Both Asamoa Gyan and Mutari have my sympathy, especially, when they lost that much in the service of mother Ghana. However, and as Kwaku has questioned, why did the players leave such valuables in their hotel rooms and go to play? Could they not have given them to the hotel for safe keeping? Why did Gyan carry such huge amount of money on him (though that might be peanut by his standards)?
If the money is bonus paid to the players then that is also worrying. Why did GFA pay bonuses in cash in this day and age? The cash payment is susceptible to corruption and it carries with it huge risk of GFA having to cash and carry large quantities of money. The cash could be stolen as Gyan's money was stolen from his hotel room. I think a minister under Kufuor suffered such fate and had to be sacked and jailed. GFA must end this crazy system of cash payments. It must be done by either cheque or bank transfer.

Your assertion here is wrong. The theft happen while we were at the stadium. No bonuses could have been distributed by then. I was right there in the same hotel and saw when they were trying to figure out who had committed this shameful crime, In any case it is sad that this happened. Looks like the players were targeted. they were very well behaved throughout the weekend when I was there. I can assure you they weren't walking around showing off or doing anything pompous. Infact they mostly were quietly in their rooms waiting to do our country proud throught the weekend. Thanks guys, we are proud of you and your service to mother GHA.

These Players and even Joe Blows like us have insurance covering loss of properties in our mortgage payments or renters insurances and a loss of such properties will be reimbursed. Though these gentleman have money and will not inflate prices of lost properties or include properties not lost but a 35,000 price tag of a jacket makes you go hmmmmmm. I don't even think Bill Gates own any jacket with 35,000 price tag and I don't care how much money you have, buying a jacket costing 35,000Euros is stupidity.

My brother, if you break $10,000.00 into a $100.00 bills, that's just one wrap that will fit in almost every pocket. It's like putting together 100 notes of one dollar bill. Lot of Spanish guys in the USA carry more than that on them everywhere they go because they're not properly documented so they don't bank. One rents a room and lives in there with 19 more, though they sleep but are always half awake else a colleague steals their money.
My only concern in this theft case is the fact that players are aloud to keep that much money on them in B/Stars camp. Why should Gyan carry that much money to Ghana and still keep it while they travel around Africa? Ethiopia, Sudan, South Africa to Lesotho. This is absolutely insane.

Our folks and players should always remember that you never leave your valuables in a hotel but rather either leave them home or leave them at the courtesy desk to be rcorded in their books that way if anything happens the hotel is responsible.If you donot do that and you lose any valuable the hotel may not believe you and it becomes a tough one to resolve.So please advice yourself next time.

Why would anyone in his right mind carry such an enormous amount of cash on him? Hasn't Asamoah Gyan heard of a credit or debit card? I am really baffled. If you want to leave such valuable items in your hotel room, lock them up for crying out loud. I sympathise with these victims but they should know better.

You`re more than a useless human being. What`s wrong if he feels comfortable doing what he loves! If it were you, you would have done more than that.
THERE IS NO MENTION IN THE STORY THAT THE MONEY STOLEN WAS HIS BONUS.STOP FALSE ACCUSATIONS AND READ WELL BEFORE COMMENTING.
Your assertion here is wrong. The theft happen while we were at the stadium. No bonuses could have been distributed by then. I was right there in the same hotel and saw when they were trying to figure out who had committed th ...

Wanna be Texas King butcher at Espinay African maqrket in France, where have you seen a diamond shoe costing 200,000 Euros, you moron.
He is surprised because he is wise. Sensible people protect their valuable assets. There are millions of people who have tens of thousands of dollars. They don't carry their money around. They use credit cards and checks.
I know this jacket, it is slightly higher in quality than the 2013 SR5/TDR TOYOTA TACOMA
Don't think they will have insurance trust me not all these guys have brains to put things in order like wat white man will do insurance $10,000 could be true but the 35.000 euro is bullshit full of bullshit
The cost of the jacket is probably 3500 and not 35000, that is unheard of. Transpositional errors every where.

It is very sad indeed. What a blow. Luckily the CCTV footage can be used to grab this stooge of a thief. Or the hotel must bear the cost. No security for foreigners then it is dangerous to do any business in that country
35,000 euros for a small hole? They should have robbed Agyeman Badu too who was spreading girls in SA during Afcon. Idiots
It is a universal law in hotel industry that, customers check their valuables and leave them at the front office for safe keeping or the hotel cannot be held for any theft. These Players stay in hotels all the time and should ...

Oga, why? Prostitutes don't accept checks or credit cards? Apart from that, I don't see why anybody will carry that kind of money to Lesotho. For shopping? Don't think so.

this is fake news.
Please, prevent theft, get BANK-CARDS-AS-YOU-GO !
i dont see why a pro like Gyan shld carry 10000 on him instead of visa or master card,do have to live the way our ground parents did?a lesson for as all
Thats their profession. Dem thieves got to survive somehow and they like guys who are happy showing off-
The hotel must pay for every iterm stolen bcos its their resposibility to provid security to the players and their belongings.
OH WHY?
HOTEL NO GET SECURITY? STOP STAYING IN CHEAP HOTELS....
OKPOWURAH FRANCIS
My jacket cost 3500 euro
Hard luck guys ths is Lesotho nothing is to be found.
Why did they think it was necessary for them to carry all that much money and other expensive items with them on a football trip?
Were they trying to show off? Hopefully they have learned their lesson.
This is shameful. the hotel must be held responsible for this and pay back to the last penny!

As international travellers or persons who patronise hotels they should know that valuables are not to be left in hotel rooms that they are to be kept in the hotel front desk safe.
Some of these guys are daft.
Yes, you have to be daft to pay 35,000 for any kind of jacket.
The statement could be read as the jewelry and the bracelet included to that amount. So you guys to chill. After all it is his money and how he uses it is his own business.
Do you understand English where the language used is very clear about the price of the jacket? Where did you get this idea that the 35,000 include the price of bracelet or jacket?
It is his money as you said but it casts a ...

Too bad, but some of these players do things to show off without thinking. I sympathise with them, but I am also convinced that it will teach them some valuable lesson that money cannot buy..
