Last night, a disturbing report emerged that a burglary occurred at linebacker Junior Seau’s home only five days after he died there. The good news, if there is any, is that police have recovered the $500 bike stolen from the garage.

The bicycle, which belongs to a friend of Seau’s, was found in the possession of a man who bought it from another man on May 8, the day after it was stolen. The man who made the purchase isn’t regarded as a suspect.

Police are investigating the burglary. Per U-T San Diego, the man who sold the bicycle is white, late 20s or early 30s, and he weighs about 180 pounds.
