It's all over the media, OJ Simpson recovered some stolen property with the help of a four friends and one or two guns (depends on which report you read).
OJ's story, and his story is always interesting, is that a sports memorabilia dealer contacted him with the startling news that some of his personal belongings are up for sale by dealers who would prefer to keep it quiet--which is when OJ, friends and guns made an unannounced visit. The other story is that the goodies were once kept in a storage facility rented by OJ's mom, and when the rental went due, the property became that of the highest bidder. So, OJ was taking back things that no longer belong to him.
OJ said he was running a sting on people who may or may have not stolen his property. Other people say they were robbed at gun point. The Las Vegas police are looking into the matter.
Having gotten away with murder, and I am one of those who believe he did, Simpson has every right to think he can talk his way out of this one--if, in fact, he did recover what might or might not be his at gun point. Meanwhile, Simpson's theoretical tell all, If I Did It, became the property of the out-of-their-heads Goldman family, who appeared on Oprah, changed the name of the book to I Did It, and will now recover some of their damages in the form of book royalties--assuming someone buys it. I won't, but I am sure others will.
This is a story that keeps on giving, because the cast of characters just will not shut up. I don't know who did what, and I bet the cops will have a difficult time because none of the people involved seem credible. But its just another twist in the never-ending winding road that is Simpson's life. I guess if I had beaten a double murder rap, I might keep my head down and my good self out of the media. But then, I'm not OJ. Anyway, OJ is my pick for Freak of the Week.
