Jimbo 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 Liverpool spot kick hero burgled Liverpool FC's heroic goalkeeper Pepe Reina was burgled on Tuesday night as he was helping send the club through to the Champions League final. The 24-year-old Spaniard saved two out of three spot kicks in a penalty shoot-out against Chelsea at Anfield. But he returned from celebrating the win in the early hours of Wednesday to find his home in Woolton, Liverpool, had been ransacked. A number of high value items and the player's Porsche Cayenne were taken. The grey-coloured car - which has Spanish number plates - was found burnt out in Fleetwood Walk at 0630 BST. Merseyside Police said the burglary happened sometime between 1900 BST on Tuesday and 0045 BST on Wednesday. Officers were called to the address at 0145 BST after Reina discovered the break-in. The goalkeeper, who joined Liverpool in the summer 2005, does not want to comment on the incident. As well as the car, officers said paperwork, jewellery, and a Bang and Olufsen entertainment system was taken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimbo 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 Anyone else suspect bitter blue-nosed fans from across Stanley Park?? TBH its much safer to burgle Liverpool players, they have learnt the hard way, imagine being chased off the premises by a naked Duncan Ferguson Wielding a sandwedge.

ewerk 1,322 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 Footballers are obvious targets as they're going to have expensive stuff lying around and the burglars know when they're not going to be home. Though not as clever as a burglary here in N. Ireland recently. The burglars created a bomb hoax so all houses in the area were evacuated for 5 hours, meanwhile the burglars ran from house to house unimpeded, quite ingenious really.

Jusoda Kid 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 The club probably employs a full time burglar to rob their houses in order to keep the wage bill down, basically an ongoing insurance scam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
