Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco was the victim of a car burglary in Florida last month, and $650,000 in jewelry was stolen from his vehicle, according to a report.
Franco was in Jacksonville, Florida, playing with the Triple-A Durham Bulls during a rehab assignment when, police say, Kahlil Eugene Mathis, 24, broke into Franco's Rolls-Royce Cullinan parked outside a DoubleTree Hotel at around 3 a.m. June 22, ESPN reported.
Mathis allegedly stole a $60 safe out of the trunk that held $650,000 in jewelry, including a necklace worth $300,000.

According to the report, police arrested Mathis less than two weeks later after he sold some pieces, but three of the seven items stolen – worth nearly $550,000 – have not been recovered.
