Former Tennis Star Pam Shriver Reveals Grand Slam Trophies and Vehicle Stolen Amid LA Wildfires
Former tennis star Pam Shriver has revealed that her Grand Slam trophies and vehicle were stolen after she evacuated her home due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. Shriver, who evacuated from Brentwood to a hotel in Marina Del Ray, told FOX 11 Los Angeles that she is feeling unsafe in the city due to the natural disasters, fires, and crime.
Shriver explained that she was trying to get back into a normal routine when she noticed her Dodge Durango was missing, and the trophies were in the back of the SUV. She expressed her frustration and disappointment at the situation, saying, “For people who are doing this, like come on man. We gotta come together. We gotta do things like the way you see people donating, the way you see the first responders, how they’re pushing through this. Let’s all feel a sense of community and help the people of Altadena and Pacific Palisades. Come on, let’s do the right thing.”
Looting has been a major issue as firefighters work to contain the infernos, with authorities arresting at least a dozen people in connection with looting and arson. California Governor Gavin Newsom has called for looting in fire evacuation zones to be a felony, saying, “Preying on people at their most vulnerable is despicable, these criminals are among the worst kinds.” Newsom emphasized that looting has never been legal and will not be tolerated as the state continues to battle the ravenous inferno.
