I'm a french woman living in Paris, and let me tell you everyone knows about all the robberies in saint tropez ... and honestly, your theory is very valid, it often happens that way even in Paris ... Thank god, you all are safe ♡
So scary and creepy to know someone invaded your privacy and was creeping around you while your sleeping. So happy you all are safe and made it back home. Praise God for protecting you all.
Difficult to believe the homeowner was not in on the crime, given she helped with the babysitter. I think cameras were in every room and you were monitored from day one. Thanks for sharing the experience, I had no idea such things could happen. Air BnB's have risks that hotels don't, security is very different.
Omg....THANK GOD you guys are ok and the kids didn't get kidnapped. I never let anyone watch my kids that I don't know fear of being robbed or worse. I am so sorry this happened.
I’m only half way through & I’m ill…… Firstly, thank God you all are safe. My heart sank thinking about the kids. I’m so sorry you all had to experience this. Thank you for sharing in hopes to keeping others diligent no matter where they go. This took even more vulnerability to share❤xo
Honestly, it’s such a blessing you guys were asleep the whole time. It sounds crazy, but if you woke up who knows what would’ve happened. Thank God you all are okay and safe.
its one thing to get robbed when you're not home but a million times worse that they were literally right above your heads when you're sleeping. so sorry this happened :( karma will def get them.
Omg !!! Not judging but why would you trust a babysitter when you are in another country and can do a criminal check on her ... etc they could have take the kids 😳
Can't imagine how violating that would've felt, let alone how your sister and brother in law felt knowing their children were there when this all happened and the possibilities of what could've happened. Makes me so sick. Thank God you guys are okay.
SHE PROBABLY PUT CAMERAS IN YOUR AIR B&B AND YOU WERE BEING FILMED. They probably took the camera with them when they stole your items. That’s probably how they knew when you all were asleep. Just my thoughts. I’m so sorry this happened to you guys. Thank you for sharing and will hopefully help everyone else be more careful.
My worst nightmare ever. Someone creeping around in my home while sleeping. Mate I'm just so glad u are all safe and back home in one piece. Take care guys🙏❤
Just thinking from the Kim Kardashian robbery.. I think it’s super important to be safe on the internet. So much information is given away in your vlogs and socials about when you guys are not home/ traveling or what items you have on you when traveling. I would recommend sharing travel videos once you’re already home. Glad you guys are okay.
I thought the same thing when I was watching their video was about Kim K's robbery. I do so much research when I go to a new place. It's a lot you can learn on TH-cam or Google about the do's and don't's
You know you’re a mom when you watch this video and one of the top things to stick out to you is the owner of the house helping you find a babysitter. The way I gasped 😅. My anxiety could never 😂. So sorry this happened to you all. I cannot even imagine how violated you feel knowing someone was in your private space.
Wow this is really eye opening. Thank you for sharing the story and I’m glad you all are ok. I recently made the switch to not taking my real jewelry or designer bags on vacation and I will continue to do that because you just never know..
So glad you and your family are ok! I recently read something about women "renting" babies to cause empathy while begging for money which immediately made me think she could have used those children to seem harmless. I also wouldn't be surprised if the cops are some how a part of it as well. Its a sad reality.
Omg thankfully you are ok. Can you please do a video on how you both were able to move passed this horrific experience and enjoy the rest of the trip. I would have cancelled everything and went home! How do you both cope with stuff like that? Any life advice would be appreciated. I know Julia has been transparent about having anxiety so I'm curious how she got through it.
Im truly so sorry this happened to you all ! I'm so happy you guys are all safe. This is such a horrible thing I would be absolutely petrified. Seriously one of my worst fear is someone in my space without me knowing. Julia I'm so sorry about your wedding ring. I really hope you both can recover from this. Much love to you both ❤
So sorry that happened to you. In 1969 I went to 26 country's for a 2months tour. Was robbed 4 different times. But 1 in a hotel room while sleeping. I saw the manager and desk clerks with key opened my door and started snooping I was alone and I kept still. When they left I call the police. The Hotel had been doing this for years. Had a way to watch you through the mirror had people outside on the sidewalk that would bump into you and take your watch. But as you said the police did nothing about it other than question the manager. As you I was so grateful that I made it Home safely that I kissed the ground when I got off the plane.
