Osbournes Speak Out Against Jewel Thieves

Ozzy Osbourne spoke of his distress on Tuesday (November 23) hours after thieves stole precious jewellery from his country mansion. The heavy metal star, who grappled with one of the intruders during yesterday’s break in, offered a $190,000 reward for the return of the stolen gems. And asked if he would tackle a burglar again he responded: “Is the Pope a Catholic?” Ozzy and wife Sharon, stars of the eponymous reality TV show, spoke of their distress following the burglary at their home in Chalfont St. Peter, Buckinghamshire, at a press conference at a nearby hotel in London. They gave a full list of the items taken, including Sharon’s wedding rings and a 24-carat sapphire, which Sharon bought as an investment for her daughters. Sharon spoke of her anger at the burglary and said that while people might think that the family were rich enough to replace the items taken, their sentimental value made them irreplaceable.
