Dak Prescott's Fiancee Robbed Of $50,000 In Luxury Goods

Dak Prescott's fiancee, Sarah Jane Ramos, is the latest victim in a string of robberies and burglaries that have been hitting professional athletes and their families.
Ramos, who is currently pregnant with Prescott's second child, was robbed of nearly $50,000 in luxury goods over the weekend. She was reportedly robbed one day before the home of Dallas Mavericks superstar guard Luka Doncic was broken into. There's been a string of burglaries impacting professional athletes and their families, as Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes were hit earlier in the regular season.
Thankfully, it was just Ramos's car that was broken into, but it's still scary to think about.
The items that were stolen from Ramos include "designer handbags and wallets, as well as computer software and cash," according to theDallas Morning News.
According to a report, the fiancee of the Dallas Cowboys quarterback was in a rush. She apparently forgot to lock the door to her car as she went into a workout class while it was raining.
The FBI has been looking into the "crime syndicate" that could be behind the string of robberies. They reportedly believe it comes from South America.
The New York Times had more:
The F.B.I. would not confirm or deny that an investigation was taking place. But in a memo last month, the N.B.A. said that the F.B.I. had briefed its security team and that it had "connected many of the home burglaries to transnational South American Theft Groups" or S.A.T.G.s. The F.B.I. described these as "well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices," according to the N.B.A. memo, which was obtained by The New York Times.
These transnational groups go after cash and "items that can be resold on the black market, such as jewelry, watches, and luxury bags," according to the memo.
Athletes and their friends and family members have been told to stay off of social media, at least when it comes to live posting. The criminals are believed to use social media to track when homes and cars are empty.
Of course, if you leave the doors unlocked, there's not much you can do. But it's still something to be vigilant about moving forward.
