Celebrity break-ins rarely shock us anymore, but when it happened to the most decorated gymnast in history, people paid attention. Simone Biles dropped a casual story time on TikTok that left her followers stunned. Three masked men broke into her Chicago-area home and drove off with her luxury Porsche.
If you are wondering how the incident went down or what came of it, the details are pretty wild. Biles didn't just lose a vehicle; the ordeal completely shifted how she and her husband, NFL safety Jonathan Owens, approach security. Let's break down what actually occurred, how law enforcement handled the recovery, and why this bizarre chapter led to a brand new addition to their family.
The Chicago Break-In Details
The incident went down during the couple's time living in the Chicago area, where Owens previously played for the Bears. According to Biles, three individuals wearing masks forced their way into their property and stole her Porsche GTS.
For most people, having a high-end sports car stolen from your garage or driveway is a total nightmare. Biles handled the revelation with trademark humor, noting that the sheer chaos of her life could easily fill a reality television series.
"The things that happen to me are absolutely insanity," Biles shared on social media. "And so it would be really easy for producers to just film regularly."
Despite the scary nature of a home invasion style theft, law enforcement managed to track down and recover the vehicle. Biles updated her followers with a short and sweet caption confirming the happy ending for the car: "Yes, we recovered the car, onto the next".
Upgrading Security and the New Doberman
Getting your car stolen tends to change your perspective on home safety overnight. While the Porsche was eventually found and returned by police, the intrusion prompted immediate changes around the house.
One of the direct results of the break-in was a new furry addition to the household. Biles and Owens decided to get a Doberman Pinscher. Large guardian breeds have long been a go-to choice for athletes and high-profile figures looking for an extra layer of physical security and deterrence at home.
Beyond beefing up home security, the incident also sped up vehicle shopping. Biles admitted she was ready to move on from the stolen ride entirely. After testing out a few different high-performance options—and rejecting one because it felt too aggressive to drive—she settled on a brand new Porsche Cayenne GTS. She even channeled her inner movie character when describing the dealership experience, joking that she was ready to drive it off the lot immediately.
Life After Chicago and Moving Forward
Home burglaries targeting professional athletes have unfortunately become a recurring trend across major sports leagues. High-profile homes are frequently scouted, making modern security systems, gated properties, and trained protection animals essential investments for stars living in major metropolitan areas.
Fortunately, the chapter in Chicago is officially closed. With Owens spending time with the Indianapolis Colts, the couple has shifted their primary focus toward their next chapter in Indiana, leaving behind the stressful memories of the break-in.
While the TikTok story time gave fans a brief glimpse into a terrifying moment, Biles proved once again that she knows how to roll with the punches, recover her property, upgrade her ride, and keep moving forward.
