Losses worth more than 100k

Published reports have Raiders receiver Javon Walker being robbed of $100,000 in jewelry and $3,000 in cash Monday morning. Walker remains in the hospital with a mild concussion and injuries to his face that reportedly included a fractured orbital.

*This is from the San Francisco Chronicle:

"We don't believe this is a random act," Las Vegas police Lt. Clint Nichols told the Chronicle. "They knew who he was and (Walker) presented a target.

"We did get a surveillance (video) of a vehicle and suspects that may have been involved. We know there were suspects, possibly two (but) we haven't identified anyone yet."

Walker is 6-foot-3 and is listed at 215 pounds. It would make sense more than one person would be involved.

Police are supposed to speak with Walker again today after speaking with him briefly on Monday.
