After a Snoop Dogg figurine and other merchandise was stolen from a St. Thomas games store earlier this week, its owners scored when their Facebook post motivated two shoplifters to return the items a day later. Marty Hancox, founder and co-owner of Fan of the Sport, was unpacking stock on Monday at the shop in the Elgin Centre shopping mall that sells sports memorabilia, trading cards and board games. He discovered a Pop Funko, a type of figurine depicting famous people and pop culture characters, was missing, said co-owner Dionne Turner, Hancox’s partner. After a search of the store failed to turn up the figurine of rapper Snoop Dogg, Hancox checked the store’s surveillance tapes, Turner said. The video showed that around 1:30 p.m., two females had pocketed the Snoop Dogg Pop Funko, a Pop Funko of X-Men character Wolverine, and a Toronto Maple Leafs coffee mug, Turner said. “I said, ‘I’m posting this online because we’ve had issues before,’” she said. “The police, they try to help, but there’s only so much they can do . . . and that’s how it all started.” This time, rather than contacting police, Turner and Hancox decided to post a video and several still images of the two females who had pocketed about $80 worth of merchandise to the store’s Facebook page around 4 p.m. on Monday, Turner said. Both Hancox and Turner said it wasn’t the cost of the items that motivated the post. Hancox said it was “more the principle of they took stuff” with Turner noting money is “out of our pocket ,too.” “We didn’t really like it, to kind of shame them on Facebook, but I thought, we’ll give it a try, and sure enough within 24 hours they contacted us,” Hancox said. He believes the pair were likely “getting pressure from family and friends” who saw their picture, he said. Turner said the two females returned the stolen property on Tuesday evening, and that the names of the shoplifters were never learned, nor were there were hard feelings. “I thanked them for bringing this stuff back,” Turner said, and told them she was “really impressed because it took a lot of guts to come in here and face me.” “We don’t care what their names are, we’re just happy we got our items back,” Hancox said. A spokesperson from the St. Thomas police stated by email that a property crime analyst with the department called shoplifters returning stolen property “very rare.” Turner said the shoplifters had mentioned they were having difficulty affording Christmas gifts, which she empathized with, but “they just went the wrong way about it. “I didn’t want them to get ostracized because everybody knew who they (are) now,” Turner said. “We got this stuff back, we’re going to drop it (and) hopefully they learned their lesson.” The post with the video and images of the shoplifters was removed and another was uploaded to Fan of the Sport’s Facebook page giving thanks to the pair for returning the stolen property and thanking customers and friends for sharing the post. The post has received an outpouring of support and even some kudos to the pair who returned the items. “Glad they came in and had a civil conversation and apologized,” wrote Facebook user Rebecaa Seeley. Tammy Crosby wrote: “That’s amazing news! That takes a lot of accountability on their part. Well done.” Turner appreciated the compassion for the two women as well. “I got teary eyed when I was reading the comments,” she said. “I was really, really impressed that everybody kind of supported them and agreed.”Canadian investment fund Brookfield said Wednesday it has dropped its bid for Spanish pharmaceutical firm Grifols following disagreement over its valuation. Brookfield and the Grifols family, which owns about a third of the Barcelona-based company that makes medicine derived from blood plasma, have since July been in talks to take it private. Earlier this month Brookfield made a 6.45-billion-euro bid for Grifols, offering a tentative non-binding price of 10.50 euros ($11) per share. Grifols swiftly rejected the bid, saying it "significantly underestimated the fundamental prospects and long-term potential" of the company. In a statement sent to Spanish stock market regulator CNMV, Brookfield said it was "not in a position to continue with a potential offer" for Grifols. Grifols said its board agreed that "it is not feasible that the transaction goes ahead" and remains focused on "improving the company's long-term value". Its share price plunged in January after US hedge fund Gotham City released a research note accusing the company of "manipulating" its reported debt and operational results to "artificially reduce" its debt ratio, and therefore its financing costs. Grifols has repeatedly denied the allegations. Gotham City is a prominent "short-seller" hedge fund that borrows stock in a company and sells it, hoping to buy it back cheaper to return it to the lender and pocket the difference. Grifols traces its history back to 1909, first as a blood analysis and transfusion laboratory before specialising in products derived from blood plasma. It is present in more than 30 countries including Australia, the United States and Japan. It posted revenue of 6.6 billion euros in 2023, a 10.9 percent increase over the previous year. vab/imm/cw

