Robert Griffin III’s time in Cleveland has been a factory of sadness. Now his wallet is a little lighter, too. On Sunday afternoon Grete Šadeiko, Griffin III’s girlfriend, tweeted that the pair had an unfortunate realization upon returning to their car after the game on Sunday.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
People on the internet are giving the couple hell for keeping their valuable belongings in their car, which is pretty much “things not to do with a car 101,” but this wasn’t some open parking lot at 3 a.m. outside the Denny’s on the bad side of town where that guy got shot one time. It was the private team parking lot for players and had a valet.
Šadeiko is right. There’s a certain expectation to keeping your stuff in a car managed by a valet inside a private lot. It’s pretty much one of the perks of having valet service. Now RGIII’s timeline in Cleveland has taken another weird twist.
