OZZY OSBOURNE: I Had Burglar In Headlock
November 22, 2004Ozzy Osbourne struggled with one of the masked raiders who stole around $3.7 million worth of jewelry from the star's mansion (photo),according to News.com.au.
Osbourne had one of the burglars in a headlock as he attempted to stop items, including a wedding and engagement ring belonging to wife Sharon, from being stolen.
He told The Sun newspaper: "He didn't say anything, nor did I. I just looked at him, he was heavy — all I could see were his wild red eyes.
"I thought for a mad split second, 'I could snap your neck like a straw, snap it and let you fall and say it was an accident.' But then I just let him drop. I couldn't kill him, I couldn't live with that on my conscience.
"It was terrifying, I was looking to see if he had a knife. I can't get his staring eyes out of my mind."
Among the jewelry taken were two gold wedding rings and a 24-carat sapphire, which was Sharon's "survival" ring.
The burglary occurred after the couple had been celebrating the birthday of Sir Elton John's boyfriend, David Furnish.
Osbourne needed the toilet in the early hours when he came upon the burglar.
He intends to beef up security but added the experience had left him angry and feeling violated.
After the struggle, the raiders escaped by jumping 30 feet from a first floor window.
