Olympic skater's equipment stolen during visit to 'Frisco
SAN FRANCISCO - A US Olympic figure skater had two pricey costumes and her skates stolen from a rented motor vehicle while visiting San Francisco.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on Tuesday that Marissa Castelli was competing in the US Figure Skating Championships in nearby San Jose last week.
She and her parents visited the Japantown neighborhood for lunch on Monday before returning home to Rhode Island.
A burglar broke into the vehicle and stole several pieces of luggage that included two skating costumes worth at least $1,000 each, along with her skates.
Castelli competed in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, and is the 2017 US national silver medalist.
San Francisco is plagued by auto burglaries, with a record of more than 30,000 reported last year.
