R.A. Dickey steals Daniel Norris' van, takes it on a joy ride
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Daniel Norris has received a lot of attention this offseason for his quirky lifestyle. Norris, you see, lives in a van, and occasionally gets mistaken for a homeless person.
One of the downsides of living in a van is that an ambitious thief can turn you into an actual homeless person at any time. Norris’ teammate, R.A. Dickey, did exactly that Thursday.

It's one thing to steal a man's ride, but did Dickey have to criticize the lack of power steering? It's fair to say he knew what he was getting into when he spotted that beauty in the parking lot.
Norris was made aware of the theft, but seemed to take it in stride.
Yes. That's @RADickey43 whippin' the VW. pic.twitter.com/aCKt9kYKef

Based on how happy Dickey looks in that picture, it's unclear if Norris will ever get his van back. For all we know, Dickey could still be out there joy riding through the mean streets of Dunedin.
Good luck getting your house back, Norris. Driving a VW van will change a man.
