    LOS ANGELES -- Tennis star Pete Sampras says most of his trophies and other memorabilia were stolen from a West Los Angeles public storage facility.

    The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that Sampras still has 13 of his 14 Grand Slam trophies.

    Pete Sampras' 1994 Australian Open trophy was among the items from his tennis career stolen from a storage facility.
    But thieves took his 1994 Australian Open trophy and most of the hardware from his 64 tour title wins, two Davis Cups, an Olympic ring and six trophies for finishing world No. 1 in the year-end rankings from 1993 to 1998.

    He said the loss "is like having the history of my tennis life taken away."

    The theft happened three weeks ago. Sampras, who had stored the items as he and his family moved between housing arrangements, said he's getting the word out in hopes somebody offers a lead.
