Thief Tampers With Detroit Tigers Kids Club Package in West Bloomfield

Professional baseball is here, but one young fan from West Bloomfield will have to start the season without their Detroit Tigers Kids Club activity and souvenir kit after the items were stolen from a porch over the weekend.

Officers with the West Bloomfield Township Police Department responded to 4000 block of Thorntree Drive Saturday afternoon for a mail tampering report and encountered the homeowner with a mailed package box. The resident said they joined the 2013 Detroit Tigers Kids Club and expected to receive the membership package that included:

• A special Miguel Cabrera Triple Crown Drawstring Backpack
• A Miguel Cabrera Triple "Crown"
• A Detroit Tigers Coloring & Activity Book
• A Detroit Tigers Mini Fathead
• An Official Detroit Tigers Kids Club Passport Lanyard & Holder
• A Kids Club Member Birthday Card
• Multiple issues of PAWSPrints, the official newsletter of the Tigers Kids Club

However, most of the items, including the Cabrera drawstring backpack, were removed, reports said. The items were reportedly taken sometime that morning or early afternoon. No suspect information was available.

The police report did not note a value for the stolen items, but the membership costs $15, plus additional fees, according to the Tigers Kids Club website. Anyone with information is asked to call the department at 248-975-9200.
