However, the star admits that her stylist packed more than she would usually take, given that she was heading off on a break with her husband. But the suitcase was stolen in the matter of seconds when Jenson turned his back. Now, she has vowed to never return to London.

Initially, she questioned whether she should have put her suitcase in the car with her as Jenson is "a little too relaxed." "He had his back on mine," she said of her suitcase, revealing that neither of the couple saw the thief take off with her suitcase. Jenson and his wife didn't notice the suitcase was missing until he went to load it into the car.

Speaking to the , Brittny said: "I just started crying, I was a little upset with Jensen because I felt like he kind of dropped the ball a little but its not his fault someone was watching us." She explained that Jenson also fell victim to a robbery when a bag was robbed from him in a London car park months earlier.

Brittny started crying after the "traumatising" incident and says she had no idea "gangs" were waiting to steal from innocent people going about their day. But, while people assume that her former Formula One racing husband may have purchased the items for her – she insists that she worked hard to buy the items herself.

Just days after the robbery, Brittny saw her items listed online and knew she wouldn't be able to get them back. "At that point, I was not really interested. I wasn't going to send anyone to meet with these people. I knew they were mine, because one of the Kelly bags was missing a strap, which I had left it in LA."

But now, she and her husband have no intentions to return to London as it is "kind of dark and scary." However, Brittny is grateful that it wasn't a violent robbery. Now, she also feels thankful to have "gotten justice."

In a statement, the said: "A 41 year old man pleaded guilty to theft at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 19 February 2025, following an incident on 13 February. BTP received a report from the victim that she had arrived at St Pancras on the Eurostar with her husband around 12.30pm, and began loading a car on Pancras Road with their luggage.

"As the victim's husband turned to load her suitcase into the car, they realised it had been gone. Neither of them saw it being taken and reported it to a BTP officer at the station. The case contained several designer bags and jewellery including bracelets and rings of sentimental value, with the overall value estimated at in excess of £250,000.

"Detectives from BTP viewed CCTV and identified a man walking into the station with the victim's case at around 12.35pm and was seen walking back out of the station via the Midland Road exit. CCTV images were circulated among local BTP teams and one officer recognised the man in the CCTV to be Mourad Aid. He was then arrested by plain clothes officers in the Hatton Garden area on 17 February.

"Aid has now been remanded in custody until sentencing." Detective Sergeant Marc Farmer went on to add: "This was a brazen and opportunistic theft by a man who took advantage of the victim and her husband having their backs turned for a matter of seconds while loading up their car with luggage.

"He was able to quickly swipe the suitcase without them even noticing, which hammers home just how sneaky these sorts of criminals really are and why it's so important to keep one eye on your belongings at all times. While the incident wasn't captured on CCTV, we were still able to trace Aid through other investigative opportunities, and he was arrested by our plain clothes officers just days later. Anyone who witnesses or is a victim of theft on the railway network is able to text us for free on 61016."
