Celebrity Robberies : Top 12 Celebrity Robberies And Break-Ins Robbing The Rich

Robberies are never fun events-at least for victims! One of the most emotionally-draining incidents that can happen to you is to come home and realize that an intruder has not only broken into your house which you felt was secure, but has also stolen some or all of your most-prized possessions that you purchased for with your hard-earned money. Despite the fact that many celebrities spend lots of money on home security systems, they have never been able to keep thieves out of their reach. One reason could be the fact that they are celebrities, which means that they are constantly followed day in and day out by paparazzi who take pictures of them wearing expensive clothing, driving choice cars and dazzling in jewelery and fashion accessories that are worth millions of dollars. So there are some members of the public who feel drawn to their lifestyles and are tempted to steal from them. And even though they can afford expensive home security systems, they still have to contend with added traffic to their neighborhood which makes them susceptible to robberies and break-ins. But celebrity break-ins do not just happen randomly. They are usually well-planned and the burglars always choose their targets carefully based on worth and ease of access to their homes. They may be able to estimate the worth of their potential victims from what they see in magazines: the wristwatches, the designer clothing, the Bentleys, the Porsches or the Maseratis that line the driveways provide an indication of how wealthy celebrities as well tip off the criminals as to which homes they should rob. In this list, all the celebrities are victims of home burglaries with property theft between $5000 and $2 million. Many of the celebrities have either told the police or the courts that they are not really worried about the monetary value of the stolen items, but what they are worried about is the effect of the robberies on their peace of mind. Many burglars have been caught on video footage but this hasn't stopped a lot of other people from trying their luck. A lot of times, when the criminals are apprehended, the stolen property is not returned to the victims. But the good thing is that they are celebrities and that the lost valuables do not necessarily have any effect on their financial worth. In the discussion of celebrity break-ins, one group of criminals gained notoriety and operated between 2008 and 2009. They were known as The Bling Ring and also went by other names such as Hollywood Hills Burglar Ranch. The Bling Ring is a group of eight teenagers and a young adult based in and around Calabasas, California. They broke into the homes of Hollywood celebrities and carted away belongings and cash up to 3 million dollars between a period October 2008 and August 2009. Over 2 million dollar worth of the stolen properties belonged to Paris Hilton, whose house was attacked several times even though many homes as much as fifty were reported to be target for potential burglary.
