The 27-year-old strikerâs luxury home was targeted on Thursday while he was away on international duty with Holland.
A spokesman for Merseyside Police said: âWe are investigating a burglary at an address in Woolton, Liverpool.â
The raid follows a trend of footballersâ homes being targeted, often when they are playing matches.
The Merseyside home of Jerzy Dudek, Liverpoolâs goalkeeper from the 2005 Champions League final penalty shoot-out, was burgled in June 2006.
He was on holiday in Poland when thieves took his Porsche car, jewellery and football memorabilia, including his European Cup medal.
Reds defender Daniel Agger had his Wirral home burgled in September last year and striker Peter Crouchâs house in Alderley Edge was targeted in the same month while he was on England duty.
Pepe Reina was burgled while he played for Liverpool in last Mayâs Champions League semi-final against Chelsea.
The Spaniard helped secure Liverpoolâs place in the final by saving two out of three spot kicks in a penalty shoot-out.
He returned from the celebrations to find that his home in Woolton had been ransacked.
Jewellery, a Bang and Olufsen entertainment system, personal documents and a grey Porsche Cayenne with Spanish number plates were taken.
The Porsche was found burnt out in the West Derby area of Liverpool.
Everton winger Andy Van der Meyde was burgled twice last year, including one raid in which his pedigree puppy was taken.
Wayne Rooney also lost memorabilia, including his BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year trophy, when his parentsâ Liverpool home was burgled in July 2006.
