Nearly $500,000 in valuables were stolen from the home of Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young last month, the latest in a string of break-ins at celebrity homes around the city, a police official told The Times. No one was home at the time, according to Preciado, who said thieves stole $500,000 in “jewelry and other items” from the residence. Young was on hand to compete in the three-point shooting contest, but got knocked out in the first round. This is not the first time that Young, a former USC standout who goes by the nickname “Swaggy P,” has been struck by thieves in Los Angeles. The break-in was the latest in a string of heists that have struck the homes of Los Angeles celebrities.