Canadian fund drops bid for Spanish pharma firm GrifolsLiverpool is 100% on top of the Champions League after dumping title holder Real Madrid into an almost unbelievable 24th place in the 36-team standings on Wednesday. No one felt the embarrassment of Madrid’s 2-0 loss at Anfield more than Kylian Mbappé, the superstar added in the offseason by the storied club that also was European champion against Liverpool in the finals of 2022 and 2018. Mbappé had a penalty saved in the second half and was earlier dumped on his behind by Conor Bradley’s superb tackle in an instant viral moment. Only Liverpool has started the new Champions League format with five wins and first-year coach Arne Slot's team is two points clear of Inter Milan. Barcelona is third, trailing Liverpool by three points. Madrid is, remarkably, with three rounds left just one place above being eliminated. The top eight teams at the end of January go direct to the round of 16 in March, and teams placed from ninth to 24th enter a round of two-leg playoffs in February. “(This) doesn’t change much, because even with a win it was going to be tough to secure a top-eight finish,” Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said. ”It was a fair result." Monaco missed a chance to go second in the table, giving up a lead playing with 10 men from the 58th minute in a 3-2 loss at home to Benfica. Swiss forward Zeki Amdouni scored the winning goal in the 88th. Borussia Dortmund, the beaten finalist against Madrid in May, is up to fourth place after beating Dinamo Zagreb 3-0. Champions League standout Jamie Gittens now has four goals in five games, curling a rising shot in the 41st to open the scoring in Croatia. The best comeback was at PSV Eindhoven, where the home team trailed Shakhtar Donetsk by two goals in the 87th minute before a 3-2 win was sealed by United States forward Ricardo Pepi’s goal deep in stoppage time. US defender Cameron Carter-Vickers scored an embarrassing own goal for Celtic — playing a no-look pass far beyond goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel — in a 1-1 draw with Club Brugge. “One of those things,” Schmeichel said. “Cam gets pressed and he hasn’t heard me shout that I’m not in (goal).” Congo teammates Ngal’Ayel Mukau and Silas impressed in wins for Lille and Red Star Belgrade. Mukau scored twice in 12th-place Lille’s 2-1 win at Bologna and Silas leveled for Red Star in a 5-1 rout of Stuttgart, though he barely celebrated his goal. Silas is on loan with the Serbian champion from Stuttgart. Aston Villa's 0-0 draw with Juventus was preserved by an excellent save by Emiliano Martinez , the World Cup-winning Argentina goalkeeper, diving low to push away a header from Francisco Conceição. Liverpool’s stand-in right back Bradley was a standout Wednesday, denying Mbappé at high speed in a signature defensive play in the 32nd. The 21-year-old Northern Ireland defender, deputizing for fit-again Trent Alexander-Arnold, joined the attack in the 52nd to play a key pass returning the ball to Alexis Mac Allister who scored the opening goal. After Mbappé’s penalty was pushed away by goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher in the 61st, Liverpool star Mo Salah missed with his spot-kick in the 70th, before substitute Cody Gakpo sealed the win with a header in the 77th. Madrid now has lost three of five games after defeats at Lille and at home to AC Milan. The record 15-time European champion has another tough trip next, at fifth-place Atalanta on Dec. 10. On the same date, Liverpool is at 30th-place Girona and looks to be cruising into the round of 16. “You know how special it is to play against a team that has won the Champions League so many times," Liverpool coach Slot said of Madrid. “They were a pain for Liverpool for many years too.” Red Star Belgrade and Sturm Graz ended four-game losing runs to get their first points and wins. Red Star rallied against Stuttgart after the German team led in the fifth minute. The 1991 European Cup winner’s goal to level the game in the 12th was scored by on-loan Silas. He held up his hands as if in apology as part of a low-key celebration. Sturm Graz won 1-0 against Girona, the Spanish newcomer to European competitions. It was the Austrian champion’s first Champions League game since coach Christian Ilzer left to join Hoffenheim. