"I swear I slept through the whole thing. I'm not making this up. I got up to go to the bathroom at 3:30 in the morning and decided to check my messages when I realized my computer wasn't there," Spadea told reporters. "Then I felt this intense breeze coming through the room. I had this eerie feeling throughout my body. I was thinking, 'Am I sleepwalking or something?'"

Thieves reportedly pried open the screen door during the night on his fifth-floor pool deck room at the Biscayne Bay Marriott in downtown Miami.

"(The security people are) writing all this down and asking me, 'Are you sure you lost it? Is it in your car?'" Spadea told reporters. "'Hey dude, I'm not crazy. I lost $5,000 worth of merchandise and $5 million worth of phone numbers.' I lost 21 hot rap tracks that are coming out on my new album. I'm going to have to reinvent them."
