LAS VEGAS, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Boxer Floyd Mayweather is offering a reward for recovery of an estimated $7 million in jewelry taken from his Las Vegas estate.

SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Mayweather's Aug. 17 rip-off may be the largest home burglary in local history and came after he had displayed much of the jewelry on the MTV show "Cribs" last year, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Thursday.

At least two people broke in during the heist, which was partially caught on surveillance tape. Mayweather is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the return of the jewels after police and private investigators hit a dead end.

"There are no leads", said K.W. Hasan, who works for the investigating firm of Sherbrooke, Jelan and Associates. "That may be a method to the madness of setting the reward."

Mayweather's net worth is estimated at $150 million and he has nicknamed himself "Money." Still, veteran crime observers say the theft was hardly chicken feed.

"Seven million dollars? That's big in anybody's book. That's huge", former sheriff and 33-year Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department veteran Jerry Keller said. "That's the biggest I can remember."
