When thieves break into John Wick’s home, mayhem and retribution ensue.But thefts from the home of Keanu Reeves, the featured actor in that movie franchise, have led to law enforcement’s return of his valuables followed by a polite, personally penned thank you note from the film star.It turns out that Reeves, 61, was among the victims of a ring of foreign nationals who travel to the United States burglarizing homes in affluent neighborhoods before returning home with a haul of expensive wares.Reeves’ home was burglarized sometime in 2023 and the thieves made off with millions of dollars in items.

Among the stolen goods were six valuable watches, including one from the set of “John Wick” with an inscription on the back, according to the FBI.Earlier this year, special investigators in Chile — where some theft rings have originated — targeted a gang in eastern Santiago believed to be behind residential burglaries and occasional home invasions.In a joint operation between the FBI and Chilean police, authorities served search warrants at the homes of suspected theft ring members and recovered property belonging to Reeves and another person.Reeves received back six watches valued at approximately $125,000 in August during a meeting in New York with law enforcement after identifying the watches from photos.

But in many ways, because of their attachments, they had far greater value to the star.Reeves provided a handwritten letter to the FBI, offering “profound gratitude and appreciation,” thanking all parties involved, “to include the LAPD, the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, the FBI’s Legal Attaché Office in Santiago, Chile, Policia de Investigaciones (PDI), and Fiscalìa de Chile (Chilean National Prosecutor’s Office).“Thank you so much for all your effort, dedication, professionalism and cross-border cooperation.

My warmest regards, Keanu.”Officials ...
