As far as thefts at football clubs go, NK Zagreb may have been the victims of the most bizarre robbery in the sport's history.
The Croatian club has reported that someone broke into their Zagrebello training ground between the hours of 9pm on Wednesday and 8am on Thursday and made away with one thing - their tractor, costing a large sum of money.
"The truth is, we have lost a tractor which was specially tuned for arranging our pitch," club spokesman Zlatko Abramovic told Sportske Novosti. "An investigation on the scene was carried out and the thief is being hunted."
And the police are hot on the chase, confirming the news: "An unknown perpetrator broke into the sports club and has stolen working machine, causing damage in the tens of thousands."
Whether or not the club get their expensive equipment back, they will have their machines under special protection from here on in.
