Former Top Gear and current The Grand Tour host Richard Hammond was burgled while vacationing with his family in Saint-Tropez, France. The family, who was sleeping at a luxury villa when the burglars broke in, believes sleeping gas could've played a part in the heist.

The Hammonds were staying in the villa with 12 other people, according to the Sunday Express. As a result, his wife Mindy thought it was them who made some noises on the night of the burglary, however, she now second-guesses just who she heard that night. According to her account, after hearing noises, she went downstairs to investigate and heard a door shut. She claims that behind the door was a male voice, who she presumed was one of their guests staying up late. But in reality, she now believes that it was theburglars conspiring, a thought that makes her "blood run cold".

The next morning, all 15 guests awoke to open bedroom doors. Reportedly, the guests didn't realize anything was actually missing until Hammond's daughter Willow couldn't find her watch. Shortly thereafter, Hammond suggested to check their wallets and purses and uncovered that cash and other belongings had been taken overnight.

After reflecting on the scenario, Hammond's wife fears that the Villa may have been infiltrated with anesthetic gas while everyone slept, enabling the criminals to traverse the house with ease.
