Madonna said Monday she was offering a reward for information leading to the recovery of archival items that went missing after her appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, and police said there was no evidence the items were intentionally stolen.
A missing property report was filed shortly after 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Empire Polo Club by a representative of the singer, according to the Indio Police Department.
The items, which included clothing and jewelry, were last seen about 1:30 a.m. Saturday on a golf cart. A preliminary investigation found that two bags containing the items may have fallen off the cart while staff were transporting them to a bus, police said.
The bags were discovered missing only after staff arrived at a hotel, police said.
Madonna said the missing items include vintage garments she wore during her Friday appearance.
“This full circle moment hit different until I discovered that the vintage pieces that I wore went missing — my costume that was pulled from personal archives — jacket, corset, dress and all other garments,” Madonna wrote on social media Monday.
Madonna returned to Coachella for the first time in two decades to join Carpenter onstage and announce her upcoming album, “Confessions on a Dance Floor II.”
Although she said on social media she was “still flying high since Friday night at Coachella” and excited to announce her new album, Madonna said the missing items are part of her personal history.
Images of the items were posted on her Instagram account.
The amount of the reward was not disclosed.
Anyone with information was asked to contact the department at 760-391-4057, or to return the located bags at 46800 Jackson Street in Indio.
