NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – U.S. Women's National Team midfielder and Long Island native Allie Long says her key to New York City has been stolen.

Mayor Bill de Blasio presented each player with a key during their World Cup victory celebration Wednesday. Hours later, they flew to Los Angeles for the ESPY Awards, where they won Best Team.

"After the @ESPYS show someone stole my wedding ring, cash and the key to my favorite city after just receiving it from my hotel room. Do you make copies @NYCMayor? I would love a new one," Long tweeted late Thursday night.

Friday morning, Mayor Bill de Blasio responded by tweeting, "So sorry to hear it, Allie. Hang in there. Don't worry about the key. Like any good New Yorker, we keep a spare for our neighbors! We got you covered."

Long grew up on Long Island where she attended Northport High School.
