Birthday Pinch

No one was on watch when Chris Bosh left his house last week; consequently, someone left with his watches. Bosh was out attending his 29th birthday bash - which involved live camels*, belly dancers and fire eaters (no word whether the third entertainer was actually Chris Andersen taking a tiki torch to his tongue) - when his place was plundered. A dozen timepieces, worth an estimated $300K, were taken. That's enough to send someone into G-Shock.

In total, approximately $479,000 worth of jewelry, handbags and cash were stolen from his closet, although Bosh's championship ring was spared. There were people in the abode at the time, two babysitters caring for Bosh's children, so the alarms weren't activated. This, in addition to no indications of forced entry and how the contents were carefully combed through, leads law enforcement to suspect it was an inside job. The thief made it seem simple: Walk in to the walk-in, then walk out.

All told, it wasn't a happy birthday for Bosh, unless he was given about a half-million dollars worth of presents at his party. If so, he'd have at least broken even after the break-in.

*and here we thought the Heat had gotten over the hump already.
