The Milwaukee Bucks are 7-0 for the second time under head coach Mike Budenholzer. This start is tied for the best in franchise history (1971 and 2018) and spirits are high in Milwaukee. Unfortunately, a well-deserved off-day on Tuesday did not go too well for Coach Bud. According to The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Budenholzer’s car was stolen on Tuesday night at Walker’s Point.
Per MJS, Coach Bud’s car was stolen near South Second Street and West Florida Street. A quick Google search of this area revealed that the area is home to expensive loft apartments. Coach Bud had left the keys to his car, an Audi, inside his vehicle.

Coach Bud confirmed to the media that his car had, in fact, been stolen on Tuesday night. “Yes, everything’s OK. My car was stolen. We reported it to the Milwaukee Police Department and they did some great, quick work, and it was found and nobody was hurt. I’m thankful for all that,” he said.
According to the report filed by the Milwaukee Police Department, Budenholzer’s car was reported stolen at 11:14 PM. Budenholzer had last seen his vehicle at approximately 7:00 PM that evening.
