So is there any place this trophy hasn't been? Crazy to see what they've uncovered now that they recovered it.
USC recently recovered the stolen copy of O.J. Simpson‘s Heisman Trophy following a 20-year search. It turn out the trophy has been buried underground and traveling the streets with a homeless man, and was once traded in exchange for a Honda and $500.
TMZ interviewed a man they believe to have been the one that was most recently holding on to USC’s copy of Simpson’s Heisman Trophy, although this man was not the one that could have pulled off the heist. He was in jail at the time of the theft. The anonymous man did admit to coming into possession of the trophy by trading a burgundy Honda Accord and $500 from a man that had the trophy buried in his backyard.
Per the report from TMZ, after acquiring the Heisman Trophy in the exchange (I guess we now know the going rate for a Heisman Trophy on the streets), the man later was left to live on the streets after being forced to lose all he had owned, but he kept hold of the trophy everywhere he went.
Coincidentally enough, just as Los Angeles police acquired a warrant, the man decided to turn the trophy over to authorities.
The investigation to find the original thief or thieves is ongoing.
