He’s not your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
Someone stole baseball bats and a “Spiderman mask” from MCU Park on Jan. 26, according to a police report. That night’s fizzled blizzard provided cover for the theft, but also made the break-in evident, a spokesman from the sports venue said.
“We saw footprints, and we kind of figured that there was something askew,” said communications director Billy Harner.
Workers followed the trail and found that someone had taken two baseball bats and a catcher’s helmet — sometimes called a “spider mask” for the web-like protective cage around the face — from the batter’s tunnel, Harner said.
He valued the stolen goods at around $100–$200.
The park used the gear for kids’ baseball clinics, but the burglary won’t keep MCU Park from teaching children America’s past-time, Harner said.
The burglar came in through a loading dock and fled through a side door, a police report states.
There was no evidence it was an inside job, Harner said, and the park is upping security.
