As Randy Spencer hopped on the elliptical on Friday morning, a thief made off with his belongings, including two Grey Cup rings.

Spencer, who played for the Edmonton Eskimos from 2003 to 2006, said a man had approached him in the change room saying he forgot his lock.

The former CFLer suggested the man could put his belongings into his locker, but the man said his girlfriend was bringing a new lock, Spencer said on Friday during a phone interview while waiting for his wife to let him in the house.

After about a minute on the elliptical, Spencer noticed the man leaving the gym, breaking out into a run away from the facility on Calgary Trail.

Thinking that was suspicious, Spencer checked his locker to see his lock was gone. When he checked his pocket, his rings, wallet and keys were gone.

“I ran out the front door and tried to see if I could see him, but he was gone,” Spencer said.

Instead of working out, the former defensive lineman has spent the day cancelling credit cards and filing a police report.

“He didn’t realize I played in the CFL — there’s not much money to steal,” Spencer said with a laugh.
