Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber has lost a vital piece of information as a result of a recent theft. With the NFL rusher recently becoming the victim of a robbery, the thieves apparently got ahold of one of Barber's electronic devices, one that contained the team's playbook on it.

“Atlanta police are searching for a group of thieves who they say broke into an NFL player's SUV and stole his team-issued tablet and passport, among other things,” reads WSB-TV's report of the incident. “Channel 2's Michael Seiden spoke to police, who said a group of men broke into Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber's SUV around 5 a.m. Saturday.”

Luckily for both Barber and the Buccaneers, it appears as though this can all be categorized in the “no harm, no foul” folder since it does not seem like the thieves were able to access the team's playbook.

“We were able to remotely disable the Surface tablet once we were informed,” local authorities noted, via WSB-TV. “There was no playbook info on the computer, just some self scout videos, etc… nothing of much importance.”

With the investigation still ongoing, some neighbors that live in the area remain rattled.

“We were leaving the building to go to the grocery store and then we see another police officer inside the garage and we knew what it was,” one neighbor said, via WSB-TV. “It's alarming. I don't know if we are going to move and find somewhere safer.”

On the field, the struggling Buccaneers certainly need all the help they can get while Tampa Bay doesn't need the opposition to catch a sneak-peek at the team's playbook — that's for sure.
