(SportsNetwork.com) - Houston Texans linebackers coach Mike Vrabel says the three Super Bowl rings he won with the New England Patriots have been stolen.

"To all the Houston area pawn shops: 3 super bowl rings are headed your way. Courtesy of the (expletive) who smashed our back door in," Vrabel tweeted from his verified account.

Vrabel played 14 NFL seasons, much of them with the Patriots from 2001-08. He retired following the 2010 season after playing his last two years with Kansas City.
