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.

I assumed when I saw it was a late night invasion by raiders who confiscated everything that it must have been Mueller. Is anyone really sure it wasn’t him? He can’t prove it’s not true, and that’s the new standard right?

I recently had an alarm repair guy come out to replace the emergency battery. He told me they have motion detectors now that account for pets up to about 80 lbs. I think I am going to switch out our old motion detector which would be set off by a mouse. It would be nice to be able to use it at night.

Ours is an old school alarm system with all the contact points on windows and doors, etc.

Exactly. Some stirrings certainly happening with that clan.

Has she lost control of the weather? A little snow storm might have prevented it:

DC council member who claimed Rothschilds control the weather also said they control the federal government
