Grealish house raid

[JTFactsPlz]

For me.players need to be careful on what they post and the images they post.
Sounds a bad ordeal that could have been a lot worse however the reality is crooks will target the wealthy and pounce upon any small bit of detail.

People blaming the victim for what they post on social media are completely barking up the wrong tree here. (And note Kevin's Belgium house was raided when he never posts anything relevant to that on social media.)

Jack posted nothing on his social media that would have given people any clues as to where his house is or what of value is in it. All he posted was a pic of a Christmas lunch table and some other people posted pics of the inside of a nice house which could have been anywhere at Christmas. It's hardly a stretch to conclude that a famous footballer with a big family would be having Christmas at his nice house with them.

The problem with a lot of people knowing about this house has come from the Scum and the Daily Fail posting details and pictures of it. Along, presumably, with the people who worked on and in the house, and even locals who live nearby, blabbing about it. None of those things are Jack's fault and are outside his control. The only thing it seems he can do is employ a different security firm and put even more security in place.

It appears Pep jumped on this "less posting on social media needed" bandwagon in his press conference which is EXTREMELY disappointing from him. It shows a real lack of understanding from him and to be implying victim-blaming against one of his own players in this circumstance is bad judgement and behaviour IMO.

Usual ignorant bullshit being posted here from people who can't be bothered to read the articles actually posted at the beginning of the thread, I see.

The reporting says that dogs alerted the family to the crime and there were security guards on the estate. Clearly even more needs to be done but SUBSTANTIAL security was in place. (Such that it points to a good chance of an inside job to me.)

The £1 million number is also undoubtedly plucked out of the air by the Scum and the Fail because it's a nice round number sure to enrage the jealous types.

Congrats on jumping to a judgemental conclusion based on nothing, though.

It's also been widely reported that everyone is fine physically.

Thanks for that Inspector Jacques Clouseau.

The jewellery should be wired up to the mains when the panic button is pressed. Maybe with some squid game machine guns attached to motion sensors.

I doubt Grealish gives much of a fuck about the jewellery and is more relieved that his loved ones are okay.

Congrats on adding to the steaming pile of "blame the victim" shit stinking up this topic.

Thanks for your contribution.

I am glad that no one was hurt physically, but it is not always the physical that is the worst.
It is the mental/psychological feelings that take the time to heal. It took me a full 18 months before I walked back into my house (2 up/2 down so not huge) without having my keys pointing ready to gouge at an intruder. Two break ins within 5 weeks will do that to you!!
So saying they are not hurt physically is reassuring in some ways but leaves you nervous.

Sorry you had to endure that x

Got away with an old iPhone and half a toastie loaf dosent get folk clicking

Sorry to hear that, Eccles, but you do live in a ghetto…

I got burgled at uni and lost thousands of CDs. I obviously was gutted about losing my childhood music, but it was the feeling of intrusion and the feeling of someone going through my things that lasted longer.

It wouodnt surprise me if they moved soon.

The above is mostly correct however Pep /others also have a point
If he posted a picture of his Xmas lunch that could be enough to identify his location via the geotag

I quite agree with Pep, sure these guys have wealth but talking and posting anything in the slightest will give the wrong sort of people the wrong sort of ideas, just dont advertise anything on the socials, it's common sense really.
These thieves are pros and could even be foriegners flown in to do the job for specific targets.

To be clear as well in no way whatsoever do I blame Grealish or any other burglary victim
In theory you should be able to leave your house unlocked (I know you can’t)
The only person responsible is the thieving scumbag burglar rat - lowest of the low

Are we ready for the stock photo of footballers’ pads in 2024?

*lol* my neighbours are wonderful though.

I'm sorry you had that experience and yes it is the feeling of someone going through your things etc. They took my birth mother's wedding ring (she died when I was 4 years old) and my engagement ring which had broken. The rest of the stuff was replaceable but not my Mum's ring.

Nobody was hurt he lost a few trinkets.

The police helicopters were out as were police Dogs and the associated staff.

If any of us get burgled or attacked you probably couldn't prise the copper on call from the ASDA doughnut section for 2 days even if they think it's worth it.

That’s awful, sorry EB. The sentimental value of items can never be replaced or recovered.

You see loads of posts on social media of people losing their phones that only want them back for the photos on them.

Get them backed up and saved on iCloud or your computers. It can happen to anyone.

Not necessarily true .There are a number of factors to consider .Burglary is a force priority therefore if there is a burglary happening (suspects still at the address)
all available police resources will be considered and deployed if necessary
The helicopter and dogs will attend if they are available and can get there in time to make a difference and the cops on the ground think the area is secure
No point sending either resource if the burglars are long gone
Granted the police will take longer to get too a burglary that happened a few days ago
It isn’t about money it’s about having a realistic chance to catch the burglars

I'd like to think you're right but...

That isn't true at all, the local plod couldn't care less about assault let alone burglary. Jacks house is marked for a higher degree in protection, whether or not that's because of a larger insurance claim we will never know.

Woman across the road from me got pretty much cleaned out, alarm bells going like the clappers and the sleuths in the dept gave her a police crime number.

I think a high profile footballer, who has potentially had a few million pounds of items stolen, is probably enough for the police to get off their ass.

Unfortunately for us mere paupers, someone high profile being robbed for millions, is probably more alarming than one of my neighbours having their £300 bike nicked out of their shed.

See that's the big point and IMHO you are right, his losing a million is less than someone losing a telly or a computer.

Whilst his family were terrified (Nobody knows the details) the hoi polloi take risks most days in their lives. You can have sympathy for Jacks family but I wouldn't go too over board with it.
