The vehicles, a BMW and an Audi, were stolen from team members.

In addition to the cars, the stolen items include 32 phones, 17 wallets, 30 sets of keys, and backpacks.

Columbus police said that two people were seen driving the Audi in Park City, making a stop at the Zip Trip, where a stolen credit card was used to make a purchase.
