A report by the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department, which released it publicly on Thursday, said the total value of the items stolen was $400,000. From Sept. 1 to Sept. 5, Ms. Williams played several matches at the U.S. Open and advanced to the semifinals, where she lost to the eventual champion, Sloane Stephens. Ms. Williams acquired the Florida property, which backs up to a golf course, nearly two decades ago, according to property records. Palm Beach Gardens in Palm Beach County is home to many professional athletes, including her sister, Serena Williams. The burglary came about three months after Ms. Williams was involved in a fatal car crash near her home.
