00:00Yeah, it seems like we're with Rob Rossi of The Athletic on the Big K Morning Show.
00:06What they've pieced together from these other high-profile thefts from Patrick Mahomes,
00:12quarterback for the Chiefs, Travis Kelsey, obviously his favorite tight end, and others
00:17in the NBA, is there are groups from South America, apparently, who use publicly available
00:25information and social media to identify athletes' habits.
00:28They track their comings and goings, according to this FBI report, and the groups use technology
00:33allowing them somehow to bypass alarm systems, block wireless internet connections, and disable
00:40devices, cover security cameras, hide their identities.
00:44They've been very successful at this, and so far, we don't know of anyone who's been
00:47arrested in any of these cases.
00:50That's true, and so I have to be clear.
00:52I don't know yet if there's a link, but certainly signs point to this fitting in with the same
01:03profile of the type of robberies we've seen with the other high-profile athletes.
01:08I know that the Penguins, even since the incident, have been working with their team security
01:16to try to figure out how they can keep their athletes, their players, in a better position,
01:21but yeah, it's jarring, because look, I've been to the home of Evgeny Malkin, and these
01:29are not just security, and these aren't your average, like I have, like a security system.
01:38These are pretty high-intensity security systems that these athletes have, for obvious reasons, right?
