Earlier Monday, Brown took to social media to address the vehicle theft.

"To whoever stole my car last night, I’ll make a deal with you," he said. "Bring back my car and I won’t press charges, or when I find you today, it’s going to be what it’s going to be. Take it or leave it my guy."

Brown did not share details of the theft, other than it happened at about "3:42" and started an Instagram story video with "come on, Philly."

On Monday morning, Haddonfield police reported that an unlocked vehicle was stolen from a driveway in the borough. Surveillance footage showed a suspect entering the car at 3:42 a.m. Monday, police said.

Haddonfield officials did not mention Brown.

Brown is coming off his third-straight All-Pro season with the Eagles. He made three catches for 43 yards and a touchdown in the team's 40-22 victory against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.

He is leading a one-day youth football camp in Haddonfield this summer.

Several Philadelphia athletes have made Haddonfield their home, including Phillies star Bryce Harper.

The theft is under investigation. Anyone with information can contact the Haddonfield Police Department at detectives@haddonfield-nj.gov or 856-429-3000.
