Here’s the latest in sports news.

Two criminals were arrested and charged with stealing items from the spring training rental home of three of the Rays star players. Among the items missing was Evan Longoria’s AK-47. Want to know how the burglars managed to get into the house?

The sliding glass door was open to allow their dogs to get out and a window was unlocked to allow burglars in.

Player Longoria had a permit for the gun, I guess for protection. It’s also possible he has a concealed weapons license.

Where is the gun now? I’m sure long gone into criminal hands and the registration number can be traced back to the idol of many young baseball fans when it’s used to kill a mother or a father or a child or a policeman. Then if he’s traded, many of his fans might not care so much. I certainly don’t care now.

Among other things stolen was some marijuana according to the two captured thieves. Naturally the players denied having any, but if some was found it might possibly have belonged to a house guest.
