Bay Area TV Reporter Resigns After Stealing Warriors Employee's Jacket 

Mike Shumann, a longtime sportscaster for KGO-TV in San Francisco, has announced his resignation after being caught on camera last month taking a jacket that belonged to the Golden State Warriors’ director of team security.

Shumann, who has served as a reporter and anchor for the ABC affiliate for 24 years, stole the jacket of Ralph Walker, who’s also Steph Curry’s bodyguard, from courtside at a team practice in San Antonio during the Warriors’ first-round series against the Spurs. A few days later, video emerged:

Shumann was sent home from the series, and has been off-air since.

Shumann’s resignation statement was released by the station:

It is with sadness that I announce that ABC7 news and I have decided to amicably part ways after 24 years together.

I regret any embarrassment I have caused the station. My recent actions do not reflect the high standard of conduct expected at KGO. Nor do they represent the integrity with which I have conducted my professional sports and broadcast careers.

I have nothing but great memories working here and covering four World Series, three Super Bowls, three NBA championship runs, a Stanley Cup and two U.S. Opens.

I want to wish the station and all my fantastic colleagues at ABC 7 the best as they move forward. It has been my pleasure to work with you.

I also want to thank all the great viewers that have supported me over the years through thick and thin. It has been a great run from a Super Bowl Champion with the 49ers to riding in parades with other World champs here in the City by the Bay. As a 40 year resident I am humbled by the support and will never forget how fortunate I have been to ride the wave of Bay Area greatness.

Hope to see you down the road.

Very truly yours,Mike Shumann

This is the absolute weirdest story. If you know more, please let us know.
