My girlfriend and my cell site location should do the trick!
Also what’s my motive for stealing gaudy jewellery?

Do burglars only steal things they like, sir?

Finally found this thread again (not sure why it’s in “off topic”).
Anyway I ended up posting in JG’s performance thread but essentially Pep handing the Scum an open goal with this headline was nothing short of stupid.
Manager effectively blames own player for break in.
Pep can be legendary in his pressers but his comments about social media were way off the mark and utterly irrelevant to the burglaries City players have been subject to. I don’t think Jack would have been too happy about it and rightly so.

He’s kind of right though. If you broadcast you’re off to Greece for 2 weeks, it can be read by ne’er-do-wells who could take advantage, especially if you are a brand ambassador of Gucci.

But it’s completely irrelevant.
When did Jack post on his socials he’d just moved into his house?
When did he post on his socials where his house is?
When did he post on his socials all his belongings?
When did he post on his socials where his family were on Wednesday night?
He’s done none of those things. His use of social media (which is pretty infrequent) has fuck all to do with the fact his house was broken into. It’s just a fact.

Whilst all may be true, I’m sure they’re all warned about the pitfalls of posting on social media.

Not looking for an argument, but it wasn’t all his belongings they went after. Just very high end watches and jewellery - and this article appears to have been written based solely on social media pics posted by Grealish: https://iflwatches.com/blogs/celebrities/football-player-jack-grealish-watch-collection
The watches mentioned at the link above alone are worth £400-500k (although given they’re stolen and on some kind of register now, I doubt they’d actually fetch that). I assume he has more than what’s listed in that article too. All you’ve got to do then is work out where he lives, then jackpot?
A lot of gangs go after really high end watches - Mahrez had a load stolen, Frank Lampard has been targeted multiple times and had a load of Pateks stolen. Sterling and Delle Ali have had significant watch collections stolen too. Watches and jewellery are small, light and easy to spirit out of the country. Which is why they’re targeted like this. I read somewhere about gangs flying in from South America to carry out these thefts then flying straight back out, but I’m struggling to find the source now (although Vanity Fair has a similar article except the break ins are in the USA.)
You don’t have to look too far into Grealish’s socials to see he has a significant watch collection knocking around his gaff (he’s not the only one, Jesse Lingard and others have pretty nice collections too.)
I think it’s happening more and more nowadays as brands like Patek, Richard Mille and Rolex are increasingly trendy. And watches are a lot easier to steal and conceal than say… a Ferrari, or other high ticket items a footballer might buy.
Fwiw, if I was on £100k+ a week I’d be hiring one or two full time security guards to look after my family, my house and my stuff. Shouldn’t have to be that way, but here we are!
Maybe some players need to take a leaf out of Rodri's life style.
There was a rumour thieves were planning on raiding his gaff.
They backed out when they realised the the petrol needed to run the getaway car would cost more than they would get!
