Jon Bon Jovi was targeted in a string of burglaries in New Jersey recently -- in which a man allegedly jacked $100,000 worth of jewelry from the rock star's home.
21-year-old Nicholas Tracy was arrested on Wednesday -- after he allegedly tripped a burglar alarm in a neighboring house ... the latest in several homes the man is accused of pillaging.
All told, Tracy was charged with FOUR counts of third-degree burglary and three counts of second-degree theft -- after allegedly breaking into four separate homes ... and stealing more than $500,000 worth of bling.
Officials say all of the jewelry Tracy took from Bon Jovi's home belonged to the singer's wife.
Tracy's bail was set at $100,000.

For all the cheating on his wife he's done, she should have had a lot more, guilt and apology jewlery than that.

You know what? A decent safe only costs a couple of hundred dollars. Bolt it to the floor or wall and nobody will get a thing. Hey Hollyweird people, invest in a safe and an alarm system - THEN USE THEM!!!!!!!
LINDA
That's alright, he can afford to buy more because he doesn't pay property taxes! Another one that wants everyone else to pay more while he doesn't! GOOD GOING THIEF!
Sandra
Whatever!! You would think he could afford a very heavy safe !!
Eastender
whatever happened to the good ol days when you were rich you had a bolted down safe and one that would take hours and hours to get into. This guy sounds like he just opened up the jewelry cabinet and off he went. I expected more from JBJ.
