While Justin Bieber was stealing hearts Tuesday night in Tacoma, someone was stealing his camera and computer containing personal images.
The teen singer heartthrob performed to a sold-out show in front of 20,500 fans at the Tacoma Dome.
On Wednesday afternoon Bieber tweeted this to his 28 million followers:

He later added:

Tacoma police had no record of a theft report being filed, said spokesman Mark Fulghum, who was inundated Wednesday with calls from national media about the theft.
Tacoma Dome officials became aware of the alleged theft after the show was over and the tour was being loaded into its transport vehicles, interim director Rob Henson said Wednesday.
“Justin’s tour security approached our operations staff to say there was a laptop missing from the tour manager’s office,” Henson said.
Bieber’s areas are under tight security and monitored, he said.
“The tour manager and head of security crowded into the security office and we rolled the (surveillance) tape back,” Henson said. “We viewed the tape and went through the whole thing. After they looked at the footage they couldn’t make a determination (of any theft).”
The singer returned to his native Canada for a show Wednesday night in Vancouver, B.C.
Other than the theft, Bieber left town presumably in good spirits. He tweeted: “thank you to WASHINGTON state last night. U GUYS WERE LOUD!!!! MUCH LOVE!”
