Tamara Ecclestone: '£50m worth' of jewellery stolen from heiress

[Chippy_Tea]

My heart bleeds, we have families queuing up at food banks and having to decide between food or heat and on the other end of the scale we have people stashing £50m of bling in a safe, i am sure they will be insured.




Thieves have reportedly stolen £50m worth of jewellery from the Kensington home of Tamara Ecclestone.

The daughter of ex Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone was left "shaken and angry" after the burglary on Friday.

According to The Sun, rings, earrings and a Cartier bangle worth £80,000, which was given to the heiress as a wedding present, were all taken in the raid.

The Met said no arrests had been made and it was looking for three men.

Sounds like an insurance job ? As long as she met the criteria!

 

[Rodcx500z]

anyone leaving that amount in the house in a safe or not has a screw or 2 loose, I think the insurance will question this

 

[Winterbournebrewery]

Doesn’t have to be in a safe as long as you have up to date valuations

And aren't sitting on the bog while leaving your door unlocked...

I can totally understand her loss, wife once lost a ring, turned up on the sink where she left it, phew real world problems hey!

It's one of Britain's most secure streets in one of the most secure houses, I would store my belongings there rather than trust banks etc.

Why are stone, minerals and metal worth £80 million. It's not like you can eat or drink them or live in them. Who cares. Meh!

Would I swap my dogs for them jewels.....NO!

Exactly. Some people have so much money they simply dont know what to do with it. So they buy crap lik 80 million quids worth of rocks and metal

There are plenty of studies to show that money doesnt make you happy. There was a story in the sunday papers about some rich bloke who commited suicide on his estate with a shot gun. Think I'd rather be happy in my small flat in the Hamlet than considering topping myself on a massive estate

Yes to all that MyQul, it's a sad fact that most lottery winners are bankrupt and divorced within 5 years. Or so I heard on Radio4, so it must be true, although I also heard that the election was going to be very close...
Mind you, I wouldn't mind the odd 10 million in the bank, but I'd still be re-using my bottle caps. Can't teach an old dog new tricks.

As Spike Milligan said, "Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery."

The lottery is a complete waste of money. Fools gold. I recently read that if you'd done every lottery since it started you'd have won about 3 grand and spent about 8 grand. Not that I do the lottery but the only reason I'd like to win is so I didn't have to work. Not so I just buy stuff (Mind you, I would have a VERY shiny new brewing system, and employ flunkies to polish it every day )

I'd quite like to win the lottery but it's not likely to happen as I never play it. Was put off such things after years of watching my dad filling out and checking his football coupons every week. Can't remember him ever winning anything. All that stuff is just a tax on the poor.

I always find it odd that the queue at the lottery concession in ASDA is bigger whenever the jackpot is bigger. As if having 25 million is going to make more of a difference than 2 million to someone with no money
