This reunion was all love. Retired pro tennis champ Pam Shriver was reunited with the trophies that were stolen from the hotel she was staying at after she evacuated her home during the LA

wildfires. “It was an interesting chapter. I wish the trophies could talk,” Shriver said on Friday. “I would like to have known where they’ve been.” On Jan. 15, Shriver, 62, was at a hotel

in Marina del Rey when her Dodge Durango Hellcat, which contained 11 tennis trophies and other prized possessions, like old family photos, was stolen. Ten days after the theft, the trophies

were placed outside the hotel in boxes, but the car still hasn’t been recovered. EXPLORE MORE “The trophies were buried in the back of the car. You couldn’t look in the window and see them,”

Shriver, who now works as a TV commentator and coach, continued. “I don’t think they were of any good to the people who took the car. So they ended up returning them.” She received the news

of their return via a phone call from the hotel’s manager. Before she was able to take them back, a detective fingerprinted them. “Then the trophies were released to me,” she said. “I

regained custody.” Among the 11 pilfered trophies were five she was awarded for winning the U.S. Open women’s doubles championship, five French Open plates and one trophy from the Australian

Open. Shriver, who is a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, won 21 Grand Slam doubles championships — all but one partnered with Martina Navratilova — a gold medal at the 1984

Summer Olympics and 111 doubles titles in her storied career. On Tuesday, after the mementos were found, Shriver wrote to Navratilova on X, saying, “Thanks for calling partner. Today feels

like we won another major!” With Post wires
