Those whove had their homes burglarized include players in the NBA (Mike Conley Jr., Karl-Anthony Towns, Luka Doncic and Bobby Portis), NFL (Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Joe Burrow and Linval Joseph) and NHL (Tyler Seguin and Evgeni Malkin).

Unfortunately, these athletes and their private homes, theyre targeted for going out there and doing their jobs, said River Hills (Wis.) police chief Michael Gaynor, who was involved with the handling of Portis burglary case.

We all know when they go to work, and we know their schedules and where theyre gonna be.
