The Cup has been stolen, nearly stolen and misplaced multiple times, including once in Chicago. The trophy was on display in the Chicago Stadium lobby during the 1962 playoffs when a Montreal fan tried to steal it from its case while the alarms were turned off. A police officer spotted and stopped the would-be thief right as the man got to the exit doors.
There have been other notable mishaps. Members of the Ottawa Senators drop-kicked the trophy into a canal while celebrating their championship win in 1905. No one bothered to retrieve it until the next day.
