Story summary

Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles reported that three masked men burglarized her home in the Chicago area and stole her luxury Porsche GTS. The incident occurred during her final months living in Chicago, prompting her and her husband, Jonathan Owens, a safety for the Indianapolis Colts, to acquire a new car and a security dog. Biles disclosed this on TikTok, expressing that she feels like her life is fit for reality TV due to such unusual events. Though her stolen vehicle was later recovered, they decided to purchase a new one after experiencing issues with the old car. The frequency of high-profile athletes facing similar incidents has been noted recently, including robberies of NBA players Karl-Anthony Towns and Sabrina Ionescu in 2025. Chicago police could not provide an incident report to NBC News regarding Biles' case.
