Chris Hemsworth Burgled: Armed Men Steal 3 Cars From Australia Home

Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky had their Australian home broken into last week when armed men entered their garage and stole three vehicles during the night. The cars—a BYD electric vehicle, a Ram truck, and a Ford Ranger Raptor Ute—were later recovered and returned after a police investigation conducted by the Northern Rivers police.

Officers were alerted early Wednesday and found that four unidentified individuals had entered the property and made off with the vehicles. Pataky, a Spanish actress and model who gained fame in the "Fast & Furious" film franchise, was asleep in the house at the time and only woke up to the sound of barking dogs around 2 a.m. local time, choosing to return to sleep instead of investigating the break-in.

The next morning, the missing vehicles were discovered to be gone, with CCTV footage showing the four men scaling the property's fence while wearing balaclavas; two of them carried knives. Two of the stolen cars were eventually recovered, one located a distance away from the home and the other two hours away. TMZ reported that the third vehicle was found on Thursday.

Hemsworth and his family had moved from Los Angeles to Australia a few years back, citing a desire for a more spacious suburban environment for their children. They now reside in a farm-like setting on the coast of Australia, which Hemsworth described as the ideal choice for their family in a 2016 interview.
