Tom Hanks’ L.A. Home Hit By Burglars: Report

Tom Hanks and wife actress Rita Wilson’s home in Los Angeles was reportedly burglarized, making the superstar couple the latest celebrities to have their home hit by burglars.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that a few weeks back, the guest home on the property of the 68-year-old actor was broken into in broad daylight by thieves who smashed the glass to get in.

Sources said the break-in set off the alarm, but apparently didn’t deter the thieves. Luckily, both the “Forrest Gump” star and his wife were out of town and were not injured in the attack on their property, the outlet noted.

The main home was not breached and it is unclear what, if anything, was stolen. Sources said Hanks wasn’t the target, but another victim like many of the stars who have had their homes hit, like Billie Eilish’s family, Drake, and Goldie Hawn, KTVU noted.

Speaking in June on the SiriusXM podcast “Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa,” the 78-year-old actress said their home had been burglarized twice in four months, as previously reported.

LA Police Chief Dominic Choi told the Board of Police Commissioners in July that the burglaries are “happening very quickly,” NBC Los Angeles reported.

“We’re not seeing the entire house being ransacked,” Choi said. “These individuals that are conducting these high-end burglaries know what they’re looking for, and they’re in and out in a few minutes.”

In March, the LAPD said there had been over 900 residential burglaries across the city since January, some of which were committed by burglars who may be using new technology to circumvent home security systems.

On March 4, the Wilshire department of the LAPD acknowledged, “Wilshire area has been subjected to various residential burglaries, involving 3-4 suspects using Wi-Fi jammers as they enter victims’ residences. The Los Angeles Police Department is seeking your help to deter such burglaries.”

No arrests have been announced in the reported burglary at the Hanks home as of the time of this publication.

British PM Condemns Anti-Immigration Protesters. He Championed BLM Protesters In 2020.

After a young man of Rwandan descent knifed to death three young girls, ages 6,8, and 9, in Southport, England, on July 29, and anti-immigration demonstrations were mounted from Liverpool, England, to Belfast, Ireland, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the left-wing Labour Party condemned the protesters, calling the actions “far-right thuggery we have seen this weekend.”

The suspect arrested in the brutal murders lives in Banks, Lancashire; he was born to Rwandan parents in Cardiff, Wales. Eight other children were stabbed, as well as the teacher who tried to protect them; five of the children were left in critical condition.

“Be in no doubt: Those who have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law,” Starmer said. “I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves. This is not protest. It is organized, violent thuggery.”

Yet in 2020, Starmer had a quite different reaction to the Black Lives Matter riots in the United States, saying, “Like you, I was shocked and angered at the killing of George Floyd. And the response of President Trump and the U.S. authorities to the peaceful protests, to people rightly demanding justice, has been an affront to humanity. The last week has shone a spotlight on the racism, discrimination and the injustice experienced by those from black and minority ethnic communities in the U.S., in the UK, and around the world. Martin Luther King said, ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

He also stated, “This is not a moment for not standing with the Black Lives Matter movement and the injustice that is being exposed.”

Starmer tweeted on Monday, “This is not protest, it is pure violence. We will have a standing army of public duty officers. We will ramp up criminal justice. We will apply criminal law online as well as offline. We will not tolerate attacks on mosques or on Muslim communities.”

Labour MP Afzal Khan wrote Starmer demanding the government define islamophonia, stating that the government should adopt this definition: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.”
