"When it comes to pro sports, we often forget the reality of some of the cities that players play in. Chicago which features a pro sports team in every sport is well known for having problems with crime. Blackhawks' players Caleb Jones and Connor Murphy got a first hand taste of this when their cars were stolen this week.From TMZ:The Chicago Blackhawks game against the Jets was postponed last Wednesday, so players Caleb Jones and Connor Murphy attempted to have a nice dinner ... but while in the restaurant, thieves allegedly stuck up the valet and jacked both players cars, TMZ Sports has learned. Law enforcement sources tell us 24-year-old Jones and 28-year-old Murphy were having dinner just blocks from the United Center on December 29 around 8 PM. We're told while the men were inside, thieves approached the valet and stuck an unknown object in their back, demanding the car keys. Murphy's 2017 Porsche Panamera and Jones' 2021 Jeep Trackhawk were both taken. When new, the Panamera runs about $100K+ ... and the Trackhawk, $90K+. Chicago police are currently investigating the alleged crimes. It's unclear if Jones and Murphy were targeted ... or if the theft was random.Check out the video below of the incident.
