Posh and Becks "prisoners" in their own home



Did you know that Posh and Becks are getting continually harassed at home?
Actually, this David and Victoria Beckham are not living in LA, but in west Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The couple changed their names by deed poll from Gerard and Elizabeth Donnelly to David and Victoria Beckham a few years ago in honor of their heroes. At front of the house, they have a plaque which proudly displays the name of their abode, Beckingham Palace.
However, they have been forced to board up the palace and install CCTV cameras in a desperate bid to keep vandals away. All the ground windows have been smashed and the couple are so worried about further attacks that they said they will not be removing the wooden boarding that is currently securing the house.
“We are like prisoners in our own home and the house is almost in darkness, but we can’t take the chance of removing the boards and getting the windows smashed again," Becks told The Belfast Telegraph.
The couple hit the headlines in 2003 when they changed their names to David and Victoria Beckham, becoming mini-celebrities in Northern Ireland.

The Manchester United fans don't believe they have been targeted because of their football preference or their well-documented love of the Beckhams: They say they're victims of a major anti-social behavior problem in the area.
