A Heisman Trophy O.J. Simpson won in 1968 has been recovered more than 20 years after it was stolen in a burglary at the University of Southern California, police said Tuesday night.

The trophy and a Simpson jersey were stolen in a burglary at Heritage Hall, home to USC's athletic department, during a July 28, 1994, burglary. At the time, Simpson was awaiting trial for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, who were killed the previous month. He would be acquitted in 1995.

The trophy was recovered last month by detectives assigned to the LAPD's Art Theft Detail, the department said in a statement.

The recovered Heisman was the duplicate that is given to the university of the winning player and not the one given to Simpson himself in 1968, police said.

Simpson's own trophy was seized under a $33.5 million judgment after a civil court found Simpson liable for the deaths of Nicole Simpson and Goldman.

They have 10,000 officers and an annual operating budget of $1.5 billion. LAPD is the 3rd largest police department in the country.

I think they can spare a couple officers for that detail

O.J. should have been the first player to win the Heisman twice. He was that good.

He got screwed out of the 1967 Heisman.

He rushed for more yards that year than the UCLA QB (who won it) had passing.

I liked a comment I saw on the ESPN article about this...

"I didn't steal OJ's Heisman Trophy, but if I did it, here's how it happened..."
