Zero sympathy for people who had £10 million worth of jewellery stolen

[TwoCreamEggs]

People are struggling to heat their homes, feed their kids and pay their rent - whilst this 'millionaire influencer' has £10 million worth of jewellery stashed in a safe at home - I find this morally abhorrent and have zero sympathy. They have so little insight and social conscience that they feel it appropriate to flash jewellery and other signs of huge wealth all over social media. I'm glad no-one was injured obviously but hope the stolen jewellery is used to re-distribute some of their enormous wealth.

10: million in trinkets is an obscene amount of money but someone's home has been violated and that I can have sympathy for.
I wonder if the thief realised exactly what he was nicking because he could become a target of his newly acquired wealth.

Jeez - you have issues. So what if she's rich. It's still pretty shit to have your personal space violated by some scumbag.

I couldn't give a shit if she's got a gazillion £££ worth of jewellery and I don't follow so called influencers, I just think theft is rank.

Never mind the jewellery, Hermes handbags were stolen too. I’d be raging. The waiting times to get invited to buy a Hermes are lengthy. They’ll be hard to replace.

That's a slippery slope OP. Have you got a car? Or a wedding ring? Shall we 'redistribute' those?

No? Thought not.

I don’t know who this is, or who has £10m worth of jewellery.

However, OP, yab vvvvv u

assuming that this person’s activities are all legal and the money was legally theirs to spend how they wished/gifts were all legal etc, then this person is 100% entitled to own the jewellery that they want to own. and do with it whatever they wish. Including parading it on social media (which, obviously is not sensible, but it is their right).

where are you going to draw the line, if you think that stealing from “rich” people is ok You certainly seem to think that stealing 10m jewellery is ok. Would it be ok to wander into a fancy restaurant and take a £10k Rolex off someone’s wrist and give it to a homeless person outside? Would it be ok to open the lunch bags of 2 kids in a school and give Peter some of Paul’s, if Paul has more?

we are in a society and we have to respect our laws and rules. You seem to have mistaken yourself for someone who is in charge of the rules OP - you aren’t. You need to abide by the laws like the rest of us.

it’s absolutely not ok to break into someone’s house and take jewellery or anything for that matter.

I think if their security isn’t up to much then they probably deserve it even though burglary is never nice. It’ll be covered by insurance. Did the influencer advertise that she had that amount of jewellery and at home?

A bike is an essential item. How else would I get to work?

One person's wealth doesn't cause someone else to be poor. That's just the nasty spite that seems to underpin a lot of socialist thinking.

Selective compassion is no compassion at all.

Maybe they donated huge amounts to charity as well as buying themselves expensive jewellery.
As long as they have earned their money honestly...who cares?

I am as poor as a church mouse, however if they have worked hard for their money you can't begrudge what they buy it's their money.

They usually do, take Mr Beast for instance the amount he gives to charity is phenomenal.

Deserve it?
fuckign hell. I was burgled as a kid. A drug addict broke into my bedroom, trampled some of my stuff and got 5 quid in change that I had been collecting. I never slept another peaceful night in that house, for the rest of my childhood. Every fucking night I was afraid.

nobody deserves a burglary. Jesus fucking Christ. You monster.

The footballers are paid by the FA

I don’t care how wealthy someone is, nobody deserves to go through the trauma of a break in. It’s not the value of items stolen that’s hits you hard, it’s the invasion and the loss of security within your home.
I was broken into years ago, and I’ve never felt truly safe at home since, it also triggered permanent OCD in door and window locking and checking. Mentally, it hits you very hard, and the wealthy do not deserve to go through that anymore than the poor do.
Your post is callous, cold and cruel.

Seeing photos of some of the jewellery stolen I would prefer the £10m!

Absolutely horrible post.

No, they do not deserve to be robbed of their possessions.

Aren't they paid by their clubs?

People can feel whatever sympathy or lack of it they want. You'd have to be pots for fucking rags to think this is getting redistributed to the poor, however.

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain
So if a person doesn't adequately protect themselves they deserve to be the victim of a crime?
My 85 year old neighbour was burgled after leaving his patio door unlocked over night. Did he deserve it?

Whilst I appreciate the sentiment that it’s pretty rare to acquire such a fortune without some nefarious actions the thieves won’t be redistributing it to the poor. These pieces will be highly recognisable & it will have been a professional job.

Do I deserve sympathy because although I’m not rich I’m richer than some?

Wow. God forbid you ever get burgled, but if you ever do, I hope you’ll think back to your post and remember that you now apparently have no right to tell any of your friends, neighbours or family how upset you are, just in case it upsets a homeless person who may have had all of their worldly possessions stolen or destroyed. After all, you wouldn’t want to demonstrate a lack of awareness of how lucky you are to be able to replace everything via your home insurance.

I’ve now changed into my stripy jumper and have got my swag bag ready to come and burgle those of you who think it’s ok for someone to lose their stuff if they’ve got more than someone else, but strangely enough, none of you have sent me your addresses. If you could get right on that, it would be lovely. I promise to share it out with my equally as skint neighbours. I’ll even put a feather in my hat, a la Robin Hood, if it makes you happy?

Me: “the world is an insanely greedy and blessed place”
Also me, while viewing photographs of the stolen jewels: “oh wow that is a beautiful necklace, stunning”.

I am surprised that a home in London containing this many valuables (this was probably all that the one burglar could carry) was left with nobody in it. The owners should have a responsibility to secure and man their property rather than relying on insurance and the police.

I wonder how many jewels in London are left in “vacant” homes this time of year, and generally.

I don’t feel any sympathy at all, not even their home being violated - give me a break - they probably have ten homes to console themselves in. Of all the people to be robbed over Christmas, I’m glad it was some billionaires with crocodile Hermes’ bags and diamond bracelets spelling out their name in large letters.

Maybe the money isn’t going back to the poor, but for once it’s not being made on the back of the poor. That’s good enough for me.

Hope the Royal Family jewels are safe. How did they get them again?

Haha. I’ve been burgled several times as have often lived in sketchy areas. It’s horrid and violating. I said she has every right to be upset - but participating in a documentary where you wallow in self pity about your lost million-pound diamond haul is a little tone deaf given how many people in this country have nothing and struggle month to month. Yes cry all you want to friends and family - making a BBC television programme in the expectation of public sympathy is crass imo. It’s like me as a manager on 70k complaining to the cleaner on minimum wage that prices have gone up at Tesco and I can only afford champagne on special occasions. Pass the violin.

It is absolutely disgusting that anyone has 10m worth of jewellery. Vile - and they are shocked they are targeted?! Maybe there would be less crime if the world wasn’t so disgustingly uneven
