An £18 million house in the West Midlands Really? You could buy Walsall for that...

Not going to sign up for the sun for details........where does he live? Streetley for example is almost Sutton Coldfield and closer to Villa Park than Bescott. Bit of a bummer though - we could do with him being focused on football tomorrow

Could probably get a decent sized shed in Woodland Drive for 18m if he wants to move here permanently.

Valid point. He lives in Little Aston, apparently although I always thought that was the lead singer in JLS...

ASTON VILLA ace Darren Bent has been targeted by burglars who nicked two luxury cars worth £150,000 from his driveway.
An Audi RS 6 quattro and top-end Range Rover were both swiped during the break-in at striker’s £18m home in Little Aston, Staffordshire.

Cops say the thieves snapped a lock on a window before taking the two sets of car keys and driving off in the early hours of Saturday of Saturday morning.

Sergeant Richard Morris of Staffordshire Police said: “Thieves have devised methods of snapping these types of cylinder locks in a matter of seconds while still being able to operate the lock to open the door.”

Bent, 30, only made one start for Villa this season before moving to Championship side Brighton on loan.

At least if he's down here he can just stay somewhere safe like the Jury's Inn. Not much happens there.

I think the Sun have confused his £18million transfer! No way there is a house worth £18mill in Little Aston, doubtful if any are worth £1.8 million.

There's one or two in the £2-£3 million range.

This seems more accurate:-

The luxury home of Aston Villa’s £18 million striker Darren Bent has been burgled in the countdown to Christmas, with thieves snatching top-of-the-range cars from the driveway

There are plenty of million pound houses in little Aston and surrounding area as that's where most Villa & Blues players live also the famous Graham Taylor lives there.
