  • theImmodiumGuy, on 10/15/2008, -3/+77I thought the only things Beckham would miss are penalty kicks.
  • thegamingguy, on 10/14/2008, -2/+53It is scary to think that people you trust for years could be stealing out from under you... I am sure that there is far more missing than they know about.
  • MacBookForMe, on 10/14/2008, -2/+24I watched their house...sorry, palace on national TV today...and I could admit, that it is scary being so rich that you cannot even control your own possessions and staff...(well, that's just one of the reasons why i am poor:)
  • BeShirtHappy, on 10/14/2008, -3/+25Same theory applies when you are cleaning out closets - if you haven't used it or worn it in 2 years (or is that one year?) you don't need it. Still though to have someone go through your things and take stuff without your knowledge and profit from it is wrong.

    Dear Beckham,
    your stolen ***** goes great with my living room.
    Thanks!

  • hamobu, on 10/15/2008, -0/+12Were all their personal sex tapes accounted for?
  • goodbick, on 10/15/2008, -0/+11Im a house renovator, so a good deal of my work day is spent alone in rich peoples houses. I have never taken a single cent from one of the properties, but one of my biggest feasr is being accused of theft if something goes missing.

  • SGIsus, on 10/15/2008, -1/+12This was on the front page of The Sun (most popular british newspaper) the other day...
    A story about how FTSE finally made an increase of 8% was on page 4 (far more important)...
    I don't give a ***** about the Beckham's stuff being nicked, they could probably buy back what got stolen ten times over. I would read celebrity gossip magazines if I did care.
    Get this ***** unimportant story off the front page!! (of the newspapers, I can deal with it being on digg's front page)
  • spoofer56, on 10/15/2008, -0/+10Almost as dumb as the people who robbed their next door neighbors and tried selling of the stuff in a garage sale the next day.
  • orlyfactor, on 10/15/2008, -0/+10Nothing personal...just business.
  • redux2redux, on 10/15/2008, -0/+10If the housekeepers get fired, they can get a job with TSA in Newark...
  • coldkill3r, on 10/15/2008, -2/+11Damn, you thnk you know someone for ten years and then they backstab you like that...

  • baldycraig, on 10/15/2008, -1/+8Wait... I thought he was supposed to murder people before his memorabilia gets stolen.
  • Coreyinprogress, on 10/15/2008, -2/+8I'm suprised they noticed....
  • Calcularius, on 10/15/2008, -1/+7That doesn't happen when you're not a douchebag.
  • CertifiedBaller, on 10/15/2008, -0/+6I'm just thinking it would be nice to have "servants"
  • Barackalypse, on 10/15/2008, -1/+7When did Welt.de suddenly become spammed onto the Digg front page? I'd never heard of it before, and then suddenly a month or two ago I started seeing it appearing on the front page frequently. Regardless what the powers that be say, Digg is manipulated on a daily basis, its obvious based on the type of stories or the source of the stories.
  • sgvprelude, on 10/15/2008, -0/+5Should of sold it on craigslist

  • macinit1138, on 10/15/2008, -0/+3Let them go to court like everyone else--they can afford it. Why the hell do we have to hear about this trivial news?
  • vinigrette, on 10/15/2008, -0/+3Finally, some relevant news... you know, in case you don't care about the economy or the election. ;)

  • inactive, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2 cool
  • Mujokan, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2I read in an interview that Beckham wears a brand new pair of running shoes every day. I think he may have a touch of OCD.
  • tinak24, on 10/18/2008, -0/+2don't leave your things unattented. if its that important to you, keep it out of sight.

    Hard to trust anyone.
  • Kenzan, on 10/15/2008, -1/+3You did have a Mother right?

    Well then.
  • insomniac8400, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2John McCain doesn't have to think. They cost him 250k a year.
  • ohcoaster, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2i'm sure if the house-staff had simply asked if they could sell a few specific items for them, the beckham's would have been cool with it, possibly splitting the profits. they might have even just given the items/useless crap/why-the-*****-are-you-keeping-this-***** to them.
  • inactive, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2I bet the slaves started out with good intentions but the whore of a wife with her ***** attitude drove em to stealing.
  • enantiodromia, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2Man Panties for Wiggers?
