Athletes’ homes have been hit by a real epidemic of burglaries in recent years. Criminals monitor from the match calendar and the players’ social media accounts when the apartment is likely to be empty and strike then.
In October, the NFL club Kansas City Chiefs by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce homes were broken into. On the NBA side, the Minnesota Timberwolves Mike Conley and the Milwaukee Bucks Bobby Portis have also suffered the same fate.
Criminals may tamper with home security systems by pretending to be employees of a maintenance company or joggers living nearby.
The problem is not unknown in Europe either. Manchester City Jack Grealish and Kevin De Bruyne homes were broken into in December last year. Grealish’s family were even inside watching the City game when the criminals arrived.
