PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Police are investigating a report of more than $100,000 worth of jewelry missing from the hotel room of Philadelphia 76ers forward Joe Smith.

Smith discovered he lost four pieces of custom-made jewelry worth $110,000 when he returned to his Philadelphia hotel room following a game against Toronto on Jan. 15, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Smith went to police on Thursday and reported that two necklaces and a custom-made medallion vanished between 11 a.m., when he left the hotel, and 10:30 p.m. that day.

Police said that there had been no forced entry into the room, and that the items had not been secured in a safe. They did not have any reports of thefts from the hotel that day and were continuing their investigation.

Asked after practice Friday about the incident, Smith had little to say.

``No, I wasn't robbed,'' he told the newspaper. ``I just had some things misplaced, but I wasn't robbed.''

Police did not know the reason for the delay in reporting the missing jewelry.

Smith was acquired by the Sixers along with Andre Miller in December in the deal that sent Allen Iverson to the Denver Nuggets.
