Los Angeles -- Los Angeles police say they have no leads in a reported burglary in which a cache of trophies belonging to tennis great Pete Sampras was taken.
Sampras told police someone nearly cleaned out the storage in November, taking his first Australian Open trophy and awards from nearly 90 other events he participated in during his career.
"I thought there were security cameras," the 39-year-old Sampras told the Los Angeles Times. "I thought these things were locked up tight. I was shocked."

Bolingbrook police Lt. Mike Rompa said "a laptop computer, camera, Wii and Xbox video game systems, a platinum and diamond engagement ring, other jewelry, stocks, bonds and $50 in change -- roughly $20,000 worth of property" was stolen during the Nov. 30 break-in, The (Joliet, Ill.)
