Burglars who recently targeted famous athletes like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Joe Burrow bounced from city to city using cars they'd rented with fake IDs. They ditched the cars as needed, along with the burner phones they used to coordinate with each other.
They'd hide in woods while monitoring the patterns of security guards, then break into the homes of wealthy athletes by breaking small windows or prying open sliding doors before converting jewel-encrusted watches, designer bags, gold chains and rings into cash, using loot launderers far from their victims.
Their booty had an estimated value of about $3 million, taken from some of America's best-known athletes.
