Victoria and David Beckham fell victim to a burglary while they were upstairs with daughter Harper.
Their £40million mansion in Holland Park, London, was targeted, according to reports.
The couple weren't aware that a thief had broken into their home, reportedly gaining access to the house through an upstairs window.
As reported in The Mirror, it was the Beckham's son Cruz that noticed someone had broken into their home after returning from a night out with pals.
A source told The Sun : "Sadly the Beckhams were the victims of some fairly professional thieves who have been operating in the area.
"Fortunately the criminals only made it as far as one bedroom before they ran off."
They added: "The thieves had broken through a window and darted straight back out of the same one with a small number of items. Luckily none had a huge amount of sentimental value to the family."
It's understood that police are analysing CCTV footage from the night.
It's claimed that 17-year-old Cruz alerted his footballer dad of the burglary, while David went on to ring 999 as he and Cruz searched their home.
Victoria reportedly stayed with their daughter Harper, 10.
The couple are said to be "shaken up" following the incident which took place at their family home.
The source claims footage shows the burglar "clambering over the gate at the front of the house, before breaking through a window of a spare bedroom".
David and Victoria have been victims of stalkers and kidnap threats in the past.
It is not known if the intruder had been disturbed, but it is believed he might have been in a gang which targeted at least two other nearby houses on the same night.
The famous couple spend most of their time holed up at their seven-bedroom West London home which they previously purchased for £31million back in 2013.
The stunning home contains two dressing rooms, a catwalk-style runway and also boasts a playroom, gym, spa area, salon-style room and underground car park.
It's believed they splashed a cool £8million on altering the mansion to their liking.
But it's not the only pad the Beckhams own together.
They also have a £6million Cotswolds estate, as well as property in Dubai and a luxury apartment in Miami.
