More on: Broncos, Denver, David Diaz-Infante, Super Bowl, ring (all tags)

Some people just seem to have all the luck, like David Diaz-Infante. The former Denver Broncos lineman was on both late 90s Super Bowl squads and had the rings to prove. We say "had" because the knucklehead basically gave one of `em away at a party in July of 2006.

It was a big party," Deputy Police Chief John Ercul said. "Apparently he passed the ring around and let people look at it. It never did get back to him. The ring was reported stolen, and we did an investigation on it. A number of people were questioned.

Talk about a dumb move. "He passed the ring around and let people look at it"?!?! Does he let strangers at parties test drive his car as well? While that might be one of the stupidest things we've ever heard, it certainly isn't the strangest tidbit in this jewelry caper. Luckily for Diaz-Infante, the ring was eventually recovered. Where you ask. How about in a mega market bathroom.

Ercul said a woman, whose name was not released, found it in the ladies' room at a Sam's Club and handed the ring, worth $50,000, over to police.

"He was very happy to get it back," said Ercul.

Ercul said police will now focus their investigation on Sam's Club to try find the thief. "We will follow up on that and see what we can find out. It's going to be tough, but we'll see if we can get to the bottom of it.

Found it in the ladies room at Sam's Club, huh? You know if that was Larry David's Super Bowl ring it would be going straight in the trash can.
