Mass. Man Panhandles To Repay Tom Brady
Man Stole Flower Planters Worth $8K From QB's Condo
le two flower planters worth $8,000 from behind Tom Brady's Boston condominium says he has to panhandle to pay restitution.
Dennis Paiva told the Boston Herald he scours the streets for trash to sell. He said he took the planters from behind a condominium because they were next to the trash and sold them for $450.
Police caught him on surveillance video. The 61-year-old convicted bank robber said he had no idea they belonged to the New England Patriots quarterback.
He agreed to pay $4,000 restitution to Brady's real estate trust. But he said he can't work after recent surgery so he begs passers-by for money.
A Patriots spokesman said he doubts Brady is aware of Paiva's situation.
