Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am has had £7,000 worth of property stolen from his car.

Thieves broke into the musician's Bentley in Hollywood on Monday night (21.06.10) by smashing a window and stealing several expensive items.

Items belonging to the rapper's friend Cheryl Cole are also rumoured to have been taken from the vehicle - including songs for her new album.

A source said: "He called Cheryl to let her know. She is on tenterhooks waiting to find out whether anything of hers was taken."

The 'I Gotta Feeling' hitmaker was the first to realise his car had been broken into and filed a police report - telling them jewellery, and a laptop were among the things taken.

Police are said to be tracing the thief and have already found some of the stolen property.

Last month, will.i.am spent £15,000 on designer clothing in half an hour when he visited London.

The hip-hop star arranged a private shopping spree at designer Vivienne Westwood's shop in Mayfair.

A source said: "He turned up out of the blue and his minders arranged with the store manager to close the shop for him. He was in a good mood and went wild."
