MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Crime in Milwaukee affects thousands of people -- even in some cases, very well-known people.

"Yes, everything's ok. My car was stolen," said Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer.

That was Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer's response to a reporter's question yesterday. He didn't say a lot more than that, but police say the car was stolen Tuesday night near 2nd and Florida in Walker's Point.

It was recovered early the next morning on the north side.

"We reported it to the Milwaukee Police Department. They did some great, quick work, and it was found and nobody was hurt and I'm thankful for all that," said Coach Bud.

Police are looking for suspects.

So far this year, police report over 7,000 car thefts in Milwaukee -- compared with 8,800 all of last year, and 3,300 in 2020 -- the year dominated by the fight against COVID.
