police are investigating the theft of the items, which belonged to Mark Ballas,
Derek Hough and their band. At the time the robbery took place - between 4.30
and 5.30 p.m. - the two dancers were in the Twin Cities, with Kristi Yamaguchi,
an American figure skater and the 1992 Olympic winner in women's singles.
The trio was having dinner at a Roseville restaurant, Outback Steakhouse.
Among the missing objects, which worth thousands of dollars,
there were diaries, music collections and photographs from “Dancing With the
Star” tour.
"It was quite devastating, to say the least. You just
feel sick," Yamaguchi stated Sunday with regard to the burglary.
As written by the ice-skater and the group on Myspace page,
4 laptops, iPods and digital cameras have been lifted, in addition to cell
phones, passports and a dictaphone which contains the new pieces of music of
the band Almost Amy. Yamaguchi estimated the loss at roughly $15,000. The band
offers a $5,000 reward for anyone having relevant information.
According to police, another vehicle was forced the lock at
the Outback Steakhouse the same night.
The dancing stars were in the Twin Cities to take part in a
benefit to combat cancer. "I feel so bad," Yamaguchi said.
"These guys came in for a good cause to help out and it's not starting out
so good."