How terrifying and utterly violating! So glad everyone is ok. With babies and women in the house luckily they only wanted material items. Not to discount your experience at all. Also, when Hunter talks about them being in there a while you have to also think about them doing this in complete darkness and complete silence. To me that indicates they knew the layout of the home and it's furnishings.
Damn, so sorry this happened to you. I’m an Irish person who lives in canada and I have to say you need to be so so careful when in Europe vs North America. People are so skilled and so sneaky. I have so many crazy stories. Always lock your belongings in the safe in a hotel etc and never bring expensive or luxury items with you at all. Just not worth the worry ❤ hope you are all doing ok, so scary!!!
Never, ever trust any babysitting app service, especially in another country! I think the homeowner had cameras in the home watching you and was in with the babysitter and even possibly a ring of Albanian thieves. Leave all valuables at home when you travel. Four, don’t vlog before or during your travels nor share your locations till you return home. I realize you learned this in this horrible robbery but I really thought most people should know these safety tips when traveling. 🤔This could have been so much worse and I’m thankful it was not. So sorry this happened. Everyone should watch Taken, I realize it’s a movie but opens your eyes to all kinds of things that really do happen.
I’m so so sorry to hear this happened to you! I know there are a lot of comments blaming you or telling you what you should have done but there are always “what ifs” and it seems you guys are taking this as a learning experience. Thank you for sharing your experience and helping educate your followers!! Glad you guys are safe❤
Thank you guys for sharing! I’ll probably start bringing a video monitor now when traveling abroad. I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened if you guys woke up while they’re still in your room. I’m really glad you guys are safe but nonetheless this is a traumatic experience for you!
Did you look through all your camera footage to see if you can spot anyone who may look suspicious. The women who baby sat was probably the spotter and then gave the info to a few men who she works with.
This is so sad, firstly, I am beyond happy You and your family are all okay. Material things can be replaced but it is so sad to know things you’ve worked so hard for we’re stolen especially while you guys are sleeping. Ugh so sorry guys
Of course cash is gone forever and the wedding ring is closest to the heart. That is the biggest loss. As for the remainder, they will luckily be reimbursed by insurance and be able to go shopping for equally beautiful things.
So scary! Especially with kids being present. So glad to hear they didn’t go into rooms with the kids. I can’t imagine waking up knowing someone was creeping around while you slept!! Thankful everyone is safe.
Thank you for sharing your story. A family from our church went on vacation at Aruba and a man stood her 14 year old son that was on the beach and got away on a jet ski…sorry to say, many years looking the boy was never found.
SO SCARY and so very sorry this happened to you all!! What a letdown on a beautiful European vacation, but glad you are all safe! You two are very resilient and mature at how you handle things. Very impressive and you have a wonderful attitude about life in general. Thanks for your vulnerability and for sharing this!!
I’m so so sorry this happened to you guys. It’s awful not only to have your valuables taken, but the invasion of privacy to have someone in your room while you sleep, and to have things with so much emotional attachment like wedding rings taken. Glad you guys are okay! Good reminder to everyone watching to be careful taking valuables with you especially while traveling.
We were robbed in Athens a few years ago by a very sophisticated group of people including a lot of women and elderly people. I was pregnant at the time and remember feeling so violated as it happened on a train and they managed to separate me from my husband. I'm sorry you went through that.
This is so crazy! I am so happy you all are safe! Gives me chills to think someone was walking around while you all were sleeping. Thank god it’s all stuff that can be replaced
Thank goodness no one was hurt , unfortunately things like this occur it just makes you realize how insignificant materialistic things are sometimes and just being grateful that everyone is safe ..
It’s so awkward liking a video when it’s a sad situation but it’s out way of supporting you guys. It all sucks and it sucks that things like this happens to good people but boy am I glad and thank GOD you guys are okay and they didn’t hurt y’all physically. This world is SCARY 😢
Same exact thing happend to my husband and I in 2014 in Costa Rica. We had done an all day tour and got back to our room around 11pm and passed out. Slept so hard. Safe was open and while we slept and someone crept in and took our phones, camera, and wallet. I actually had my engagement ring in my wallet since I didn’t wear it that day. So scary waking up reaching around for our phones and realizing things weren’t right. Such a yucky feeling knowing what had happened. Another couple at our hotel had the same thing happen to them on the same night. I was also around 6 months pregnant and just happy we didn’t wake up when they were in the room. Happy for good home owners insurance.
