Andy Murray reunited with his stolen wedding ring after issuing public plea

Andy Murray has been reunited with his wedding ring and tennis shoes after they were stolen in California earlier this week.

The tennis star says he is “back in the good books” at home, days after losing the ring and shoes as he left them underneath his car overnight while preparing to compete at Indian Wells.

As a tradition, Andy attaches his wedding ring to the laces of his shoes when playing but had forgot to remove it when leaving the trainers outside.

Following a public plea on social media, the wedding ring and shoes were recovered and he’s now in a much better place with wife Kim Sears.

“I just want to send a quick message to say a huge thanks for all the messages and also to everyone for sharing the story about the shoes and the wedding ring", Andy wrote on Instagram.

“[I] had to make a few calls today and chat to the security at the hotel and everything.

“Little update for everyone – would you believe it, they still absolutely stink but the shoes are back, the wedding ring is back and I’m back in the good books. Let’s go.”

Explaining the incident on his Instagram page on Wednesday, Andy explained how he’d ended up losing the two important items and asked for help in finding them.

He said: “Last night after dinner I got back in the car to go back to the hotel and the car didn’t smell great.

"Basically, I’d left my tennis shoes in there. it’s been 39 degrees so my tennis shoes are pretty damp, sweaty.

“So I decided when I got back to the hotel that the shoes needed some air, I needed to dry them out a little bit. I have no balcony in my room and I didn’t want to leave them in my room as it would stink the room out.

“So I thought I’m going to leave the shoes underneath the car, to get some air to them and dry them out overnight. Anyway, when I got back to the car in the morning, the shoes were gone.


“So my tennis shoes for the tournament had been stolen, so I had to go to the local pro shop and buy different shoes, different brand, which isn’t the end of the world, but obviously not ideal.

“But as I was preparing for my practice, my physio said to me, ‘Where’s your wedding ring?’

“And I thought oh no. I basically tie my wedding ring to my tennis shoes while I’m playing because I can’t play with it on my hand.

“So, yeah, my wedding ring’s been stolen as well. Needless to say, I’m in the bad books at home, so I want to try to find it.

“So if anyone could share this, or have any clue where they may be, it would be very helpful, so if we can try and get them back and get to the bottom of it, it would be much appreciated.’

Luckily, Andy was reunited with his ring and shoes just in time for his next game – he’s due to play Adrian Mannarino in the first round of the Indian Wells tournament on Saturday.
