Optimistic Nut Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2008/11/06/liverpool-fc-s-lucas-leiva-is-latest-player-burglary-victim-100252-22201131/ THIEVES have broken into the home of Liverpool FC’s Brazilian star Lucas Leiva stealing prized football mementoes. Officers were called to his house in Woolton just after 11.30pm on Tuesday and scoured the property for valuable loot. The midfielder’s Olympic bronze medal from Beijing was taken along with a number of Brazilian and Liverpool football shirts. He is the latest Reds star whose house has been targeted after break-ins at the wealthy homes of players including Daniel Agger, Pepe Reina, Dirk Kuyt, Peter Crouch and Jerzy Dudek and Steven Gerrard. Merseyside Police has confirmed that neither Lucas nor his partner were at home at the time of the burglary. The player had been playing that night for Liverpool that night at Anfield where he had been brought on as a late substitute. Among the items stolen are: - the Olympic medal with a picture of a footballer kicking a ball on one side. It is approximately 3 inches in diameter and has a red ribbon attached to it - a collection of Brazilian football shirts, large in size, with the name 'Lucas' on the back. Each shirt has a different number on it - a collection of Liverpool football shirts, large in size, with the name 'Lucas' on the back and all with the number 21 on the back. Crime scene investigators have attended the address and house-to-house enquiries are taking place throughout the area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Makes you wonder, when players consider moving there they are warned about this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I know jokes are made of this but it is not a funny topic at all. It is evident these players are being targeted. There was a gridiron player player in America last year, Sean Taylor, who home was broken into when he should have been away with his team. However, his injury had allowed him to stay back at his home. So when the thieves broke in, he was sleeping in his bed. The player ended up dying after being shot in the leg and bleeding out. I make it a personal quest to despise Liverpool, but imo this kind of crime is not amusing at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Capital of Culture my Arse! Still love the story of the 2 lads who decided to rob an Everton players home back in the 90s. Shame the player was at home at the time. And it was Duncan Ferguson. Bad choice boys! http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=56297.250#quickreply Karma boys. Karma. They may get all of the luck on the football pitch. But after 90 minutes they go home. And they still live in Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You would think they would have realised that its always a European cup night by now. Set the burglar alarm lads!!! Seriously though, should Liverpool FC not be hiring some security for the players houses for the next couple of European games to see if they can nip this in the bud?

The problem is it is in Liverpool. The security bods are the worst offenders. Nowhere else have I heard the phrase 'to graft' to mean 'on the rob' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonTastic Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Surely it wouldn't cost the club that much money to send security round to each of the players houses while they are away playing for the club ? <oops should read other posts first before making these posts lol> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Merseyside Police Burglar Prevention advice: - Following some simple advice could prevent you becoming the victim of burglary: * Don't leave windows open or doors unlocked, even if you are in the garden or near your house. A thief can get through the smallest window and might often try to open a door if there seems to be no-one around. * Don't leave car or house keys within sight of the letterbox or a window. * Secure your shed and garage properly. Don't leave tools lying around. * Security mark all your home and garden equipment with full postcode using a UV marker pen or permanent marker. * Don't qualify for European competitions if you are a Liverpool AFC player.
