Biles Says Masked Men Stole Porsche From Home

Chicago police told NBC News it could not provide an incident report related to the alleged break-in.
Jonathan Owens played safety for the Chicago Bears during the 2024 and 2025 seasons before signing with the Indianapolis Colts as an unrestricted free agent on March 17; he had appeared in two games for Indianapolis this season.
Owens previously described an attempted robbery while he was in Milan for the Winter Olympics, saying someone tried to snatch his shopping bag but fled after he kept it tied around his hand.
The report placed Biles’ disclosure within a broader pattern of break-ins involving high-profile athletes, including Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Sabrina Ionescu, Karl-Anthony Towns and Shedeur Sanders.
Biles said the car was recovered, but she and Owens still decided to replace it after she tested the new vehicle: “When they turned that thing on, I was sold.”
Simone Biles revealed that three masked men broke into her Chicago-area home and stole her Porsche GTS during her final months in the city. NBC News reported that the car was eventually recovered, but Biles decided to buy a new vehicle anyway. The gymnast did not disclose when the break-in occurred, but said the experience was significant enough that she and husband Jonathan Owens got a Doberman for protection.
Biles joked that the unusual events in her life could fill a reality television show. Despite police involvement, Chicago police told NBC News they could not provide an incident report related to the alleged break-in. The theft is part of a broader wave of burglaries targeting high-profile athletes in recent months.
Even though authorities recovered Biles' stolen Porsche GTS, she was not interested in keeping it. When she test-drove a new vehicle, she said: "When they turned that thing on, I was sold." The decision to replace the car showed that Biles wanted a fresh start after the break-in. She did not specify which model she was purchasing to replace the stolen vehicle.
This break-in is not Biles' first brush with theft. Her husband, Jonathan Owels, previously described an attempted robbery while he was in Milan for the Winter Olympics. Someone tried to snatch his shopping bag, but Owels kept it tied around his hand and the thief fled. The incident shows a pattern of security challenges affecting the couple during their travels.
Owels played safety for the Chicago Bears during the 2024 and 2025 seasons before signing with the Indianapolis Colts as an unrestricted free agent on March 17. He had appeared in two games for Indianapolis this season. The move away from Chicago may have reduced the couple's exposure to future security risks in the area.
The Biles home invasion is part of a larger trend affecting high-profile athletes. Archynetys reported that burglaries have struck Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Sabrina Ionescu, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Shedeur Sanders in recent months. Police departments across multiple cities are investigating organized theft rings targeting athletes' homes while they travel for games and competitions.
