Simone Biles’ home broken into, Porsche stolen
Seven-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles has revealed that her home in Chicago was broken into by three masked men, who stole her luxurious Porsche, reports BritPanorama.
The incident appears to have taken place recently, although the exact timing remains unclear and it is not known if police have made any arrests. Biles, who shares the property with her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, has confirmed that the stolen car has since been recovered.
Biles detailed the experience on social media, stating, “I feel like I need a new car because during our last few months in Chicago, three men in masks came to our house and stole my Porsche.” She added, “Stole the GTS. But that’s another story. If you guys want to know, I’ll do a story time on that.”
This break-in highlights a worrying trend, as multiple athletes have experienced similar incidents recently. Former Manchester City defender Ruben Dias also faced a burglary earlier this year while at home, and former England footballer Raheem Sterling has dealt with multiple break-ins, leading to considerable concern about security for high-profile individuals.
The rise in such events has prompted discussions about the safety of public figures and the effectiveness of security measures. In light of Biles’ situation, it raises questions about the broader implications for the safety of sports stars and their families in increasingly challenging environments.
In the world of sports, where personal and professional lives often intertwine, stories like Biles’ serve as a stark reminder that even the highest achievers are not immune to crime, drawing attention to the vulnerabilities that come with fame.
