The Pittsburgh Penguins have recovered their shipment of stolen Jaromír Jágr bobbleheads that went missing earlier this month. A special cargo recovery team negotiated the return of the stolen property to a secure warehouse in Ontario, California. The truckload of bobbleheads has arrived in Pittsburgh and is expected to be delivered to PPG Paints Arena within the next week. The bobbleheads were taken from a shipment intended for a game against the Sharks on March 14, leading the team to give fans vouchers for later pick up. Fans will now be able to collect their bobbleheads on April 6 and April 7.
The Penguins did not disclose where the bobbleheads were recovered from or how they were originally stolen. The bizarre story garnered national attention and the team embraced the situation by creating a short video featuring Jagr, showing the Penguins legend heading out in a car with one of the bobbleheads, presumably to search for the missing shipment. The social media post from the team was tagged with “#JagrWatch.” Penguins president of business operations, Kevin Acklin, also had some fun with the news, joking about a potential movie deal with Jean-Claude Van Damme in reference to the 1995 film “Sudden Death.”
The stolen bobbleheads were part of a giveaway to commemorate Jagr’s contribution to the Penguins during his 11 seasons with the team, including two Stanley Cup wins. The team announced that fans with vouchers for the bobbleheads can start collecting them on the specified dates in April. The Penguins expressed their gratitude to the cargo recovery team that facilitated the return of the stolen bobbleheads.
