Professional athletes’ homes are increasingly becoming targets for burglaries, with the latest incident involving Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin. His home in Sewickley, a Pittsburgh suburb, was broken into on Saturday, the same day the Penguins played the Ottawa Senators. The burglary occurred while Malkin was sidelined with an upper-body injury. His three Stanley Cup rings were among the items stolen. The FBI has noted that crime organizations are targeting athletes’ residences, believing they contain high-value items like jewelry and cash. This trend has affected multiple sports, with NFL, NBA, and NHL players falling victim. The FBI and sports leagues have issued security alerts to players, highlighting the organized nature of these crimes. The Penguins confirmed the incident and are cooperating with local authorities and team security.
