Authorities have confirmed that a number of items, including Beyoncé’s unreleased songs, were taken from a car in Atlanta a few days ahead of the singer’s four-night Cowboy Carter tour stop.

The incident happened on July 8, two days before Beyoncé’s first Atlanta show.

Dancer Diandre Blue and choreographer Christopher Grant told police that they had parked the black Jeep Wagoneer they had rented and entered a neighboring food hall. According to a police incident report, the rear window of the car had been shattered and two suitcases were gone when Blue and Grant got back, the BBC reports.

They told authorities that they were “carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé” in the stolen vehicle. Some of the stolen items from the rental car included “five jump drives containing watermarked music, unreleased music, footage plans for shows past and future, and set list,” according to a police report.

Other stolen things included a laptop, luxury apparel, and Apple AirPods. According to the police report, authorities used tracking information on the laptop and headphones to determine where they may have gone.

Authorities also checked the vehicle for fingerprints and found “two very light prints.” Although the suspect’s name has not been released, Atlanta police said an arrest warrant has been issued.  

It is unclear if the stolen things have been found.

Since early albums like Dangerously In Love and 4 leaked illegally online before their release dates, the singer has reputedly worked carefully to prevent leaks in the second part of her solo career, according to the BBC.

 She originated the “surprise drop” with her self-titled fifth album, which was released unannounced on December 13, 2013, and included artistic films for each of the 14 tracks.

The album, which was recorded under the code name Lily, was only made available on Apple’s iTunes store in order to reduce the number of people who knew ahead of time.
