Luckily, nobody was in the house at the time and the famous Claret Jug was already back with the R&A.
The world number 8 released this statement:
"It is obviously very special for me to be playing here in front of the fantastic Birkdale crowds as the defending Open champion so I am going to try not to let this spoil the week in any way."
"I am extremely grateful that my family were not in the house at the time."
"As many of you know the Claret Jug was returned to the R&A on Monday but unfortunately, along with some valuable personal items, they have taken all of my clothing for the week."
Stenson shot an opening one under par 69 on Thursday.
He played the front nine in two over on Friday amid brutal conditions with heavy rain and strong winds.
