Thieves stole loads of cash and designer watches after breaking into the home of former NBA star Paul Pierce in Los Angeles last week, according to a report.

A law enforcement source told TMZ that burglars broke into Pierce’s home on Friday and stole $100,000 in cash,  high-end watches and a safe.

Police said Pierce wasn’t home at the time. No arrests have been made so far.

Authorities said they’re still combing through the former star’s home surveillance footage to pick up any leads.

Mr. Pierce, 46, is a Hall of Famer in the NBA and won a title with the Boston Celtics in 2008.

Los Angeles police have recently warned of “burglary tourists” who come to the city from South America in order to loot mansions.
