Simone Biles’ Chicago Home Burglary and Porsche Theft
By Drooid · · How we work
Core Event: Theft of a Porsche GTS
Olympic gymnast Simone Biles disclosed that three masked men broke into the Chicago-area residence she shares with NFL safety Jonathan Owens and stole her Porsche GTS. Biles said the vehicle was later recovered, but she is planning to replace it.
Background & Context
The incident occurred during the couple’s final months living in Chicago while Owens was a safety for the Chicago Bears. Biles and Owens have since relocated to Texas after Owens signed with the Indianapolis Colts. The burglary joins a recent spate of high-profile athlete home robberies, including Kansas City Chiefs players Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce (October 2024) and basketball players Sabrina Ionescu and Karl-Anthony Towns (2025).
Timeline
- September 21 (occurred): Biles posted a “get ready with me” TikTok in which she explained why she needed a new car, describing the break-in and theft.
Data & Statistics
- Perpetrators: three masked men (as described by Biles).
- Vehicle: Porsche GTS, valued at roughly $200,000.
- Security response: the couple added a Doberman guard dog after the incident.
Official Statements & Responses
Biles narrated the event in her TikTok video, stating that the theft happened “during our last few months in Chicago.” She added that the car’s recovery allowed her to move on and that the experience motivated the purchase of a Doberman for added security. Chicago police indicated they could not provide an incident report to NBC News, and no arrests have been reported. Owens has previously recounted an attempted bag snatch in Milan during the 2026 Winter Olympics, noting the incident did not involve the Porsche theft.

Why It Matters
The burglary highlights the vulnerability of high-profile athletes to targeted thefts, especially when personal information is publicly available. Biles’ public discussion of the event underscores how such incidents can influence personal security decisions, such as acquiring guard dogs, and can affect consumer behavior, prompting the purchase of a replacement luxury vehicle.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Sources do not specify the exact date or time of the break-in, nor do they detail how the thieves accessed the home or the investigative steps taken by law enforcement. No official police statements about arrests or charges have been released. The lack of a police incident report leaves the circumstances of the theft largely unverified beyond Biles’ personal account.
