Aussie TV personality Todd McKenney has gone on a social media rampage, claiming he feels “betrayed” after a cherished rug was stolen from his home while he was away.

Aussie TV personality Todd McKenney has gone on a social media rampage, claiming he feels “betrayed” after a cherished rug was stolen from his home while he was away.

On Monday, the 59-year-old revealed on social media that someone broke into his house and stole his New Zealand wool and silk rug — leaving everything else untouched.

“This rug was recently stolen from my house while I was in Melbourne, “ he wrote on Instagram.

“It’s a seriously big rug and not easy to move so I’m assuming it’s been taken by a thief who knew I was away for a week.

McKenney hinted the culprit may be someone he knows, adding “I can’t believe someone I know who has access to my house would do this, but … who knows?”

“It’s only a rug but it’s the betrayal I can’t get out of my head around.”

The rug was due to be auctioned with an estimated value of $1,500 to $2,500, and has been removed from the Lawson’s website after it was reported stolen.