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerEAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. has been placed on injured reserve after hurting his hamstring Sunday in a 30-27 overtime victory over the Chicago Bears. The move announced Tuesday means that Pace must miss at least the Vikings next four games. The Vikings also activated outside linebacker Gabriel Murphy from injured reserve and signed linebacker Jamin Davis off the Green Bay Packers practice squad. Pace, 23, had started each of the Vikings nine games this season. The 2023 undrafted free agent from Cincinnati had 56 tackles — including six for loss — and three sacks. Murphy, 24, signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent this spring. He was placed on injured reserve Aug. 27. Davis had joined the Packers practice squad Oct. 29 after getting released by the Washington Commanders a week earlier. Washington selected him out of Kentucky with the 19th overall pick in the 2021 draft. The 25-year-old Davis has 282 tackles, seven sacks, one interception, two forced fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles in his NFL career. He led the Commanders with a career-high 104 tackles in 2022. The Vikings (9-2) host the Arizona Cardinals (6-5) on Sunday. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

BEAVER CREEK, Colo. (AP) — As the situation stands, snowboarder/ski racer Ester Ledecka has two Olympic races on the same day in 2026, at nearly the same time and in Italian mountain towns hours apart. The Czech Republic standout simply can’t make both starting gates. So she may have a big decision to make on Feb. 8, 2026 — race in the women's downhill at the Milan-Cortina Games or go for a three-peat in snowboarding’s parallel giant slalom. Unless, of course, her lobbying efforts pay off. Ledecka said she's going through her country's Olympic committee to reach out and see if one of the events can be switched. The Winter Games schedule was just recently released. “It’s like someone has broken your dream,” the 29-year-old Ledecka said after a training run in Beaver Creek as she prepares for a World Cup downhill and super-G this weekend. “So please change it. Please, please, please. It’s my biggest dream to do both. I can create a great show for people.” Ledecka is the rare athlete to do both winter sports at such a gold medal-winning level. Nearly seven years ago, Ledecka was a surprise winner in the super-G at the Pyeongchang Games — from bib No. 26, no less. A week later, she captured gold in the parallel GS (PGS). At the 2022 Beijing Winter Games, she defended her PGS crown along with finishing fifth in the super-G, 27th in the downhill and fourth in the Alpine combined. To amend an Olympic schedule would not be unprecedented. Before the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, the International Olympic Committee and the governing body for track and field accommodated a request from Allyson Felix to go for a 200-400 double. She earned a silver in the 400. In 1996, the schedule was shifted so American sprinter Michael Johnson could run in the 200 and 400 at the Atlanta Games. He won gold in both. “I would appreciate it,” said Ledecka, who started skiing at 2 years old and snowboarding three years later. “They’re fighting (for it) right now.” The current schedule has snowboarding parallel giant slalom holding a qualifying round from 9 a.m. to 11 on Feb. 8 in Livigno, Italy. The final is set for 1 p.m. Meanwhile, the women's downhill is set to take place in Cortina at 11:30 a.m. It's about a 4-hour drive between the two events. For now, she's leaning toward snowboarding. Only because a few days later she could ski race in a super-G. “I was quite sad about that fact,” Ledecka said of the conflict between events. "We'll see. It’s still quite far away.” Ledecka has 88 World Cup starts in skiing, with 10 podium finishes and four wins. She has 63 World Cup starts in snowboarding, featuring 39 podium finishes and 25 wins. “I don’t know how she does it,” said American ski racer Jacqueline Wiles, who dabbled in snowboarding as a kid. “It’s absolutely insane.” Ledecka enjoys both sports for different reasons. In skiing, it's for the speed. For snowboarding, it's the execution of a turn. It's not always easy splitting her time between the two sports, fitting in training around events. She