I also thought the same....very, very naive to do so. I am just so glad the babies were still there when they got back!! Easy kidnappying sitch when you know they have money....
So sorry to hear this, thank God you all are ok! You have to be aware of your surroundings wherever you are even when you are back in the states. Be safe!❤
This is such a terrible feeling. We were robbed in San Francisco a few years back so I know how horrible it can feel to have your belongings stolen. I think in y’all’s situation the robbers could have had night vision goggles or sent the kids in to quietly grab small items. We are all thankful you guys and your family members are safe 🌻
This absolutely breaks my heart. In a way, I am so happy you two didn't wake up because you really do not know how those robbers would have reacted to that. So happy you, all the kids, and your family is safe. Very sorry this happened to you.
I’m so sorry this happened to you guys. I’m glad you all are okay and were not harmed! I was thinking of you guys more than normal too and just waiting for the next vlog. Love you guys dearly ❤
Whoa! I’m so glad you’re all okay. I literally have never heard of this in my life, had no idea this kind of thing happened! Thank you seriously for informing us. 😳😮 Totally makes sense anyone would feel safe in a gated community surrounded by those concrete walls!
Very very important video, thank you Julia and Hunter for sharing, about two months ago I went to Puerto Rico with my boyfriend, brother and his friend, when we pulled up to the airbnb at night we noticed that we were being followed, we call the authorities there, thankfully we all speak Spanish, while we were on the phone with 911 for a good 15 min the car was still following us cutting people in the street, taking red lights, we were driving normal didn’t want to arise any suspicion that we knew we were being followed, until we were about to go into the expressway giving time for the police to locate us, they hit us from behind once but we continue to take the ramp onto the expressway, while on the expressway they continue to follows us and hit us from behind three more times until our car flipped 3 times and we landed upside down, thankfully none of us in the car suffered major injuries just small scratches, the person driving the other vehicle lost control and also crashed ahead, he was taking into custody due to intoxication, but while we were waiting for the police to arrive, we saw other people getting out of the other vehicle and leaving, we’re sure they wanted to rob us, police report says something completely different than what we told them happened, I’m just glad we’re all okay and you guys are also okay❤❤❤
Oh my heart breaks hearing this story and I would have never known this could possibly happen to anyone. Thank you for sharing as hard as that may have been. Now I feel like I will travel with my own camera so that it can record movement when I'm not in my room. Thank goodness everyone is safe, that's all that matters xo
Wow, so scary. The potential gassing gave me chills! Did you guys ever reach back out to the babysitter group or the babysitter directly? I would have at least made them aware of the situation and that you thought it was connected so they know for future. Especially if she truly was newer to the area now they are made aware. Thank GOD nothing happened to the kids even the night the sitter watched the kids!
@@cechernandez i remember them saying that too and then they mentioned there was a local babysitters group they used. Where we live in ohio, we have lot of local fb groups with young women who offer their services. So I'm thinking it could have been a situation like that. Could have been a normal and fine group and there's just some bad apples part of it. But it totally makes sense if the airbnb lady was in on it too. I would hope they mentioned it in the review of the place that way if it keeps happening and others mention it- probably way more than a coincidence! My mind even goes to if the owner has ring doorbells and can totally see as they enter and exit. Freaks me out to stay at any personal residences anywhere now.
OMG what a terrifying experience :( So glad that ya'll are ok and for having the courage to share your experience and spreading awareness! I totally felt what Hunter said about losing faith in ppl. It's so incredibly sad how ppl that appear to be good can deceive you in such an awful way :(
this is so terrifying! i have chills! i'm glad you guys and your family are safe. thank you for sharing this story. going to be so much more cautious on my next trip❤️
This literally brought me to tears! What a major violation to experience especially so far from comfort! And the children, thank goodness they were oblivious to it all! Stay safe and blessed you two! ❤
It’s so scary. I had someone break into an apartment that I lived in & I was so afraid to go to sleep or to even be there, I felt so violated. I ended up moving a month later. Hopefully this doesn’t cause long lasting trauma for either of you.
