LeBron James' Treasure Stolen?

Just a few days ago, we reported about the $5 pendant that was purchased by Vaneisha Robinson a few years ago. Recently she found out that the possible costume jewelry was actually real and was worth $10,000. Robinson was going to post this pendant on eBay in hopes of raising enough money to open a boxing gym.

Now there are reports that this item is allegedly stolen property.

Robinson reported that she got a phone call a couple of days ago and her dream turned into a nightmare shortly thereafter. The person who called was Katherine Powers who is the mother of LeBron James' CEO (Maverick Carter) of his marketing firm known as LRMR. Robinson claimed that Powers told her James was present and they wanted her to come to the house. Powers told Robinson that they were going to make her an offer she could not refuse.

Robinson stated that once she got to the house to meet James, she found out that he was not there. There were several other individuals present and they began accusing Robinson of stealing the pendant. Robinson was accompanied by her mother.

Robinson's vehicle was blocked in the driveway and she was told she was not leaving until they got the pendant back. Robinson stated she was in fear for her safety.

A female who was visiting a neighbor called the police at around 11:30 p.m. reporting that they could hear loud arguing. This female said she had called the police after being requested by Powers.

When the police arrived, Robinson and her mother were gone. Powers was the only person left and she had the pendant. Police Sgt. Elchlinger stated Powers showed him the pendant and he was able to determine that the pendant belonged to Carter. The case is now under investigation.

Robinson reported to the police station the following day and was advised to get a lawyer.

The police are currently trying to determine if the pendant was ever reported stolen. Robinson still claims the pendant is hers and she is willing to fight until she gets it back.
