An arrest has been made in the reported theft of an SUV belonging to Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett. A Steelers playbook in the vehicle has also been recovered. Sister station WTAE obtained the court paperwork for a man who was arrested in Wednesday's theft. Pickett had been participating in an event at a Pittsburgh-area car dealership when the SUV, a 2023 Genesis, was stolen. Police were able to identify the suspect by running the plates on the suspect's personal vehicle, which he had left at the dealership after stealing Pickett's vehicle. A neighbor of the suspect tells us Pickett's vehicle was sitting near the suspect's house, and a dealership sent somebody down to pick up the SUV.He says the representative then told police, "'Oh, the car was just sitting there, and he (the suspect) took it. And the owner has a book in the back, just personal information.' And come to find out, it's Kenny Pickett’s car. It’s the Steelers playbook on the backseat."The Steelers told WTAE that a playbook was left in the stolen SUV. That playbook has since been recovered.
