Monday night was not an easy night for Indiana Pacers forward Paul George. While his team was losing Game 5 to the Atlanta Hawks and falling behind 3-2 in the opening round of the playoffs, George’s home was reportedly being burglarized.
ABC 6 in Indianapolis is reporting that George’s home was robbed sometime between 7:15 and 11:45 p.m. on Monday. George’s parents, who live with him, returned home late Monday night to discover that drawers and cabinets were opened and the alarm leading into the wine room was going off.
Police said the thieves made off with about $15,000 worth of jewelry and shoes. Among the missing items were George’s 2014 NBA Platinum All-Star ring, 15 watches and a pair of Air Jordan 4 “Toro” sneakers.
There was reportedly no sign of forced entry into the home, which could be explained by George’s parents’ admission that they did not lock the door when they left because they didn’t have a key. The home’s alarm system was also not set, according to police. The thieves apparently let themselves in through a door in the rear of the house.
All this on a night in which a Pacers fan was heard harassing George for traveling and not playing up to his All-Star ability? Talk about one to forget.
