JEN UTLEY, VP of the board of the Pennsylvania SPCA and wife of Phillies slugger Chase Utley, has filed suit against Sanford Alderfer Transport, Inc., of Hatfield, seeking $13,000 to replace "various personal items," allegedly lost by the company while the Utleys moved from one Center City condo to another last year.
Utley's attorney, Justin Wineburgh, declined to elaborate on what the personal effects were.
A Sanford Alderfer official had no comment yesterday, citing that she had not yet received the complaint, filed Thursday in Common Pleas Court.
The case is listed for an arbitration hearing next January at the Arbitration Center, where Common Pleas suits that seek less than $50,000 are sent.
'Bachelorette' guy not best baller
"Nice guy. As long as he doesn't try to impress the bachelorette with his court skills, he might do well," says a regular on the basketball court at the Sporting Club at the Bellevue about Reid Rosenthal.
Rosenthal, 30, a realty agent at PruFoxRoach, is among contestants on ABC's "The Bachelorette," which premiered last night.

In past "Bachelorette" seasons, the final four contestants introduce the girl to their families and take them on a hometown date.
