The woman discovered this after checking the video footage from their home security system: a frightening man with a lock-pick in hand and his face hidden by a mask was caught on the cameras.

Fortunately, the incident ended well for the family. Adamyan called the police, and the thieves were scared off.

"Two masked men tried to break in while I was home alone with Levi. It was the worst five minutes I've had in a long time, and I’m just glad the police arrived quickly," Anna wrote on her Instagram.

It seems the thieves were aware that Adamyan had a match against Hertha later that evening, so they anticipated no one would be at the house at that time and planned to take advantage of the situation.

But their plans were foiled, and it's clear that both the young mother and the footballer are feeling very shaken by the event. Now, it will be difficult for them to feel safe even in their own home.
