The robbery at Bobby Portis' residence is coming less than a month after Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahones and TE Travis Kelce's houses were robbed. The break-ins occurred shortly before and on the day of the Chiefs' 26-13 home victory over the New Orleans Saints on October 7, while Kelce's celebrity girlfriend Taylor Swift watched from the stands. There were no injuries reported in either case. While Mahomes' report did not mention any missing items, Kelce's report listed losses as $20,000 in cash and damage to a rear door. Both robberies in Missouri happened in a 48-hour timeframe. Even the Timberwolves star Mike Conley’s Medina, Minnesota residence was burglarized in September. The robbery took place in broad daylight while he was attending the NFL's Vikings game as a special guest.
