SAN JOSE, Calif., -- After a 24-14 loss to San Jose State inside CEFCU Stadium Saturday afternoon, the Cowboys returned to the visiting locker room only to find personal items missing from their stalls.

Ten Wyoming players reportedly were victims of theft, according to a report by NBC Bay Area.

Jewelry, shoes and electronics, including headphones and Airbuds were stolen, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation.

"Yeah, it was especially brutal, especially after the loss," one source told 7220sports.com. "... When we got back, people's backpacks were open and stuff was scattered all around the locker room."

That same source said there were no locks or safes in the room.

"It was just backpacks on the ground," he continued. "People left shoes in the open, but it felt safe because they had a security guard standing outside the locker room."

SJSU police will be checking surveillance camera video to help identify suspects, per NBC Bay Area.

Wyoming head coach Jay Sawvel is slated to speak with the local media today at noon.

This isn't the first instance of a visiting locker room being robbed in California during this calendar year.

Four Colorado players told police in Pasadena last October that a number of items were missing after a game against UCLA at the famed Rose Bowl.

"The items stolen were three “diamond-plated” necklaces with medallions bearing the players’ initials, a pair of headphones and miscellaneous football equipment, according to a police report," Katie Langford of the Denver Post wrote.

Theft is considered a felony in the state of California if the value reaches more than $950.
