The former Arsenal striker was beaten with iron bars and robbed in front of his wife of ten years, Alysha Benhague, during a violent raid. The incident took place on the early hours of Monday (29.08.22) in his house in Barcelona, Spain. Several masked men climbed into his garden complex Castelldefels where they threatened him with fire arms in front of his terrified children before gaining access to his safe and making off with family jewels.
The former Manchester United midfielder - who is now back at Juventus - claimed he has been a target of extortion and threats from an organised gang after his brother promised to reveal explosive claims about him. In a statement issued by his lawyers, Pogba revealed to French authorities about an alleged plot to blackmail him, which was orchestrated by his older brother Mathias and childhood friends. Pogba claims he was dragged by men with assault rifles into his Parisian home earlier in March, where he reportedly paid €98.955 to his extortionists who demanded €13million.
The Polish striker had his €75,000 watch stolen on arrival at Barcelona training earlier in August. Lewandowski stopped off to sign autographs when two men took the opportunity to open the passenger door to steak his watch. The Polish international legged it after the men who were apprehended by local police. The watch was later found behind a tree.
The Aston Villa manager and former Liverpool player had his home broken into during a violent raid back in 2007. At the time Gerrard was away leading Liverpool to victory in a Champions league game while his wife Alex and two children were confronted with a gang of masked intruders. Alex was forced to hand over a silver Rolex watch and dragged downstairs by a burglar who threatened to abduct her children.
The retired England captain was left devastated after burglars stole his precious medals and mementos during a raid at his parents home back in 2006. A family friend said: "Wayne is obviously gutted as are his parents. It's heartbreaking for the Rooneys to have had his collection pinched. "It's horrible to feel someone's been in your home, particularly when you lose things which are so important to you. Wayne wants everyone to know he's really upset and anyone who knows who did this should contact the police."
David Beckham and his wife Victoria were left shaken up after masked robber broke into their West London mansion whilst they slept earlier in March. Their 17-year-old son Cruz had discovered his family home in Holland Park had been broken into when he returned with friends from a night out. After noticing the spare bedroom has been ransacked and saw broken glass on the floor he called the police. The burglar managed to make off with thousands of pounds worth of designer gear and electric goods.
Earlier in January, the Real Madrid and France striker had his house burgled whilst leading the frontline against Elche at the Santiago Bernabeu. Luckily, the residence was empty when the break in occurred. This is not the first time Benzema’s home was broken into during a match as back in February 2019, his house was burgled as Real lost 3-0 to Barcelona during the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg clash.
The Bayern Munich player was robbed for the second time in February 2022 whilst playing his former team Liverpool. The assailants forced their way into the property between 6pm and 11.45pm and made off with a bunch of electrical goods including mobiles and watches as well as car keys. Mane’s home was previously broken into back in November 2017 whilst he was at Anfield taking part in the Champions League game against Maribor.
A gang of burglars were jailed back in 2016 for breaking into the Belgian star’s home. The former Premier League star - who has played for West Bromich Albion, Everton, Manchester United and Chelsea in England and is now on the pitch for Italian side Inter Milan - was away playing the Euro 2016 qualifier at the time of the robbery. Thieves unsuccessfully tried to rip out a projector from the wall of his football cinema room located at his home in Wilmslow, Cheshire. Instead they got away with a television, two game consoles and Lukaku's sports car.
Ronaldo, who was signed with Juventus at the time, had his home raided as he played for Portugal. The perpetrator, who was identified thanks to CCTV, is said to have known Ronaldo and snuck into the house after staff left open a garage door. He made off with a signed Juventus shirt.

When you hear a news story about a woman who enjoys collecting shoes, the shoes are always of the dress-up variety. To each her own, but those kinds of fancy, high-heeled shoes are not my cup of tea. Nope, if I could live the rest of my life wearing only sandals, sneakers, and hiking boots, I would be one happy camper! Read more
It’s August and school is about to begin. Former students of mine now have their own kids and grandkids riding those clunky yellow buses. When I first got on Facebook, their familiar names began popping up, and many—with some trepidation—asked, “You aren’t going to correct my spelling or grammar, are you?” Read more
The excesses of August can be summed up on one day, the 8th being the day to, ‘sneak some zucchini onto your neighbor’s porch’. Even as we lose 2 minutes of daylight every day of the month, the heat continues to build, gardens overproduce, both vegetables and weeds, and after four months of direct solar heating, the northern oceans begin to share their excess heat with the atmosphere, spinning the evaporated water into monster storms we call hurricanes. Summer may be fading but it’s not going quietly. Read more
Dear readers, as I settle in to write this column, it’s a rainy Sunday afternoon. Rainy days have a certain appeal to them, don’t they? I often feel a good book calling my name, along with a nice cup of tea (Earl Grey, hot, for my fellow Star Trek fans). Sometimes after reading for awhile, my eyelids become heavy. That’s another awesome way to spend a rainy afternoon - taking a nice nap. Read more
When I was six years old and my sisters were four, we often stayed with my grandparents in the summer. They lived in rural southern Illinois, the year was 1970, and we girls loved visiting them. Anyway, my grandfather needed to take a few things to the local refuse collection site, aka “the dump”, as it was commonly referred to back in those days. He loaded the items in the car, along with three very energetic little girls. No car seats or seat belts - back then kiddos just ping-ponged around in the vehicle. And off we went to the dump, on the south end of town. Read more

The Commission on Aging is highlighting the many valuable local services available to older citizens. Very few seniors in Louisa County are familiar with the Southeast Rural Community Assistance Project, Inc. (SERCAP) which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on improving the quality of life for low-to-moderate income individuals and seniors living in the Southeast United States. Although SERCAP is located in Roanoke, Virginia, it serves Louisa County. SERCAP counsels individuals and/or groups on renting, foreclosure prevention, building or improving your credit, budgeting, identity theft prevention, and home maintenance education. Read more
I am writing this month’s letter about birthdays. This may make you think that July is my birth month, and that may be true. However, I know at least one friend who put an erroneous birthdate into his Facebook profile to mislead anyone trying to mine his account for hackable data, and maybe I am doing the same with this column. I don’t think of this mild deceit as actual lying, but more akin to putting doggie poo in a nice box and leaving it on the seat of an unlocked car. If a hacker or thief thinks he is taking something of value, let him learn about karma. Read more

We report these findings to the Louisa County Board of Supervisors to help them make decisions that enhance the lives of seniors. We meet at 10 a.m. the first Wednesday of each month at the Betty J.

Here it is, May at last, and the time the poet says is for flowers. We have flowers aplenty and they are lovely, and maybe worth enduring that miserable winter, but we also have unending pollen and itchy eyes, and grass to cut, and a host of unpleasant things that make me ask if flowery Maytime is worth it.
