Den flag stolen

Saturday night was tarnished by one cowardly person. While fans
were camping out at Gate 10 of Pauley Pavilion to watch men’s
basketball on Sunday, someone came by and stole the Bruin Den flag.
After a chase, the man got away.

This flag has been with us through the great victories and the
tragic losses. It was there for our amazing win over USC on
Saturday and the heart-wrenching loss to Florida in Indianapolis.
It has been with us to four different states and hangs over the
die-hard fans who sleep outside of Pauley before every home
basketball game.

It’s the most important thing we have as a group.
It’s terrible to think that we might never see it again.

If the person with the flag could please have someone bring it
by one of the camp-outs before a home basketball game, I know many
people would appreciate it.
