Two days after the Miami Heat stole the NBA Championship from the San Antonio Spurs, Tim Duncan and the Spurs were robbed again.
On June 22, "unique sports memorabilia" was stolen from a residence on Holly Leaf Lane, according to Montgomery County Police.
Investigative detectives determined the homeowners discovered that "several items of unique sports memorabilia" was stolen while they had taken a walk.
"The sports memorabilia items that were taken from the home include a basketball signed by the 2005 San Antonio Spurs Championship team, a basketball signed by the 2007 San Antonio Spurs Championship team, and two San Antonio Spurs #21 jerseys autographed by Tim Duncan," according to Montgomery County Police.

IN A SEPARATE INCIDENT last Saturday, July 13, investigators with the same division investigated a late-night burglary and robbery on the 7100 block of Natelli Woods Lane that occurred at approximately 11:30 p.m.
Residents of the home awoke and found two male suspects in the house who demanded valuables, according to police.
"Investigators believe that entry to the home was made through an unlocked door and will attempt to determine whether this incident is related to other late-night burglaries," said police. "Patrol units and a K-9 team searched the area but the suspects were not located."
