Placing items on the roof of your car is always a risky proposition. There’s always a risk that you’ll forget them and they’ll get lost while you drive, and it could wind up anywhere along your route.
New York Giants long snapper Zak DeOssie learned that the hard way when he left his Super Bowl rings on the roof of his car. According to Deadspin’s Samer Kalaf, he initially reported them stolen, but when the police investigated they found that he had instead left them on the hood of his car.
A person who lives along the route found the two rings, one of which (the 2007 one) had shattered.
