Former world No. 1 doubles champion and ESPN analyst Pam Shriver shared good news on social media.
The LAPD detective working the case has recovered Shriver’s stolen Grand Slam trophies.
“Good news on my trophies (& family photos)—the LAPD detective in charge of the investigation has them at the police station being finger printed,” Shriver posted on social media. “It’s too long a story for a post. We still hope to find black Dodge Durango Hellcat in one piece.”

The recovery comes about 13 days after Shriver reported her car, containing most of her Grand Slam trophies, was stolen from a hotel parking lot.
“My son and I are at a police station reporting our car was stolen from the hotel parking lot we evacuated to when the fires started,” Pam Shriver posted on social media. “This was the car that had most of my major trophies being stored until we can safely move back home.”

ESPN analyst and 22-time major doubles champion Shriver told ESPN.com trophies were stored in a Dodge Durango Hellcat, parked in the Marina del Rey DoubleTree parking lot. Shriver said she discovered the car was missing at around 7:30 a.m. on Thursday and reported the theft to local police.
In all, Shriver reported five US Open trophies, five French Open plates and one Australian Open trophy were stolen.
Twenty-two time Grand Slam doubles champion Shriver and partner Navratilova are widely regarded as the most dominant doubles teams in Open Era history.
