Banking heiress Kate Rothschild's home raided for £500k in jewels as her children slept upstairs
Evening Standard UK ^ | 26 April 2018 | Justin davenport

Raiders broke into the home of banking heiress Kate Rothschild escaping with up to £500,000 worth of jewels and valuables as her children slept upstairs.

The burglars scaled a rear wall to enter her bedroom at her new home in Barnes, fleeing with a large jewellery box containing all her valuables, including an antique diamond dragonfly brooch and wedding and engagement rings.

Ms Rothschild, 35, pictured, returned home with her boyfriend, entrepreneur Paul Forkan, after a night out and only realised something was wrong when she could not get into her bedroom. Mr Forkan climbed through an open bedroom window and found the room had been locked by the intruders from the inside. There was little sign of a break-in but a search revealed a pink jewellery box gone.

The Thomas Goode box is said by friends to have contained “everything precious” to Ms Rothschild, including wedding and engagement rings from her former marriage to financier and environmentalist Ben Goldsmith.

...

Mr Goldsmith, 37 — younger brother of Tory MP Zac and son of billionaire Sir James — told the Standard: “They took every single thing of value Kate has, her wedding ring, engagement ring, everything I gave her during our marriage, special things from when she was a teenager, things from her father and her grandmother.

Those guys completely miss the fact that 75% of (((them))) are not fantastically wealthy and in control of media, education, and government.

I think he is inferring that he des not believe this was an actual robbery. Perhaps she stole them herself or someone she owed a lot of money to “balanced the books”.

There is an ‘at-home’ setting that allows people to move around in the house without setting off the alarm. The alarm will still activate if anyone opens a door or breaks a window.

We turn ours on at night when sleeping. If a door or window opens it goes off. There’s a delay on most of them so even if Mz Rothschild had come home and opened the door, she could punch in the code before it went off. Most of them have key fobs now. We can turn ours off before we ever open the door.

“She had no economic message, no political skill, charisma, and did not campaign aggressively enough in the Rust Belt. “

and yet, sadly enough, anyone who closely followed the primaries knows damn good and well that any of the thirteen dwarfs that Trump defeated in the GOP primaries would’ve gotten beat like a drum by Hillary in the general election.

None of them stood for much of anything specific, they all were establishment politicians, all were pro-illegal-immigration to one degree or another, most were fake conservatives despite claiming otherwise, they ALL would have completely cringed before the onslaught of the world’s leftist fake stream media, constantly apologizing for every word they uttered, and none had the gravitas or charisma to put a fire in the belly of the voters.

Donald J. Trump saved this country! (at least for a while ...)

Ring.com cameras are around $200 a piece. Probably the cost of their evening appetizer.

Careful. Lots of crooks have gadgets that can unlock car systems.
Little or no difference in your home system.

Maybe certain protections are being taken away from these sorts of people.

They probably just shrug and say “it’s insured”.

You are absolutely right. But when it comes to the Rothschilds there are the facts and the mythos. From what I have seen, the mythos prevails all too often.

Perhaps it has something to do with President Trump’s EO to confiscate assets.

Not having them cost them an amount that most likely far exceeds 20 of those cameras. 8>)

You keep the control panel for the alarm in your bedroom. You am the alarm just before you go to bed, and disarm it when you get up. You also lock pets up at night so they won't set off the motion detector. A bit tedious, but much better than waking up to find an intruder in your bedroom.
