Did Rudi Johnson Call For A Bell Hop? He Shouldn't Hav

A strange thing happened to running back Rudi Johnson when he visited with the Detroit Lions on Monday.
Someone stole his stuff. Seriously.
Specifically, and as we’re told by a reliable source (i.e., not the person who told Mort that Joey Harrington had agreed to terms with the Ravens on Monday, or the person who told John Clayton that Todd Bouman had agreed to terms with the Ravens on Tuesday), Johnson left his bags outside CEO Matt Millen’s office while he met with team officials and, ultimately, worked out a deal with the team.
So when Johnson came back to get his bags, they were nowhere to be found. Johnson and Millen were stumped.
Enter the eye in the sky.
The team checked the videotapes generated by the team’s in-house surveillance system, and they quickly identified the culprit.
So who might it have been? None other than Tatum Bell, who lost his gig with the Lions after Rudi arrived.
Per the source, Bell took the bags to the house of a female acquaintance. When confronted on the matter, Bell offered up some cockamamie story that he thought the bags belonged to someone he knew. The girl, however, said that she hadn’t seen Bell in several months and he showed up out of the blue and asked her to keep the bags for a while.
Johnson has retrieved the bags, and it’s our understanding that charges won’t be pressed.
Tatum apparently didn’t know that he was being monitored.
Fortunately, the displaced running back wasn’t Najeh Davenport.

I heard that there was cash and Johnson's id missing when the bags were returned.
Though I'm sure what I heard was unconfirmed speculation...I mean reporting.

Well Rudi didn't use common sence for leaving cash and credit cards in the bags. It could be very well that Bell happened to get these bags by mistake

I read he left the empty money clip. Doesn't sound "by accident" to me.

Yeah, I read the same thing. On the other hand I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to Bell. I also read where Bell was supposed to pick up some bags for another dude, thats where I came in and said it may have been a mistake.
