Hundreds of Chris Denorfia bobbleheads mysteriously left on San Diego street

(NBC 7) How do you dispose of hundreds of bobbleheads? One household is trying to figure that out after 600 Chris Denorfia bobbleheads mysteriously showed up around its doorstep recently.

Apparently, Denorfia, who played for the San Diego Padres from 2010 to 2014, had a bobblehead day when he was with the club. Now that Denorfia is no longer with the team, there’s really no need to hold on to the bobbles. So, they somehow showed up near a condo complex in San Diego.

Residents called the cops, thinking maybe the bobbleheads were being used to transport drugs, but that wasn’t the case. They were just normal bobbleheads. The police basically told the condo owners that they might as well clean up the mess themselves and help out their homeowners association.

Cleaning up the mess wasn’t as simple as throwing out all the bobbleheads, though. A couple roommates decided to take about half the bobbleheads and lined their apartment with them. The rest were left in the street, but had disappeared by morning. It’s assumed they were taken by local residents who desperately needed to have a Chris Denorfia bobblehead.

The roommates have attempted to give the bobbleheads away to friends and co-workers, but there’s still a fair share of bobbles in the apartment. They even tried to give away Denorfia bobbleheads at a recent party.

Here’s potentially the weirdest part: The residents never heard back from the police about the incident. So, if the Denorfia bobbleheads were stolen, or part of some weird crime, it was never reported.

No one knows how the heck 600 Chris Denorfia bobbleheads wound up on a San Diego street. It’s one of the great unsolved mysteries, like Area 51 or Bigfoot.

We’re guessing it won’t be long before the History Channel is doing a special looking into how the Denorfia bobbles arrived at their destination. Who was behind this? Was it a disgruntled Padres employee who was sick of the bobbleheads taking up space in the stadium? Or was it something much more sinister? We have a guess.
