Someone recently broke into Simon Cowell's London house when the music mogul was sleeping with his infant son Eric and baby mama Lauren Silverman upstairs. Cash and jewelry were reportedly stolen by the thief. Police was called but the suspect had already fled. Luckily, no one was injured.
However, a security guard named Luckily M'Bathonha who works for a private security firm in the same street reportedly managed to wrestle back Cowell's possessions. He confronted the thief when he saw the star's passport on the street and saw a suspicious figure.
"I ran up to him, put my hand on his shoulder and said, 'wait a second.' He jumped and then dropped the bag and ran. Fear is my friend," the guard told The Mirror. Meanwhile, Cowel's personal guard was unaware of the burglary because he'd been in a bathroom.
Simon Cowell later poked fun at the incident when appearing on the latest episode of "The X Factor". He mocked Ceryl Cole's last remaining act Reggie N Bollie who performed R. City and Adam Levine's "Locked Away" on a prison-themed stage. The female judge who was unaware of Cowell's ordeal looked horrified as he said, "Very appropriate the night after I get burgled - Cheers Cheryl."
