Reality-television star and expectant mommy Kourtney Kardashian has become the latest victim of a burglary over the weekend, when her Calabasas, California home was broken in. Expensive jewelry was taken, including a few vintage items that Kardashian had inherited from her late father, the police tell People magazine.

Reports say Kourtney was out for dinner with her partner and father of her baby, Scott Disick, and only discovered the break-in when they returned home at around 8.30 in the evening on Saturday night. However, other reports claim she was in Las Vegas, where the entire Kardashian clan had been out partying. What is certain until now, though, is that Kourtney is now $100,000 worth of jewelry short.

“Approximately $108,000 in jewelry was stolen Saturday from Kardashian’s Calabasas, Calif. home, Los Angeles County Sheriff Sgt. Kristy Criner tells People.” the aforementioned publication writes. “That’s what was discovered missing in the initial investigation. Sheriff’s investigators and our crime lab are responding on the scene.” Sgt. Criner says for People. A spokesperson for Kardashian was not immediately available for comment.

As People also points out, more and more celebrities are getting robbed by the day, and they’re mostly female. Audrina Patridge and Lindsay Lohan, for instance, have in common more than their soaring popularity with the paparazzi, as their houses were broken in by the same burglar, a celebrity hanger-on, as the police believe. The London flat of No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani was also burglarized, but she, for a change, was lucky and nothing was taken from it, as the robbers gave up when they came across the security system, as we also reported a while ago.

“They failed to break into the upstairs flat [Stefani] shares with husband Gavin Rossdale, also a singer, they stole jewelry from their downstairs neighbor, media executive Dame Liz Forgan. Dame Liz, 65, a former Channel 4 and BBC chief, was not home when the break-in happened in Primrose Hill, north London.” the Telegraph wrote at the time of the incident.
