Link below, some scum (all thieves are scum) stole Kevin Wagner's LSU ring collection. He is a long time LSU employee, mostly on the broadcast team. I have met him, good guy, and works hard behind the scenes for what we all love-LSU sports. In any case, if anyone gets offered an LSU ring with "Wagner" on the side, call the police or better yet, beat the seller to a pulp.

Wagner is one of the funniest guys I've ever met. He and John Schebee.

That is a shame. Hope they catch the thugs and return his rings.

That guy (the thief) deserves to be thrown into Mike's habitat right around feeding time.

This is probably true. The rings were probably dismantled for the value of the gold and gemstones.

Very, very sad.

I hope he gets the back. Since they are flagged the only thing the thief can do is try and melt them down to sell them for their worth (which I REALLY hope doesn't happened)

I pray these get returned, Kevin is a great guy

Not necessarily an inside job. A decent burglar will know all the usual hiding places. The fact none of them have turned up on the collector's market indicates the thief didn't know what he had. Probably melted down for a fraction of their real value, unfortunately. Feel bad for Kevin. It's a conundrum. If you keep your stuff locked away, you can't enjoy it, so what's the use of having it? One of the hazards of life.

I met Wagner at Disney World before the 2004 Cap One Bowl. I saw his national championship ring and asked him to show it to my son. He immediately removed the ring from his finger and handed it to him. The guy was pure class and I hope they catch the dirt bag who took his rings.
