Kenny Pickett's car stolen with his Steelers' playbook on the back seat

If you don't know the name Kenny Pickett, you're probably not a Pittsburgh Steeler fan, so this story might not interest you. Kenny is the new Number 1 quarterback for the Steelers who came in last year to replace the retiring Ben Roethlisberger.
A car belonging to Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett was stolen this week and later recovered by police — along with Pickett's Steelers playbook. Post-Gazette news partner KDKA-TV reported Friday that Pickett's 2023 Hyundai Genesis was stolen from the Bowser Chevrolet lot in Monroeville while he was inside doing some promotional work.
Christopher Carter, of Murrysville, was charged with receiving stolen property, unauthorized use of a vehicle and theft, KDKA reported.According to a criminal complaint, police were called to Bowser about 4 p.m. Wednesday for a reported car theft -- it turned out to be Pickett's.
The complaint said employees saw a man, later identified as Carter, "walking around in the showroom at the dealership for a while before taking the vehicle," KDKA said. The complaint says the man was seen on surveillance stealing the car after he was spotted arriving at the dealership in his own vehicle. Police tracked his vehicle to his home in Murrysville, where the stolen vehicle was found, KDKA reported.
The Steelers confirmed to KDKA-TV that Pickett's playbook was in the car but it had been recovered.

According to the police report, the book was recovered intact. Probably the thief didn't realize the playbook was worth more than the car. This whole thing is ludicrous.
the thief couldn’t even sell it to a high school coach if it was the ‘play book’ they used last year.
‘Coach Canada’ has some ‘issues…’
