Man Utd ex-star Owen Hargreaves' Jaguar nicked after thieves ‘hook keys through letterbox'

The culprits are understood to have pushed a fishing rod through the door to grab keys for the luxury motor.

A source, appearing to poke fun at the robbery, told The Sun: “It was catch of the day for them.

“They put a fishing rod through the letterbox and hooked the car keys from a table in the hallway.

“It was as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.”

The car taken was later understood to have been found in Luton.

“Between 10am on Friday, May 10 and 8.25am on Monday, May 13, a black Jaguar was stolen from the driveway of a property.

“The vehicle was found in Luton on Monday, May 13 and recovered. There have been no arrests and inquiries continue.”

Hargreaves, who used to play for England, now serves as a pundit for BT Sport.

He won Champions Leagues for United and Bayern Munich, but his later career was hampered by injuries in England.
