The scale of the theft initially sparked fears of a logistical nightmare, with match boots belonging to superstars Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham reportedly among the items missing. However, as per BBCcourt documents have since clarified the full inventory of the $18,000 (£13,500) haul. The list included three signed jerseys valued at $5,000 each, four pairs of boots, five pairs of shoes, a World Cup ball, and various pieces of training kit, ranging from goalie gloves to naval-coloured shirts and shorts.
In a bizarre twist, the thieves also made off with two stuffed lions – the squad’s traditional mascots – along with a Lego set of a Nike Air shoe and a JBL speaker. Fortunately, it is understood that the majority of the stolen goods have now been recovered and returned to the team’s base at Swope Soccer Village.
