Over on Twitter, Bridges said that her red DEX binder of modern staples and her box of random staples were stolen, and she listed the cards included in her stolen collection.

Bridges travels around the U.S. to join Magicfest events, and she's known throughout the card-playing community, and according to the report, police say that's why this theft was most likely done by someone she knows.

The thief didn't steal any other valuable possessions, just the Magic cards, police say. According to Bridges, the thief probably knew what playing cards she owned and where they were.
