It is beyond my comprehension that anyone would defend luring someone to their house to get back a necklace. There are court systems for a reason. If something is stolen report it stolen. If you find who stole it turn them in.

Whether or not Carter had anything to do with it doesn't matter. It was his necklace. It should have been reported stolen and been dealt with in the correct manner.

If you kick the shit out of some guy that stole something from you no one will care. If this had been a guy and he had been injured by anyone imagine how quickly the people involved would be sued. Maverick Carter is tied to LeBron and therefor his money. Anyone would jump at the chance to sue. You are not looking at the big picture here. This was handled incorrectly and makes everyone look bad.

But fact remains, Carter's boys didn't commit any crimes and the girl in possession of the necklace is currently being investigated.

"When I got there, LeBron James was not there. It was about eight or nine other people there," Robinson said. "They pretty much accused me, they threatened me and they used their authority to they (sic) best ability to get the pendant in their possession."

Robinson said she and her mother drove to Carter's house in the 500 block of Caledonia Drive in her mother's pickup truck.

"They blocked her truck in the driveway. They told us that we weren't going anywhere until they got that pendant. I was scared for my life," she said.

Secondly, weird expensive crap winds up in rummage/yard/garage sales and flea markets all the time. Why? Because to the person selling it they don't consider it valuable and hope that someone else will find it valuable (ergo, they'll buy it).

Expensive paintings, coins, furniture, photographs, documents, etc are sold all the time.

Hell, an original copy of the constitution of the UNITED STATES was sold for $4 at a flea market.

So, yes, I find it quite believable. And a favorite thought on it is: You don't know what you've got until it's gone.