won a PGS race on Nov. 30 in China before arriving in Beaver Creek. After this, it's off to St. Moritz, Switzerland, for more ski racing. She's currently traveling with eight snowboards and 20 pairs of skis. “You cannot believe how stacked the ski room is right now,” Ledecka cracked. “I really admire my tech guy and how he's handling it all. I’m very happy to have my team help me do this, my dream, of going from the snowboard World Cup to the ski World Cup. I'm having a lot of fun.” Notes: Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland had the fastest time in the second training run Thursday. Italians racers Sofia Goggia and Federica Brignone were both within a second. ... Lindsey Vonn is not expected to forerun before the third and final training session Friday. The 40-year-old Vonn still plans on testing out the course before this weekend's races on the Birds of Prey course. AP skiing: https://apnews.com/hub/alpine-skiing
Canadian fund drops bid for Spanish pharma firm Grifols
By GABRIELA SÁ PESSOA and MAURICIO SAVARESE, Associated Press SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s federal police said Thursday they indicted former President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 other people for allegedly attempting a coup to keep him in office after his defeat in the 2022 elections. Police said their findings were being delivered Thursday to Brazil’s Supreme Court, which must decide whether to refer them to Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet, who will either formally charge Bolsonaro and put him on trial, or toss the investigation. The former right-wing president has denied all claims he tried to stay in office after his narrow electoral defeat in 2022 to his rival, leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro has faced a series of legal threats since then. Police said in a brief statement that the Supreme Court had agreed to reveal the names of all 37 people who were indicted “to avoid the dissemination of incorrect news.” The 700-page police document likely will take several days for the court to review, Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes said. Dozens of former and current Bolsonaro aides also were indicted, including Gen. Walter Braga Netto, who was his running mate in the 2022 campaign; former Army commander Gen. Paulo Sérgio Nogueira de Oliveira; Valdemar Costa Neto, the chairman of Bolsonaro’s Liberal Party; and his veteran former adviser, Gen. Augusto Heleno. The investigation started last year. On Tuesday, four military men and one federal police agent were arrested as part of the same probe . Other investigations focus on Bolosnaro’s potential roles in smuggling diamond jewelry into Brazil without properly declaring them, and in directing a subordinate to falsify his and others’ COVID-19 vaccination statuses. Bolsonaro has denied any involvement in either. Another probe found that he had abused his authority to cast doubt on the country’s voting system, and judges barred him from running again until 2030. The far-reaching investigations have weakened Bolsonaro’s status as a leader of Brazil’s right wing, said Carlos Melo, a political science professor at Insper University in Sao Paulo. “Bolsonaro is already barred from running in the 2026 elections,” Melo told the The Associated Press. “And if he is convicted he could also be jailed by then. To avoid being behind bars, he will have to convince Supreme Court justices that he has nothing to do with a plot that involves dozens of his aids. That’s a very tall order,” Melo said. On Tuesday, the federal police arrested four military and a federal police officer accused of plotting to overthrow the government following the 2022 elections, including alleged plans to kill Lula and other top officials.SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner , who began the season as if shot from a cannon, has looked a lot more ordinary over the last two months. On Wednesday he revealed why: He’s been playing with a fractured ankle since the 49ers’ Week 4 win over the New England Patriots . Advertisement “It was a fracture when I sprained it,” Warner said at his locker. “So any time you fracture a bone, if you just continue to play on it, the bone is usually not going to be able to heal. So you’ve just got to continue to fight through.” Warner had an interception return for a touchdown against the Patriots but suffered the ankle injury shortly before halftime and did not return. He was listed on the injury report with an ankle issue heading into the Weeks 5 and 6 games but has not been listed beyond that and has not missed any