A growing trend of robbing athletes when you know they'll be out of town.

Other articles say this is a professional and organized group from South America.

Honestly, it feels like they'd be super easy to catch. It just would require cooperation among different agencies and home security services.

A lot of half-ass thieves (and law enforcement) will roll up to your joint with wifi-jammers, they're pretty easy to get. This wipes out most Ring doorbells and cheap security cameras. But if you're making upper-middle-class+ sports money, you have wired shit that instantly saves to the cloud through your wired connection, as well as wired security on doors and windows. Most of the sports ballers will be young and inexperienced, it's their managers failing them, here.

All true, but I'm not talking about unmonitored stuff.

Like you point out, the rich should have this stuff.

Literal months after this trend began, the FBI is warning professional leagues about it.

You know, the leagues who had already warned their players weeks ago.
