Chicago Bears rookie linebacker Roquan Smith told police several items, including a team-issued iPad, were stolen from his car Saturday, according to ESPN.

There were no signs of forced entry, police said, but other materials gone from the car include a helmet from college, three Georgia Bulldogs jerseys, two watches, a pair of sunglasses, shoes, four pairs of headphones, a speaker, and Smith's Athlete of the Year trophy from Georgia.

"These items are of great sentimental value to him and were very hard to determine worth," the police said. "It is possible those jerseys are worth up to $40,000 apiece due to Mr. Smith's clout at UGA and soon in the NFL. However, Mr. Smith stated that those belongings are priceless to him."

Smith's car was located in a parking garage of an apartment complex at the time of the incident. He said he locked his doors but acknowledged he may have accidentally unlocked them when he went outside to a friend's vehicle parked nearby.

The Bears removed the contents from the iPad remotely, so there's no way anyone could access team information, including their playbook.
