Bookmaker and Liverpool FC partner Paddy Power caused a predictable outrage when they opened betting on "the next Liverpool player burglary whilst they are playing".

Take a minute to soak in what a stupid, yet tastelessly hilarious idea that was.

As you can probably guess, betting was quickly shut down after the club found out about it and some fans contacted Merseyside Police, who probably weren't too keen on the idea of giving burglars even more financial incentive to rob players, considering it's already happened more than a dozen times, including the 2007 incident where Steven Gerrard's wife was held at gunpoint during a burglary while he was away for a Champions League match.
