Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos, had $50,000 worth of merchandise stolen from her car. Prescott, however, does not believe the incident ties in with other athletes being victims of crimes.
Dak Prescott: Fiancée’s Car Being Broken Into Is Not Part of a Pattern
Prescott doesn’t believe the break-in had anything to do with him or his stature as a professional athlete. He does not want to group it with the recent string of burglaries in the homes of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Luka Dončić, and Joe Burrow.
There has been a string of burglaries into the homes of famous athletes while they are out of town performing. Prescott just believes this incident involving his fiancée is a mere coincidence.
“I don’t want anyone to tie that in with other things that have been happening,” Prescott said. “Her car got broken into at Pilates in Dallas. Who knows how many times that happens a day?”

The FBI is warning sports leagues about crime organizations targeting professional athletes following a string of burglaries at the homes of prominent NFL and NBA players.
The athletes’ homes are targeted due to the perception they may contain high-end goods, like designer handbags, jewelry, watches and cash, the FBI said in a Liaison Information Report obtained by ABC News.
“While many burglaries occur while homes are unoccupied, some burglaries occur while residents are home,” the FBI report said. “In these instances, individuals are encouraged to seek law enforcement help and avoid engaging with criminals, as they may be armed or use violence if confronted.”
According to an ESPN report, athletes are encouraged to report suspicious activity, keep records of valuables and where they are kept, employ extra security, and use caution on social media. The FBI also suggested athletes avoid posting pictures of valuables, the interior of their homes, and real-time posts when on vacation.
