And everyone thought billionaires had an easy life. In the words of Notorious B.I.G., "Mo' money, mo' problems."

Reports say that Ecclestone and his Brazilian girlfriend, Fabiana Flosi, was confronted and ordered to remove approximately $300,000 worth of jewelry. When all was said and done, Ecclestone was left with a head injury and Flosi was "shaken."

Would you want to pick a 30 year old guy who can defend himself?

This is a clear sign that bernie knows nothing about the real world where he clearly lives nowhere near. His decisions made apparently for F1's benfit have been, by and large hurtful to the sport, and here we have it the decisions he makes in his personal life are hurting him. Now, let me ask the obvious question. You were walking in a national capital with 300,000 worth of goodies and expect to not get robbed? Where does he think he is? Havana?!?

He was in Knightsbridge, an area were people wear watches / Jewelry worth over 1 million without security/bodyguards.

Key here is probably FAME.

His face is seen on UK TV all year long so theives would easily conclude he is prime target.

All i see every time i am in Knightsbrige is $30,000 USD Handbags and $150,000 USD WristWatches

Judging from the pic which screams, "I'm a "soft" target and you know I'll pay. Heck just look at my girlfriend!", I can see him getting hit several times a week.
