GLENN HUGHES' Home Broken Into; $100,000 Worth Of Jewelry Missing

December 21, 2006

Legendary bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) has posted the following message on his official web site:

"I took [wife] Gab to her office as I was picking her up at 5:00 to go to Chad [Smith, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer] and Nancy's Xmas party... When I pulled in my drive, the pool man was leaving, so, I go in the house and the dogs were goin' crazy. Then I noticed the debris and saw drawers and clothes even the ashes of Lamont, Simka and Pookie had been thown on the floor out of their little caskets. I found Hughy and Princess hiding under one of the couches. I started to feel sick to my stomach. How could they have got into my fortress? There is a wall and high fence around my property; you can't enter from the road, there is an outer gate that has to be security opened, and then you have to walk through a courtyard. They got in through a side door, and left by the patio overlooking the pool — that would be the patio in the master suite... they took a lot of extemely valuable jewelry belonging to Gab and myself — around $100,000 worth. We are both fine, but feel terribly violated. The police team that took our case were very kind and cordial, let's wait and see what happens, these were were very personal items that my wife and I had given to each other on birthday's and Xmas, like I have said before , there are no mistakes in God's world, but I can tell you this — in the morning, I have enough security people and surveilance to make our home Fort Knox West..."