starts. He was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice just as he had been in previous weeks. But he said the injury is a constant impediment. “It’s something I deal with every game,” he said. “I get on that table before the game and get it shot up every single game just to be able to roll. But it’s not an excuse. It’s just what it is. That’s the NFL . You’re not gonna be healthy. You’ve got to get out there and find ways to execute and to play at a high level and to win every single week.” GO DEEPER 49ers mailbag: Why not Josh Dobbs? What changes are looming this offseason? Warner’s admission explains the noticeable dip his season has taken. Early on, he looked like one of the frontrunners for Defensive Player of the Year, forcing three fumbles, breaking up four passes and coming down with the interception-turned-touchdown over the first four games. He seemed to be everywhere during a Week 2 loss in Minnesota and singlehandedly kept the 49ers competitive in that contest. Following the Patriots game, however, his play has fallen off. And it reached a low point Sunday when Warner was cited for four missed tackles, the most of his career, in a game in which the Green Bay Packers and running back Josh Jacobs gained 169 rushing yards. As the 49ers went into their Week 9 bye, Warner noted that he hadn’t been at full strength since the injury. His performance against the Packers invited more questions about his health on Wednesday, and this time Warner felt compelled to share the details. “I probably shouldn’t get too much into it — I probably already made a mistake by even saying it,” he said. “But, yeah, back when I hurt it there was a bone fracture there.” Free, daily NFL updates direct to your inbox. document.querySelectorAll(".in-content-module[data-module-id='scoop-city-newsletter'] .in-content-module-img img ").forEach((el) => { el.setAttribute("style", "pointer-events: none;");}) Free, daily NFL updates direct to your inbox. Warner’s injury adds to a theme the 49ers have dealt with all season: They have perhaps the NFL’s most talented roster but that talent either has been missing or playing injured this year. Of the nine 49ers voted to the Pro Bowl last season, only Warner and Kyle Juszczyk have appeared in every game so far, and Warner has dealt with a broken bone since Sept. 29. Advertisement Warner spoke on the same day his longtime linebacker partner, Dre Greenlaw , returned to practice following his torn Achilles suffered in the Super Bowl in February. Though Greenlaw is not expected to be activated for Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills , Warner said seeing Greenlaw in his uniform gave the defense a lift. “Much needed,” he said. “I’ve been watching him through his rehab for a while now. He’s been getting closer and closer. So I’m excited to finally see him out there running around a little bit.” Odds and ends • Brock Purdy attempted two very short passes in the first 20 minutes of Wednesday’s practice but otherwise didn’t attempt any throws. Purdy (throwing shoulder) was listed as limited in the practice. The session resembled last Wednesday’s for Purdy. That is, he did everything short of releasing the football. At this time last week, the 49ers thought he’d be ready to play against the Packers. But he didn’t feel right at the start of Thursday’s practice and was shut down from that point on. In that way, Thursday’s practice this week ought to be telling as far as whether he’ll play against the Bills. If he doesn’t, Brandon Allen will make his second straight start. Brock Purdy threw two very short passes at the beginning of Wednesday’s practice. Otherwise he watched the other QB’s throw — just like last Wednesday. [image or embed] — @mattbarrows ( @mattbarrows.bsky.social ) November 27, 2024 at 2:08 PM • Those not practicing Wednesday included tackle Trent Williams (ankle/heel), guard Aaron Banks (concussion), defensive end Nick Bosa (hip/oblique), defensive tackle Jordan Elliott (concussion), cornerback Deommodore Lenoir (knee), linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee) and running back Christian McCaffrey (rest). Like Purdy, guard Dominick Puni (shoulder), defensive tackle Kevin Givens (groin) and Greenlaw (Achilles) were limited. Bosa said he’s “made a good amount of progress” and is “feeling a lot better” than he did a week ago. He said that the fact that Sunday’s game is on an artificial surface — the 49ers’ last such game of the regular season — will not factor into whether he plays. “I still need to get better before I’m ready to go, so this week will be big,” he said. “And I’ll know more in the next couple of days.” Williams, meanwhile, was seen getting around via a knee scooter. He’d said previously that his injury makes even walking painful. Return man Jacob Cowing is out of the concussion protocol while cornerback Charvarius Ward practiced in full on Wednesday. • Consider the plight of Ben Bartch . If the 49ers had activated Jon Feliciano from injured reserve on Monday like they wanted to, they would have had to cut someone to make room on the roster. A prime candidate: Bartch, who had been inactive for the first 10 games. Feliciano’s knee, however, continued to be problematic and he’ll remain on IR for the remainder of the season. Not only does Bartch hold onto his roster spot, but Banks’ concussion might give him his first start for the 49ers. Advertisement • The 49ers have all sorts of obstacles on Sunday, including their litany of injuries and the fact that the 9-2 Bills are coming off their bye. And here’s one more: It might snow this weekend in Buffalo. As of now the forecast is calling for a few inches in Buffalo on Saturday and for the brunt of a big storm to pass south of the city. Though the 49ers haven’t played a snow game since their playoff win over the Packers in January 2022, several 49ers noted they have plenty of experience playing in the snow. Colorado native McCaffrey remembered being a 7-year-old middle linebacker and facing his bitter rival, the Cherry Creek Bruins, in a blizzard. He said the game went to double overtime and ended on a last-second play. “They tried a double pass,” he recalled. “I tipped it and just remember all the parents — it felt like you were playing in front of 70,000 but it was probably, like, 12 people there — all the parents stormed the field. I actually remember crying at that game. And I think that’s when I decided I wanted to play football.” (Photo: Lachlan Cunningham / Getty Images)Trump picks Oregon’s U.S. Rep. Chavez-DeRemer for labor secretaryEagles boss Oliver Glasner put his complete faith in Henderson at the start of the season, handing him the number one shirt - worn by Sam Johnstone in the previous campaign. Although Palace have faced adversity this term, Henderson has repaid Glasner’s trust and the substantial transfer fee paid in the previous summer, constantly being a standout performer for the South London outfit. Henderson, who has arguably been Palace’s Player of the Season so far, was recognised at international level for his impressive displays, making his first start for England away to Finland in October . On Saturday, Palace claimed a point against Manchester City, pulling four points clear of the relegation zone. Although he conceded twice, Henderson had a decent game, producing two excellent saves to deny Savinho and Erling Haaland, respectively. After making his 100th league appearance, Henderson revealed that Glasner's side are starting to show glimpses of the outfit that went seven games unbeaten at the end of last season. "100 per cent. Sarr has come into the team, at the start of the season no one really knew his strengths, which is obvious because we have never played together before. "Now we're seeing partnerships at the back, in midfield and up the top of the pitch. We are going to go from strength to strength now. "Sometimes as well, with the fitness of the team, it takes ten games to get to full fitness. You can see we are outrunning teams now. That was the aim at the start of the season. "Obviously, we weren’t quite doing that. We were getting outrun and outbattled. We are only going to get better." With the upturn in results, confidence within the Palace camp has increased. Henderson felt that his side would claim points against Manchester City - a feeling synonymous with the Eagles at the close of last season. “We came into the game and I genuinely believed we could win today. “We sort of went into every game last season knowing we were going to win, it was strange. Sometimes you just need back-to-back wins and that is what we're looking for. We're delighted.” Despite Palace enjoying a good run of results - losing just one of their last eight games - Henderson pointed out that facing Manchester City, who have won four-straight League titles, felt different this weekend. “It felt different on the pitch. City at times are unbelievable and you don't get a break, don't get out your own half. “They gave us a few chances, we wouldn't have got them last season, we've got to make them count and we did. “It is a great point, no matter what form they're in they are world-class players. They are still one of the top teams in the Premier League - we take confidence from that going forward.”
