According to TMZ, Bosh's kids, another teenager and two babysitters were in the home at the time of the burglary, but none of them heard a thing.
Police say the thieves took their time and handpicked all of the items they wanted. Bosh's championship ring was spared.
The player and his wife, Adrienne, were out celebrating his 29th birthday at the time of the break in. When they got home they realized their closet had been ransacked. Bosh contacted his security director and his assistant. Police were called at 12:30 a.m.
There were no signs of forced entry, however two doors were unlocked.
"We are leaning on the side of this being an inside job," Miami Beach Police spokesman Bobby Hernandez told NBC Miami.
Police are interviewing the babysitters and checking to see if any contractors had been to the home recently.
The home is equipped with surveillance cameras and an alarm. The alarm wasn't activated because the babysitters were there. Authorities are reviewing tape from the cameras looking for leads
