Formula 1 driver turned F1 analyst Jenson Button’s wife Brittny Ward has revealed they lost luggage worth 250,000 pounds during their time in London. She said that it contained two luxury handbags worth around 70,000 pounds and some antique jewellery, which she later realised had been put on sale, but she neither ever wanted to go back to London nor get her stuff back because it had changed so many hands.

Jenson Button’s wife opens up about the London robberyBrittny Ward has shared that the theft took place at the St Pancras station in London when they were loading the luggage into the car a day before Valentine’s Day. Opening up about the moment, she told Mirror in an interview, "I just started crying, I was a little upset with Jenson because I felt like he kind of dropped the ball a little but it's not his fault someone was watching us. He also did get his bag stolen a few months ago in a car park in London.”

She confirmed being cautious at all times but added, “I just didn't think that there were gangs literally just waiting for people and watching."

Brittny has now revealed that the thief was caught and is currently awaiting his sentence. “A lot of people assume, 'Your husband bought you those', but actually I bought about half of them and I worked really hard and to have someone come up to me and take them from me - it's just frustrating,” she added.

She wanted to pass them down to her daughter as a family heirloom. She said they have no desire of ever going to London, but she knows they will have to if something very important comes up.
