A neighbor told a local television station he noticed that the gate to Gronkowski’s property was ajar early Sunday afternoon.
Los Angeles Dodgers right-fielder Yasiel Puig had a similar experience during the 2017 World Series. While he was playing in Game 7 at Dodger Stadium, authorities arrived at his L.A. home and discovered a smashed window and missing property.
Gronkowski had nine catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns in Super Bowl LII. He made headlines in his post-game press conference when he did not explicitly commit to playing with the Patriots next season.