How gracious of you to share your learnings - so sorry this happened. For the people victim blaming, I hope nothing ever happens that you could have potentially avoided with hindsight, ordering an Uber, getting a massage, daring to wear something nice in one of the wealthy places in the world etc etc etc ….. I can see the innocence. For anyone travelling to St Tropez please take note of this, I am European so can attest to this being absolutely rife in this particular area. If you’re sitting having lunch outside, I’d suggest hooking the strap of your bag under the leg of your seat, obviously so you can directly see it… credit and debit card blockers a must …. A friend of mine in broad daylight had her bumbag/ fanny pack stolen by a fake delivery person on a bike, she had it clipped cross body in front across her chest … it was unclipped in seconds and gone …. St tropez is a wealthy port, there are loads of migrants (no hate), loads of gangs and a huge drug trade, again because it’s a port and obviously the wealthy need their drugs …. Take care people
I feel like you should leave the vrbo villa info in your description- that all sounds like an inside job. So sad this happened to you and your family. So glad you are sharing this story! And so glad everyone is safe!!! The gassing and night goggles sounds very likely, too!
that must’ve been the most unsettling feeling realizing that someone was in your house walking around freely while you’re all sleeping.. so sorry that happened and especially that Julia lost her wedding ring :( just glad you guys are ok, that’s all that matters! xx
Oh … just heard the end of your story. You did have headaches. You were probably gassed . ThT just puts it on another level of pain. Thank you for sharing and informing us. I’m heading to the Florida Keys this Winter. My valuables will be left behind
So sorry that this happened to you guys, but I’m glad you guys are okay! Thank you for posting this though, I must say it is very helpful and is also just a good reminder. P.S. Really do admire your guys outlook on things and that even in the midst of all this you can still take away some good and enjoy the rest of your trip and have peace going forward, that really is a great gift to have, you guys are awesome role models!
This is so scary… to think how invading it must feel that in your most vulnerable state someone comes in and take your belongings. So so sad and so scary. So glad you guys are ok thanks for sharing your story.
My family is from Spain and I always learned to take the minimal jewelry and things that are not of value. I learned to use bags that are crossbody as they are harder to be tugged off. Even though crime in Europe is not brutal (bloody), there is a lot of petty crime. The lesson is no matter how safe you feel, take at least some minimum precautions. at the end of the day, it’s good that something worse didn’t happen.
I'm so so sorry that you guys and your family went through that. Thank God that they didn't harm you guys!!!! Material things could always be bought again but not your life. I am soooooooo happy that you are guys are well!!!
Not related to the topic and so sorry you guys went through it but juj... you look absolutely stunning in this video... not that you arnt normally but just something about this look 😍
So glad you are all ok, I went through a similar situation on a villa holiday in Spain and they climbed through the window (all windows had locked shutters except one which we didn’t realise) while we were out for dinner and the police said the same thing about watching you for a couple days prior and they will go for holiday villas not locals, and take only jewellery and gold etc over electronics, clothing and other items. We also found my mum’s jewellery box by the pool like they grabbed it took what they wanted and left anything they didn’t need. Stay safe both x
I’m so sorry this happened to you, how scary. Thanks for sharing, we are all now much wiser to what could happen and will be more vigilant in the future 👍🏼 I hope the insurance company are fair to you and not blame you for not locking the door
I'm a french woman living in Paris, and let me tell you everyone knows about all the robberies in saint tropez ... and honestly, your theory is very valid, it often happens that way even in Paris ...
Thank god, you all are safe ♡
so scary is better to not travel with jewelry or designer bags 😮
because its a government mafia system its a crazy but it is!!!
So scary and creepy to know someone invaded your privacy and was creeping around you while your sleeping. So happy you all are safe and made it back home. Praise God for protecting you all.
Europe is unfortunately pretty dangerous still. Innocent people get robbed and killed constantly
I will never sleep with the door unlocked regardless of how safe I feel. I have listened to too much crime junkie!
Difficult to believe the homeowner was not in on the crime, given she helped with the babysitter. I think cameras were in every room and you were monitored from day one. Thanks for sharing the experience, I had no idea such things could happen. Air BnB's have risks that hotels don't, security is very different.
was thinking the same thing
I thought the same. Given the fact it’s so common, they should have cameras outside that record.
Owner probably an accomplice .... hmmmmm
Exactly! A complete set up
I Thought the same !!
