Sharon, 71, spoke about the robberies on Tuesday’s episode of her family’s podcast, The Osbournes.
Ozzy added: “But what they did was go into the room, take the big, good stuff and leave the bracelets so when you look in you don’t think about it,” to which Jack replied: “Just like a thief.”
Sharon then recalled an incident when she was staying at a hotel when her jewelry was stolen from her room.
“I was in a hotel room and I came up from the bar. I don’t even remember why I went up to the room, but it was around midnight,” he said.
And there were three guys outside the room, pretending to change the light in the hallway right outside our door.
‘And obviously I arrived… and they were looking at the light bulb because they were going to come into the room to rob us.’
Ozzy claimed they “went through everything,” and his wife added: “They took everything,” including a diamond ring that had been placed inside a sock.
Sharon soon called her office to file a claim for the theft, but discovered at that moment that someone in the office “forgot to pay the insurance.”
“I was so angry at myself, at everything,” she said, with Ozzy adding, “But then you’re like, ‘It’s over.’ Move on.”

Sharon agreed with her husband and told him, “You just have to do it, otherwise it will eat you up.”
She recalled another incident in which two housemaids “robbed us blind,” as well as a third situation that was “too painful” to comment on.
Twenty years earlier, in 2004, two burglars broke into his home in Buckinghamshire when Ozzy confronted a robber who managed to escape through a first-floor window.
During the incident, $2 million worth of jewelry was stolen, including Sharon’s wedding rings, watches and a 24-carat sapphire ring.
The couple held a televised press conference in November 2004 to publicly appeal for the return of the belongings and offered a £100,000 reward.
According Rolling StoneSharon said the robbery had made her “very angry.”
She added: “I’m sure a lot of people will look at us and say, ‘Well, they’ve got more, they can buy it back, there are more serious things going on in the world, who really cares? ‘”
“But the problem is that we have worked hard to get everything… Everything we have we have achieved with a lot of effort.”

Ozzy also spoke about his confrontation with one of the robbers.
“In retrospect, it could have been a lot worse. It could have been like George Harrison. I just thank God that nobody was hurt,” he admitted.
The late Beatles star Harrison was stabbed during a robbery at his Friar Park estate in 1999.
Elsewhere on Tuesday’s podcast episode, Sharon and Ozzy gave an update on their return to England.
“We’re trying to get a flight,” the singer explained, with Sharon adding: “Yeah, it seems like every time we’re ready to go, something happens with Ozzy’s health, and so we get there.”
“We’re really looking forward to getting back, but we’ll get there, won’t we, Ozzy?” she asked, prompting her husband to say, “Yes.”
Late last month, Sharon was forced to cancel a planned public appearance at the Mad Monster Party in Phoenix, Arizona, due to Ozzy being “unable to fly.” The event was set to take place from July 12-14.
He was scheduled to attend the convention with Jack and Kelly as well, but Sharon said he and Ozzy wouldn’t be able to make it and apologized to fans for the short notice.
