Keanu Reeves Thanks FBI for Returning Valuables Stolen in 2023 Home Burglary

Keanu Reeves has been reunited with items that were stolen from his Los Angeles home, nearly two years after members of a Chilean crime ring made off with millions of dollars of the actor’s valuables.

In a Nov. 18 press release, the FBI said the stolen goods, which included a personalized Rolex watch valued at more than $9,000, were returned to the actor in August.

Reeves, 61, subsequently thanked the Los Angeles Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office and legal attaché office in Chile, as well as Chilean authorities, for their efforts in recovering his prized possessions.

“It is with profound gratitude and appreciation that I am writing this letter,” the actor shared in a handwritten letter, dated Aug. 28, 2025.

“Thank you so much for all your effort, dedication, professionalism and cross-border cooperation. My warmest regards.”

Six watches worth approximately $125,000 were stolen from Reeves’s Los Angeles home in December 2023, including the engraved Rolex featuring the words “The John Wick Five. Keanu Thank You. JW4. 2021” on the back.

The actor, who played the titular character in the “John Wick” film franchise, gifted similar customized watches to the handful of stunt performers he worked with while making the 2023 film “John Wick: Chapter 4.”

Hugo Haeger Bórquez, deputy director of police and criminal investigation for the Investigative Police of Chile (PDI), said in a December 2024 press conference that Reeves had lost nearly $7 million worth of items when his home was burglarized.

The PDI conducted raids on several homes in Santiago, Chile, in a joint operation with the FBI to target a South American theft group thought to be behind a string of burglaries in the United States.

A trove of valuables was recovered—including items that were stolen from the Los Angeles home of another victim in March 2023—which the PDI handed over to the FBI in July.

“This case underscores how crime today knows no borders, and how vital our international partnerships are in bringing justice to victims here in Los Angeles,” LAPD Chief of Police Jim McDonnell said in a statement.

McDonnell said the recovery of the stolen items sends “a strong message that organized theft groups will be pursued wherever they operate.”

Eduardo Cerna Lozano, director general of the PDI, echoed the sentiment, noting that the joint operation demonstrates an “ongoing commitment to the pursuit of transnational organized crime.”

“Thanks to coordinated efforts with the FBI and the Public Prosecutor’s Office, we were able to recover high-value items and make progress in dismantling a criminal organization operating in several countries,” he added. “International cooperation is key to confronting these types of threats that recognize no borders.”
