On Monday, the NFL confirmed the discovery of two of Tom Brady's missing Super Bowl jerseys and have found Von Miller's missing helmet as part of the ongoing investigation.
An investigation has been underway for Von Miller's missing helmet as part of the theft of Tom Brady's Super Bowl jerseys. A helmet has been found with Brady's two jerseys, and it is believed to belong to Miller. Miller was also missing the cleats he wore in Super Bowl 50. "We have been in contact with NFL security regarding a Denver Broncos helmet that could potentially belong to Von Miller," said the Broncos in a statement. It's been reported that the suspects who stole Brady's jerseys are believed to have taken Miller's helmet and cleats. The funny part is, Miller didn't even realize his belongings were stolen until they showed up with Tom Brady's jerseys. "The crazy thing is I knew my cleats had been missing, but I didn't think much about it... I saw the story about Tom Brady's jersey and thought, 'Dang, somebody might have stolen my cleats, too'. I just didn't press it." Broncos' Vice President of security Keith Bishop contacted Miller about the missing items. Miller knew his cleats were gone, but he didn't realize his helmet was stolen too. "I didn't have it for over a year and didn't realize it." https://twitter.com/MikeKlis/status/844396287231512576 Miller has yet to receive the missing items, as they have to be authenticated by authorities, but he's confident they'll be back in his possession soon.
On Monday, the NFL confirmed that it located the two jerseys belonging to Tom Brady in Mexico, which are now in Boston for testing to confirm their authenticity. The NFL stated, "The items were found in the possession of a credentialed member of the international media." One jersey went missing from the Patriots' locker room after their Super Bowl win in February and was valued at $500,000; the other jersey Brady wore in Super Bowl 49.

The alleged thief is Mauricio Ortega, the ex-director of Honduran newspaper Diario La Presna, who had credentials for both Super Bowls.
