Bears quarterback Jay Cutler visits a local park near his house with his wife and young son on a regular basis, but they have never had an experience like the one they had Tuesday morning when they found a stolen wallet in the most unlikely of places.
“[My wife] Kristen and I saw this young man practically passed out on one of the park benches,” said Cutler, 30. “We didn’t recognize him, but he was pretty inebriated. I was able to reach into his back pocket and to my surprise, I found a wallet with all kinds of credit cards and even a bit of cash still inside.”
Cutler has since turned to Twitter and other social media to find the wallet’s rightful owner.
“There was a driver’s license inside and coincidentally, the owner actually looked a bit like the guy on the bench,” said Cutler. “I’m thinking that could have been the main reason he was targeted.”
If you have any information on the wallet’s rightful owner, Cutler asks that you reach out to him on twitter, or you can call Bears media relations.
“Look, we’re not looking for a reward or anything like that,” he said. “We just want the owner to get back what’s rightfully his and hopefully this will serve as some inspiration for our son one day.”
