Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler was robbed of a luxury watch valued at over $100,000 at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. The incident occurred on September 28, 2024, when Buehler and his wife were accosted by a group of thieves who surrounded them and slipped the watch off Buehler's wrist. The robbery took place 10 days before Buehler's scheduled start in Game 3 of the National League Divisional Series. The police are currently searching for multiple suspects involved in the theft, which is part of a larger grand theft spree at the racetrack. At least three Santa Anita Park visitors were targeted in a series of distraction thefts. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts commented on the situation, emphasizing that Buehler is safe and the watch can be replaced.
