  The homes of a handful of N.B.A. and N.F.L. players in the Midwest have been burglarized since September. The F.B.I. believes "South American Theft Groups" could be responsible, according to one memo.


The article from The New York Times discusses a series of burglaries targeting the homes of professional athletes, revealing a sophisticated crime ring that has been exploiting the schedules and social media posts of athletes to plan their heists. These burglars, often operating in coordinated groups, have hit the residences of NBA, NFL, and MLB players, stealing millions in cash, jewelry, and other valuables. The crimes have not only led to significant financial losses but also to a sense of vulnerability among athletes, prompting some to enhance their home security measures. Law enforcement agencies across multiple states are collaborating to dismantle this crime ring, with some arrests made, but the scale of the operation suggests that many perpetrators are still at large. The article highlights the intersection of celebrity, wealth, and crime, illustrating how public figures' lives are scrutinized for criminal opportunities.
