Kris Jenner spoke on Ryan Seacrest’s morning show, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, about the robbery that occurred at her daughter Kourtney’s Calabasas, CA home on October 17th. The robbers got away with over $100,000 worth of jewelry. Jenner was quoted as saying the robbery did seem fishy, because the thieves had to know when the cameras would not be rolling for the E! reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and also had to know when the alarm system was not activated. This suggests an inside job, and Jenner, who spoke along with Khloe Kardashian, is hoping to have the case solved quickly. One piece that was stolen, a watch, happens to be of great sentimental value to the family. The watch belonged to Robert Kardashain, the girls’ late father that Jenner had passed down to their first daughter, Kourtney.
