If six years of watching him terrorize defenses has taught America anything, it is that Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is not a man to be trifled with.

Unfortunately, someone in Philadelphia appears to have made that mistake. On Monday, Brown groused on social media that his car had been stolen—and sent a crystal-clear message to the alleged perpetrator.

"Dear Philly... To whoever stole my car last night, I’ll make a deal with you," Brown wrote Monday morning. "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."

Dear Philly-
To whoever stole my car last night, I’ll make a deal with you….
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, 27, won his first Super Bowl with the Eagles a few months ago. Inasmuch as one of the NFL's best wide receivers can be a "fan favorite," he endeared himself to Philadelphia fans by reading on the sidelines during the playoffs.

Brown later took to social media and said that his car had been found.

"I'm out here grinding for the Philadephia Eagles and I gotta look for my car," Brown said. "Come on man! Nah but look, we already got the whip. See I told you to just turn the car back in—just turn it in. Now you've got to deal with the consequences, man."

"I'll tell y'all a little funny joke. This morning, when I was talking to the police, my little son comes up and goes, 'Dada, dada, Paw Patrol!' I said, 'Everybody's got jokes this morning.' Now the joke's on you."

Sources told Fox 29 in Philadelphia that Brown's car was found in Camden, N.J., and that the alleged car thief was taken into custody.
