Britney Spears has been robbed.
In early May, Britney warned that someone is setting her up. Many of her fans (and even non-fans) have observed clear efforts to turn public opinion against her.
It turns out that some of the threats to Britney are a little less elaborate.
Taking to social media over Memorial Day Weekend, Britney reported that someone has stolen her jewelry.

Who robbed Britney Spears?
On Sunday, May 26, Britney Spears took to Instagram to share a video.
In the post, she showed fans and followers the drawers of her jewelry box.
The box has spaces for rings, for bracelets, for necklaces, and more. However, it appears that someone has ransacked it — leaving almost nothing behind.
“So you can see for real all my jewelry was stolen,” Britney Spears captioned her heartbreaking post about being robbed.
“It’s hard to buy new now,” she expressed, “because I’m scared it will go missing.”
Britney then explained: “So I buy it cheap and fake.”

Not all of the stolen items will be easy, or possible, to replace
“But it’s hard,” Britney then noted, explaining the emotional weight to being robbed of her jewelry.
She detailed: “because some of my pieces were originally made for me.” Those are irreplaceable.
“And,” Britney concluded, “my baby cross that I wore since I was 4 is gone … it’s so thin.”

As anyone who has experienced any kind of theft can attest, it is more than just a loss of belongings. It can change how you view others, and leave the victim feeling vulnerable and even paranoid. (Also, even if you replace a physical object, you can’t really replace a gift)
Sometimes, people know — or at least strongly suspect — who the culprit is.
Other times, the identity of the thief remains a mystery. Did someone break into Britney’s home? Or did someone she trusted pilfer her jewelry?

Britney doesn’t share who robbed her
Obviously, fans and (bewildering) non-fans alike have their theories about what criminal may have stolen from Britney Spears.
However, wild speculation is irresponsible. Anyone, from a burglar to a crazed fan to someone close to her, might have done this. Britney likely has better insight into those around her than any fan might.
We’d all love to believe that Britney simply misplaced her jewelry and will find it all again. But given that she made the post on Sunday and hadn’t taken it down even days later … one can only guess where her jewelry is now.
