World Cup Trophy Replicas Stolen June 29, 2010 Pretoria - South Africa’s police commissioner says seven World Cup replica trophies have been stolen from FIFA headquarters in Johannesburg. Gen. Bheki Cele said at a security briefing Tuesday, “We know that there was a burglary at the FIFA offices where they took seven replicas of the World Cup.” FIFA said the trophies were taken from a storage room, but there was no sign of a break- in. The trophies, which are usually used as gifts, are about 6 inches tall and worth $256. Cele added police were looking into the theft and suspected the people responsible were “very familiar with the environment in the FIFA offices.” FIFA’s headquarters is in the high-class northern Johannesburg suburb of Sandton.
