INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — A security guard for the San Antonio Spurs said his championship ring

was stolen from his hotel room last week, according to a report filed at the Indian River

County Sheriff's Office.

The 51-year-old told the Sheriff's Office he was staying at a hotel Wednesday in the 900 block

of U.S. 1 and left his ring on the night stand. He left the room at 2 p.m. Wednesday and

returned that evening, discovering the ring was gone, the report said.

The $2,500 gold-and-silver ring includes the Spurs logo on top and a hammer breaking a rock on

one side, the report said. The size 13 1/2 ring also has the word "Packen" on one of its

sides, the Sheriff's Office said.

The owner said the championship rings furnished for the support staff of a team are different

than the ones made for the players.

Anyone with information about the crime should call Crime Stoppers at (800) 273-TIPS.
