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

Yep, some Celtics player homes got hit back in November by people who shouldn't be here.

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 ?

The FBI says these crimes mirror the tactics used by South American criminal gangs. Very sophisticated.

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

He made a tiktok about it

Yeah, cause that's what makes them professional...no. the way they get in/out cleanly is the professional sophistication.

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

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.

This has been going on for awhile, several NFL players have also had break ins this year.
