Rudi Johnson just escaped the dysfunctional family that is the Cincinnati Bengals and has landed in the slightly less dysfunctional Detroit. So how did he get greeted when he was at Lions HQ, his stuff got stolen. Yup, while Johnson was meeting with Matt Millen, he left his bags in the hall outside Millen's office and when he came out, they were gone.
The story from profootballtalk.com;
" A strange thing happened to running back Rudi Johnson when he visited with the Detroit Lions on Monday.
Someone stole his stuff.
Seriously.
Specifically, and as we’re told by a reliable source (i.e., not the person who told Mort that Joey Harrington had agreed to terms with the Ravens on Monday, or the person who told John Clayton that Todd Bouman had agreed to terms with the Ravens on Tuesday), Johnson left his bags outside CEO Matt Millen’s office while he met with team officials and, ultimately, worked out a deal with the team.
So when Johnson came back to get his bags, they were nowhere to be found. Johnson and Millen were stumped.
Enter the eye in the sky.
The team checked the videotapes generated by the team’s in-house surveillance system, and they quickly identified the culprit.
So who might it have been? None other than Tatum Bell, who lost his gig with the Lions after Rudi arrived.
Per the source, Bell took the bags to the house of a female acquaintance. When confronted on the matter, Bell offered up some cockamamie story that he thought the bags belonged to someone he knew. The girl, however, said that she hadn’t seen Bell in several months and he showed up out of the blue and asked her to keep the bags for a while.
Johnson has retrieved the bags, and it’s our understanding that charges won’t be pressed.
Tatum apparently didn’t know that he was being monitored."

It's one thing to be pissed when you are fired, it's another to steal the new guy's stuff and tell some weakass story that no one but your mom would believe, if she was drunk. If this is posted by the Detroit papers or other "real media" Bell has played his last game in the NFL.
