Celebrity Break-Ins: Who Dunnit?

What's worse, the robbers aren't hardened criminals at all; a coterie of well-to-do teenagers from the Hollywood Hills is suspected of burglarizing Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom and other stars. Members of "the Burglar Bunch," as the press calls them, were arrested in October, pleaded not guilty and are awaiting trial. After photos appeared of the teens wearing what looked to be some of the stolen jewelry, they better have Perry Mason as their attorney.
Here's who else has been broken into in the past year--and what they lost.
Celeb Burglaries
Reality star and Calabasas shop owner Kourtney Kardashian is no stranger to intruders; her shop, DASH, was burglarized in May of this year. Looks like lightning does strike twice, as Kourtney's Calabasas condo suffered a break-in on October 18th.

TMZ lists some of the items missing from the break-in: "Kourtney's Cartier watch worth around $30,000, an expensive Rolex owned by her boyfriend, multiple diamonds including diamond hoops. And, worst of all, she's missing some vintage jewelry her dad, Robert Kardashian, left her."

No Doubt front-woman Gwen Stefani was in Singapore with the band when her London mansion was burglarized. The attempt was unsuccessful, as Stefani is still a "Rich Girl."

OK magazine reports that the "thieves broke into a flat that Gwen rents to Dame Elizabeth Forgan, head of the Arts Council, but were unable to get into Gwen's apartment." Must have been a "Sweet Escape."

Reality star Audrina Patridge stole a few hearts of her own in a scantily-clad bikini for a Carl's Jr. advertisement, yet it looks like the tables have turned. Jewelry from Audrina's Hollywood Hills home was stolen earlier this year. Payback is hell.

As of Oct 20th, eighteen-year-old Nicholas Prugo was charged with the break-ins of Audrina's burglary. Don't worry, boys -- the bikini is still in tact.

Party girl Lindsay Lohan reported an apparent burglary in her Hollywood Hills home in August of this year, shortly after she herself was accused of stealing $2 million dollars worth of jewelry. Hmm... I smell a scandal?

Lindsay's father Michael confirmed the burglary to TMZ and it was later noted that three teenagers were caught on surveillance camera. Sounds like deja vu. In May, