Dirk Kuyt has become the fifth Liverpool footballer to be burgled in less than 18 months.
The 27-year-old striker´s luxury home in Woolton was targeted on Thursday while he was away on international duty with home country Holland.
Merseyside Police confirmed they were investigating a burglary in Woolton.
The Merseyside home of Jerzy Dudek, Liverpool´s goalkeeper from the 2005 Champions League final penalty shoot-out, was burgled in June 2006.
The raid at Kuyt´s house is the latest to see a footballers´ home targeted in the city while they are away playing a match.
Burnt-out Porsche
Dudek, who now plays for Real Madrid, was on holiday in Poland when thieves took his Porsche car, jewellery and a large haul of football memorabilia from across his career, including his European Cup medal.
Pepe Reina was burgled while he played for Liverpool in last May´s Champions League semi-final against Chelsea.
He also had his Porsche taken during the raid, among other things, with the car later found burnt-out in West Derby.
Reds defender Daniel Agger had his Wirral home burgled in September last year and striker Peter Crouch´s house in Alderley Edge was targeted in the same month while he was on England duty.
