A source told The Sun: 'It's a very real possibility that these burglars have seen some of their posts.
'It's like a catalogue for would-be thieves, and even played a part when Kim Kardashian was robbed in Paris.'
'It's a horrifying incident for any family to go through, and John and Toni have been very shaken by this.'
The source said that the pair have hired extra security in the wake of the burglary.
It is believed that valuable jewellery was taken, with some pieces worth five-figures.
A spokesman for Surrey Police said: 'We can confirm that a burglary took place.'
Terry's wife, Toni, uploaded this photograph of their home as they were celebrating the festive period
Video footage posted on Toni's Instagram page earlier this week showed her skiing down a slope in the Alps
Another video posted on Toni's page showed off their kitchen and dining area as her children and husband played football together
John has three million followers on his Instagram page and Toni has 77,000.
Both their profile are open meaning anyone can see their photos.
Terry bought the £4.35million former mansion of golfer Colin Montgomerie in 2014.
He snapped up the seven-bedroom property after selling his nine-bedroom mansion, situated just a few hundred yards away.
He made a £10million profit by selling his luxury home to General Sultan bin Mohammed al-Naamani, a senior minister for the Arab state - who reportedly purchased it for his boss Sultan Qaboos bin Said.
