    St. John's head coach Rick Pitino's office at St. John's University was broken into and the thieves stole numerous items, including a signed basketball and bullhorn, per a report from the New York Post.

    "Legendary basketball coach Rick Pitino’s office at St. John’s University was broken into by a pair of thieves who ransacked it for memorabilia, cops and sources said," according to the Post. "Two as-yet-unidentified men ran off with $375 worth of goods, including a basketball and bullhorn."

    The thieves have yet to be found, but a video surfaced of the two.

    The thieves also stole a sword, masks and alcohol, the Post said.

    "Police said in a statement that the two men somehow gained entry 'without authorization' and removed a number of items before fleeing on a moped heading westbound on Union Turnpike," ESPN reported.

    Pitino took to X on Thursday to air his frustration with a post that read, "Really upset! Taking my memorabilia is one thing but the 1985 6L Petrus Pomerol has me livid!!!"

    Shortly after, he mentioned that the 1985 6L Petrus Pomerol was a joke: "The 1985 Petrus was a joke. I would never keep that on my desk! Saving that one in a wine cellar to open after the Johnnies go to the final four!"

    The Post also obtained several still photos of the thieves. A police investigation is underway.