Omg....THANK GOD you guys are ok and the kids didn't get kidnapped. I never let anyone watch my kids that I don't know fear of being robbed or worse. I am so sorry this happened.
I’m only half way through & I’m ill…… Firstly, thank God you all are safe. My heart sank thinking about the kids. I’m so sorry you all had to experience this. Thank you for sharing in hopes to keeping others diligent no matter where they go. This took even more vulnerability to share❤xo
Wow! I’m so glad to hear you all are ok! And if the babysitter was involved, I’m glad the kids are ok & not trafficked.
Honestly, it’s such a blessing you guys were asleep the whole time. It sounds crazy, but if you woke up who knows what would’ve happened. Thank God you all are okay and safe.
Key takeaway: lock your doors. Be responsible regardless of where you are. Thank God the kids are safe!
Especially in a villa with a pool - with a small toddler, seems very unsafe
door can be opened with key or broken nothing can help its system!!!
Omg I’m so sorry this happen to you guys 😣
its one thing to get robbed when you're not home but a million times worse that they were literally right above your heads when you're sleeping. so sorry this happened :( karma will def get them.
Omg !!! Not judging but why would you trust a babysitter when you are in another country and can do a criminal check on her ... etc they could have take the kids 😳
Ok my thoughts exactly I was like OH! Sounds like a kidnapping waiting to happen??
Exactly can u imagine! I’m hungry I don’t know u but watch my kids .. 😂
💯 babysitter is involved-never entered the rooms w cameras she scoped the place
Planted a camera to see when everyone was in bed
Exactly my thought. Omg thank God those kids are safe. Jewlery can replaced but not the kids. Ughhh
Can't imagine how violating that would've felt, let alone how your sister and brother in law felt knowing their children were there when this all happened and the possibilities of what could've happened. Makes me so sick. Thank God you guys are okay.
SHE PROBABLY PUT CAMERAS IN YOUR AIR B&B AND YOU WERE BEING FILMED. They probably took the camera with them when they stole your items. That’s probably how they knew when you all were asleep. Just my thoughts.
I’m so sorry this happened to you guys. Thank you for sharing and will hopefully help everyone else be more careful.
This is what I was thinking too
My worst nightmare ever. Someone creeping around in my home while sleeping. Mate I'm just so glad u are all safe and back home in one piece. Take care guys🙏❤
The pain on your face Julia when you said your wedding ring is gone. I am so sorry this happened to you guys.

My exact thought!
I agree and insta stories too. It’s kind awkward because it’s their job but safety first
You know you’re a mom when you watch this video and one of the top things to stick out to you is the owner of the house helping you find a babysitter. The way I gasped 😅. My anxiety could never 😂.

Julia, DONT CHANGE YOUR HAIR COLOR EVER! It looks amazing.
I totally agree gorgeous
Yes I love it!! This look is giving Emily in Paris vibes
Her hair looks amazing, I agree!!
This caption cracks me up now😂 “while we were sleeping” sooooo happy for the two of you! Been watching since you moved to Texas❤
Thank GOD you guys are okay and the kids are okay. So so so scary.
So glad you and your family are ok!

This is absolutely insane & scary. My heart hurts for you all, but so happy y’all are safe!!💕

The more you love your decisions, the less you need others to love your decisions. ♡
You left a baby and a toddler with a random person in another country? Are these people serious???
That was my thought 😂 I’d rather bring a nanny
exactly. lol
I also thought the same....very, very naive to do so. I am just so glad the babies were still there when they got back!! Easy kidnappying sitch when you know they have money....
thats what i said 😂
Literally Insane. I mean count their blessings those kids were not taken and that their material items were.
julia your hair and makeup is on fleeeeeekkkkkk
So sorry to hear this, thank God you all are ok! You have to be aware of your surroundings wherever you are even when you are back in the states. Be safe!❤
This is such a terrible feeling. We were robbed in San Francisco a few years back so I know how horrible it can feel to have your belongings stolen.

This make me nauseous! I am so thankful you all and especially the kids are safe!!!! I’m so sorry this happened.
super grateful to God that everyone is back home safe. I know emotionally is a lot to deal with.
This absolutely breaks my heart. In a way, I am so happy you two didn't wake up because you really do not know how those robbers would have reacted to that. So happy you, all the kids, and your family is safe. Very sorry this happened to you.
So sorry this happened to you!! Thankful ya'll are safe and thanks for sharing. BTW Juj you look so stunning
I’m so sorry this happened to you guys. I’m glad you all are okay and were not harmed! I was thinking of you guys more than normal too and just waiting for the next vlog. Love you guys dearly ❤
Love the spritz and chips vibe! So sorry this happened to you guys 😢 that is so scary. glad you’re safe now!
So sorry this happened to you and your family. Such a scary thing that this happened while you guys were sleeping. Glad all of you are home safe.
Whoa! I’m so glad you’re all okay. I literally have never heard of this in my life, had no idea this kind of thing happened! Thank you seriously for informing us. 😳😮
Totally makes sense anyone would feel safe in a gated community surrounded by those concrete walls!
Very very important video, thank you Julia and Hunter for sharing, about two months ago I went to Puerto Rico with my boyfriend, brother and his friend, when we pulled up to the airbnb at night we noticed that we were being followed, we call the authorities there, thankfully we all speak Spanish, while we were on the phone with 911 for a good 15 min the car was still following us cutting people in the street, taking red lights, we were driving normal didn’t want to arise any suspicion that we knew we were being followed, until we were about to go into the expressway giving time for the police to locate us, they hit us from behind once but we continue to take the ramp onto the expressway, while on the expressway they continue to follows us and hit us from behind three more times until our car flipped 3 times and we landed upside down, thankfully none of us in the car suffered major injuries just small scratches, the person driving the other vehicle lost control and also crashed ahead, he was taking into custody due to intoxication, but while we were waiting for the police to arrive, we saw other people getting out of the other vehicle and leaving, we’re sure they wanted to rob us, police report says something completely different than what we told them happened, I’m just glad we’re all okay and you guys are also okay❤❤❤
Oh my heart breaks hearing this story and I would have never known this could possibly happen to anyone. Thank you for sharing as hard as that may have been. Now I feel like I will travel with my own camera so that it can record movement when I'm not in my room. Thank goodness everyone is safe, that's all that matters xo
So so so glad y’all are safe and not hurt. ❤️
Wow, so scary. The potential gassing gave me chills! Did you guys ever reach back out to the babysitter group or the babysitter directly? I would have at least made them aware of the situation and that you thought it was connected so they know for future. Especially if she truly was newer to the area now they are made aware. Thank GOD nothing happened to the kids even the night the sitter watched the kids!
Wondering that too!!
Wondering that too!!
But the villa was the one that recommended or helped arrange…so makes me almost think they are also in on it. So awful all around.
@@cechernandez i remember them saying that too and then they mentioned there was a local babysitters group they used. Where we live in ohio, we have lot of local fb groups with young women who offer their services. So I'm thinking it could have been a situation like that. Could have been a normal and fine group and there's just some bad apples part of it. But it totally makes sense if the airbnb lady was in on it too. I would hope they mentioned it in the review of the place that way if it keeps happening and others mention it- probably way more than a coincidence! My mind even goes to if the owner has ring doorbells and can totally see as they enter and exit. Freaks me out to stay at any personal residences anywhere now.
OMG what a terrifying experience :( So glad that ya'll are ok and for having the courage to share your experience and spreading awareness! I totally felt what Hunter said about losing faith in ppl. It's so incredibly sad how ppl that appear to be good can deceive you in such an awful way :(
Hunty, your skin and cheekbones look amazing.
Okay, back to the vlog! (only 2 minutes in, had to say that).
Wow…… literal chills. Glad to hear you guys and the family are okay. Thank you for spreading awareness.
Thank God your safe and sound.Will definitely be passing this video on
this is so terrifying! i have chills! i'm glad you guys and your family are safe. thank you for sharing this story. going to be so much more cautious on my next trip❤️
This entire story gave me goosebumps and is making me nauseous. I’m so glad y’all are okay. Having 2 kids and hearing them is utterly terrifying
As someone with 2 small kids this story freaks me tf out. If I had woken up I would go ballistic.
Crazy!!! So sorry this happened happened to you 😢
This literally brought me to tears! What a major violation to experience especially so far from comfort! And the children, thank goodness they were oblivious to it all! Stay safe and blessed you two! ❤
It’s so scary. I had someone break into an apartment that I lived in & I was so afraid to go to sleep or to even be there, I felt so violated. I ended up moving a month later. Hopefully this doesn’t cause long lasting trauma for either of you.
How gracious of you to share your learnings - so sorry this happened. For the people victim blaming, I hope nothing ever happens that you could have potentially avoided with hindsight, ordering an Uber, getting a massage, daring to wear something nice in one of the wealthy places in the world etc etc etc ….. I can see the innocence. For anyone travelling to St Tropez please take note of this, I am European so can attest to this being absolutely rife in this particular area. If you’re sitting having lunch outside, I’d suggest hooking the strap of your bag under the leg of your seat, obviously so you can directly see it… credit and debit card blockers a must …. A friend of mine in broad daylight had her bumbag/ fanny pack stolen by a fake delivery person on a bike, she had it clipped cross body in front across her chest … it was unclipped in seconds and gone …. St tropez is a wealthy port, there are loads of migrants (no hate), loads of gangs and a huge drug trade, again because it’s a port and obviously the wealthy need their drugs …. Take care people
Wow, such a good reminder, so glad you and babies are safe.
I feel like you should leave the vrbo villa info in your description- that all sounds like an inside job.
So sad this happened to you and your family. So glad you are sharing this story! And so glad everyone is safe!!!
The gassing and night goggles sounds very likely, too!
that must’ve been the most unsettling feeling realizing that someone was in your house walking around freely while you’re all sleeping.. so sorry that happened and especially that Julia lost her wedding ring :( just glad you guys are ok, that’s all that matters! xx
Thank you for posting this. I’m so sorry that you had this experience
Oh … just heard the end of your story. You did have headaches. You were probably gassed . ThT just puts it on another level of pain. Thank you for sharing and informing us. I’m heading to the Florida Keys this Winter. My valuables will be left behind
So sorry that this happened to you guys, but I’m glad you guys are okay!
Thank you for posting this though, I must say it is very helpful and is also just a good reminder.
P.S. Really do admire your guys outlook on things and that even in the midst of all this you can still take away some good and enjoy the rest of your trip and have peace going forward, that really is a great gift to have, you guys are awesome role models!
I’m so glad y’all are okay. That’s such an intense and violating experience. Wild.
This is so scary… to think how invading it must feel that in your most vulnerable state someone comes in and take your belongings. So so sad and so scary. So glad you guys are ok thanks for sharing your story.
I think your theory is accurate and seems a very realistic one!! especially with the kids and knowing the bedrooms.. so sorry this happened to you!!
My family is from Spain and I always learned to take the minimal jewelry and things that are not of value. I learned to use bags that are crossbody as they are harder to be tugged off. Even though crime in Europe is not brutal (bloody), there is a lot of petty crime. The lesson is no matter how safe you feel, take at least some minimum precautions. at the end of the day, it’s good that something worse didn’t happen.
So thankful y’all are all safe! 🤍
Glad you shared to keep people aware! Like just seeing your stories it honestly would have never crossed my mind so its crazy to hear.
I'm so so sorry that you guys and your family went through that. Thank God that they didn't harm you guys!!!! Material things could always be bought again but not your life. I am soooooooo happy that you are guys are well!!!
Not related to the topic and so sorry you guys went through it but juj... you look absolutely stunning in this video... not that you arnt normally but just something about this look 😍
Also, your hair Julia! Gorgeous! 💁🏻♀️
How scary for you guys! Glad your all alright though. Good info for all. Going to share this, thank you!!
guys😭😭😭 I am so sorry this happened to you. I’m so glad you guys are safe❤️
So glad you are all ok, I went through a similar situation on a villa holiday in Spain and they climbed through the window (all windows had locked shutters except one which we didn’t realise) while we were out for dinner and the police said the same thing about watching you for a couple days prior and they will go for holiday villas not locals, and take only jewellery and gold etc over electronics, clothing and other items. We also found my mum’s jewellery box by the pool like they grabbed it took what they wanted and left anything they didn’t need. Stay safe both x
I’m so sorry this happened to you, how scary. Thanks for sharing, we are all now much wiser to what could happen and will be more vigilant in the future 👍🏼 I hope the insurance company are fair to you and not blame you for not locking the door
