Pam Shriver, the 21-time Grand Slam double champion, received a call from General Manager of the DoubleTree Hotel in Marina Del Rey on Monday.
“We have her awards,” he said to her.
She believed that he was talking about hotel rewards after getting her family's recent stay there. It was her evacuation goal when the Palisades in Los Angeles sneaked dangerously near Shriver's Brentwood house.
She soon realized that he was talking concerning the Grand Slam Trophy collection that had been in her son's automotive when she was stolen from the hotel. 11 trophies from the United States and French were spent on Wednesday, January 15, along with a series of family photos.
They also got here back.
“Anyone who stole the car, I don't think they have found that they will get some photos of my mother's family and a few trophies,” said Shriver in an interview on Thursday.
Almost two weeks after taking it, a box of trophies and photos appeared near the hotel car parking zone car parking zone. Shriver said that Det. Damien Levesque from the police authority in Los Angeles informed her that they’d collected the box on Tuesday. According to the detective, the film material showed that somebody appeared from a black SUV to depart the box on the hotel. Shriver collected the trophies the subsequent day after the fingerprint.
The restoration of the photos and trophies ended the primary phase of a story that began two weeks ago when Shriver woke up in Marina Del Rey Doublere and located that her son's automotive had been stolen. Shriver won lots of her titles with Martina Navratilova, the previous world No. 1, who won greater than 50 majors during her profession, and described that the trophies were “feeling like the feeling like the feeling. [they] won another major ”in one post on X.

Pam Shriver says that 11 Grand Slam Trophies were stolen during the La fire evacuation
Shriver spent the day dealing with this unfortunate event while sent messages to Donna Vekic, the top -Croatian tennis player that she trains. Vekic, the seed No. 18 at the Australian Open, prepared for their game in the third round in Melbourne, 7,000 miles away.
Vekic won, but there was no news about her things, apart from her five Wimbledon double trophies. They were in a fighting bag that had landed in a car other than stolen Dodge Durango of her son George.
Despite their reputation and importance, the trophy and sports memorization pieces in general have very little value because they are of course stolen. The car was the object of greater value for every prospective thief.
Shriver was happy to have her back, she said, and to be back in her house, which was not damaged because the fire brigade could keep the fire brigade about a mile from its property. In the evacuation swing, the content of this box was something of a blurring.
Among the Grand Slam trophies was another estimated price – a totem that was awarded the most improved golfer of the Brentwood Country Club in 2001.
Navratilova doesn't have that.
