FBI Returns Stolen Helmet To Broncos' Von Miller

Generally, you're not going to find a lot of people in Denver with any sort of goodwill toward the New England Patriots. For a brief period, though, things may be different. Thanks to an investigation into Tom Brady's stolen Super Bowl jersey, Von Miller, who was the MVP in Super Bowl 50, has his helmet from the game back.

The funny thing is he didn't even know it had been missing until the FBI told him last week that it recovered the helmet in Mexico.

"I didn't even know my helmet was missing. That's how crazy last year was," Miller said last week. "But we had the best of the best, the finest investigators on the whole ordeal. They were able to find Tom's jersey, and they were able to find my helmet, as well. Hats off to those guys."

The FBI recovered the helmet along with two of Brady's jerseys and other sports memorabilia. The agency was working with the Houston police; Brady's jersey was stolen earlier this year after Super Bowl LI there.

Investigators tracked the stolen memorabilia to Marin Mauricio Ortego Camberos who, as a member of the press, had been covering Super Bowls for years and was apparently stealing memorabilia, say officials.

He was fired by his newspaper.
