Isn’t this a thing now? Targeting celebrities athletes because you know when they’re out of town.

It is, just google it, lots of NBAers, highly professional gangs from Venuzuela i think they said, there was also lot of Premier League players also before, but different style, they broke in even if they were home

That's horrible. Such a thing cannot be replaced. But those thieves are going to have a hard time selling them to anyone not on the black market. Hopefully they get caught.

The thieves will try and sell them back to him anonymously with crypto on a dark market.

They will send him an anonymous email with instructions.The market can hold the funds in escrow until he gets them back in the mail. What's a few grand to a multi millionaire ?

What's sophisticated about looking at a player's schedule and robbing them while they aren't home?

Why do we need the FBI when we have you?

What an absolutely ignorant question. Do you really think NHL players bring their wives and kids with them when they play road games?

Per the FBI, the sophistication comes from potentially having inside information when alarms systems are down (as in Malkin’s case), using wi-fi jammers to overcome alarms/cameras, entering second story windows which generally are not alarmed, and surveilling the residences they rob through means such as acting like delivery drivers or even jogging in the neighborhood to learn the habits of the residents.

It was reported weeks ago that pro sports athletes were being targeted when they were traveling.
Probably focussing the ones who are not married. Less chance of someone at the home.

It's not complicated what they do. It's definitely organized.

What’s really difficult is that they manage to do it in a world full of external cameras. Streets are full of them. Hiding is extremely complicated when you’re able to trace every single thing in detail. Police aren’t fools, and these guys clearly know how to handle this. They just keep going again and again.

That is no easy thing to keep doing this and not getting caught by police.

Just giving thieves the credit where it is due.

It definitely sucks, but if you’re a pro athlete and know this is happening to other athletes, if you’re not shoring up security (which they obviously have the means to do), I don’t have an abundance of sympathy. They guys can replace whatever gets stolen, even rings. Keeping things like that in a safety deposit box should be common sense, especially if you have a safe at home that can just be left open.

I do wonder if the supposed sophistication of the people doing this (if it is one group) is just having people go to work in these houses to find out who has shitty security and simply taking advantage of stupidity.
