The Beckham’s Get Robbed!
Friday, October 17th, 2008PacificCoastNews.com
David and Victoria Beckham are seen here looking stunning as ever as they preview their new fragrances ‘Signature’ for him and her at Macy’s in New York. Victoria is setting trends as per her usual self in gravity defying heel-less PVC boots, but she seems to manage it with the aplomb and grace that is Posh when it comes to style. And although this snappily dressed couple may look like they’ve got it all together right now, from the sounds of it, they are pretty shaken up after they were recent victims of a robbery involving items from their home. But fret not, we are not talking about masked invasions and pretty people held at gunpoint. No, the Beckhams were robbed by their own housekeepers, housekeepers who apparently have rocks for brains. Just recently, Victoria’s parents, Tony and Jackie Adams, noticed some odd listings on eBay that were being sold as authentic Beckham pieces. Items included the likes of soccer shoes worn by David, and some of Posh’s designer labels. And obviously, the couple has enough to spare if they didn’t even notice them missing, but that’s not quite the point now, is it. When David and Victoria saw the items on eBay, they realized the pieces weren’t being sold AS authentic Beckham items, but in fact, WERE authentic Beckham items and had been taken from their home in Essex. After they had their home investigated to locate the items that belonged to them, they realized that in fact, the items being sold were missing from the Essex home. And that’s when the police became involved. Initially, the seller claimed that she was a relative of a staff member where David’s soccer academy is conducted, and that the items had gone to sale due to financial issues. It later came out though that the seller was a Beckham’s housekeeper and both she June Emmet, and her spouse Eric, were arrested on suspicion of theft. Unfortunately, this couple had been in the employ of the Beckham’s for more than ten years and so it is not so much the issue of the missing items that has upset the Beckham’s, but that they have been betrayed by people they trusted for over a decade. David and Victoria have flown back to the UK to deal with the matter in person, but even still, June insists that she and her husband are innocent. She says
I totally deny the allegations. This has all come as a bolt from the blue. The whole thing has taken us by surprise.
But at least, the good people at eBay keep a paper trail of just about everything, and so this should be an easy case to solve. Not so easy for the Beckham’s to build trust back, but I am sure this is a lesson learned for them.
