Overview
- The autographed Newell’s Old Boys shirt was taken on November 1 from the Museo de la Industria during the annual ‘Mes del Diego’ tribute in Córdoba.
- Event organizer Gregorio Tatián said a person slipped past a barrier and removed the piece from an altar-style display during a brief lapse in oversight.
- The jersey belongs to a private collector from Villa Carlos Paz and, according to organizers, was not match-worn but bears Maradona’s dedication.
- Those running the tribute say the item’s value is chiefly symbolic and that its viral notoriety makes it difficult to sell on illicit markets.
- Organizers are asking for any photos or video from the afternoon of the theft to aid recovery, reinforcing their community-driven appeal on social media.
