Tennis legend Pete Sampras lost the vast majority of his trophies and memorabilia from what was one of the most successful careers in tennis history.
Sampras said that theives broke into a public storage facility near his Los Angeles home, and took the majority of the trophies and memorabilia from his 64 tour victories, as well as an Olympic medal, and six rings that were given to him for finishing number one in the world rankings from 1993 through 1998.
"For me to have it for my kids is priceless," he said, according to the Los Angeles Times. "I just hope it hasn't already been destroyed. That's why I wanted to get the word out now. I know this is a long shot, but I'd regret it if I didn't at least try."
Sampras' trophy woes got us to thinking about other memorabilia mishaps over the years. These 15 stories are the strangest, funniest and most depressing trophy stories of all time. Sometimes, the trophies were found; others, the trophies didn't survive. Either way, let's get started, shall we?
