Thieves broke into Rick Pitino's St. John's office, but he was at least in good spirits about it

St. John's men's basketball coach Rick Pitino was recently the victim of an office theft.

ESPN reported that the St. John's break-in happened on Tuesday evening and that the thieves stole a ceremonial sword and a bullhorn from Pitino's office during the incident, among other items.

"Police said in a statement that the two men somehow gained entry 'without authorization' and removed a number of items before fleeing on a moped heading westbound on Union Turnpike," ESPN's news service reported.

To Pitino's credit, he seemed to have a good sense of humor about the whole ordeal. He joked on Twitter (X) about a very expensive bottle of wine being part of the thieves' haul before clarifying that the bottle was safely in his wine cellar.

Hey, if you're going to be the victim of a break-in at your job, at least be like Pitino and make sure the good stuff is left at home.
