Michael Bay Burglarized -- No Special FX Involved

Coming soon to a pawn shop near you ... Michael Bay's stuff.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ director Michael Bay was the victim of a home break-in at his apartment in New Mexico last night. He's staying down there while filming "Transformers 2." If surveillance video of the crime exists, it's probably grossly over-directed, but will take in $100 mil at the box office anyway.

Authorities wouldn't confirm what was taken, but we can only hope it was every copy of the movie "Pearl Harbor."
