Joe Papalia went out this morning for an early trip to the store. What he found on his return blew him away. In his drive way was a Riddell bag that he hadn’t seen before he left. Sure enough it was the same bag that had been stolen from his yard 6 days earlier! ….and in it were all of the missing stolen Warrior game pants.

This is the case of the good that can come of a lot of good people getting engaged. The outrage that followed the senseless theft woke up Ottawans and the outreach and support was amazing. There is no question that the return of the stolen pants was 100% due to the awesome support of our community and for that, the Warriors want to say THANK YOU ALL!!!!
