I see some people on the internet have used this burglary as another stick to beat our city with. No surprise, of course.
Thing is, this is far from a local issue. Just a quick Google came up with a PSG player being robbed in Paris and an Espanyol player being robbed in Barcelona. I know this has happened in Madrid and Rome amongst other places too. Wherever you get mega rich players you will find scumbags looking to gain off them in this way. Players of London clubs have the very same issues, as have Manc players. Basically, there are lowlife shitbags everywhere, unfortunately.
