KEY POINTS:
Crusaders and Junior All Blacks prop Wyatt Crockett is offering a reward for retrieving two prized rugby jerseys stolen from his Christchurch home.
Crockett intended to frame and mount the Junior All Blacks jersey he wore during the Pacific Nations Cup and the Crusaders jersey he wore in the Crusaders Super 14 final win last year.
Both jerseys carry Crockett's No 1 and the prop told The Press newspaper he was "gutted" thieves had snatched them from his wardrobe during a break-in this month.
"The jerseys are the only thing I have to remind me it's real," he said.
"It's something you wear along the way and you don't get given them too often."
Crockett said Crusaders players were given only one jersey a year and New Zealand players received one at the end of each match.
"It's something I am proud of."
The jerseys were in a wardrobe in the suburban Redwood house he shares with partner Jenna Donaldson.
Burglars also stole the couple's laptop computer, iPod and a camera, but all they really want back are the jerseys.
