Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler was the victim of a theft last month outside a horse racing track in Arcadia, California. The incident occurred on September 28 at the Santa Anita Park during the California Crown races. Buehler, accompanied by his wife and teammate Jack Flaherty, was targeted by thieves who stole an expensive watch off his arm as he navigated through the crowd. Fortunately, Buehler was unharmed during the incident.
The theft is part of a series of similar episodes investigated by the Arcadia police, involving organized groups targeting individuals wearing high-end watches in crowded event settings. One suspect, a 24-year-old man from Los Angeles, was arrested in connection with the thefts. The stolen watches were reported to have a value of $100,000 and $250,000, although it was not specified which watch belonged to Buehler.
