The theft of a $2 million watch from the Malibu home of rapper/producer Timbaland was under investigation today.
The Jacob & Co. watch was taken from a home in the 4400 block of Encinal Canyon Road, sheriff's Lt. Rich Erickson said.
TMZ.com reported that Timbaland's family "believed that he was so distraught over the theft ... that he might harm himself.'
About 4:50 p.m. Tuesday, "deputies responded to a call initiated by distraught family members of Timothy Mosley, better known as "Timbaland,' according to Erickson.
"The caller indicated they 'had an emergency,' that Mosley was upset, under a lot of stress, and had left the Malibu residence on Encinal Canyon (Road) in his Cadillac Escalade,' Erickson stated.
His wife, mother-in-law and friends tried to find him without success, so they called sheriff's deputies for help, he said.
A helicopter crew spotted Mosely in Point Dume at Heathercliff Road and, though someone told authorities that Mosley took an unspecified medication that would make finding him urgent, Erickson said that was "unfounded.'
