The Charlotte Observer recently reported legendary WWE referee Charles Robinson—aka ‘Lil Naitch’—had more than $50,000 worth of movie memorabilia stolen from his storage facility.
According to the report, Robinson discovered the theft at his storage facility and later discovered that despite a lock being on the door, there was an area in the locker with a “thin piece of flimsy aluminum” that someone could bend back and break in and gain access without completely removing the lock.
“I feel a great loss of what I have been collecting for so long, but there are others that have situations that are much worse than what I am going through,” Robinson told The Observer. “I have an excellent insurance company that is really looking out for me, although many items I can never replace. I guess in the big picture, I am really blessed. Things could be a lot worse.”
Robinson, who fans might know from social media as a notable horror movie fan, has been looking on online auction sites for weeks. He says he found one listing on eBay Thursday night when he spotted what he believed to be his stolen “Jaws” statue that was valued at $2,374. He told the seller that he’d had a statue just like it stolen recently and offered $1,000 for it, but the seller immediately removed the listing and possibly provided Robinson with a lead.
Robinson said Friday that he has updated the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department multiple times and notified eBay, which told him the sale was a police matter. Robinson said he was waiting to hear back about any additional findings.
