Dallas Cowboys safety Ken Hamlin apparently had the tires and rims from his 2008 Escalade stolen this morning. Hamlin almost foiled the robbery, but he was fooled by a double move and had to watch helplessly as the thief raced across the parking lot to the end zone. The bandit then ferociously spiked the $15,000 set of rims and performed a complicated celebration dance that mostly involved exaggeratedly miming the actions of a NASCAR pit crew. Hamlin told police later that he thought he had help over the top from fellow safety Pat Watkins.
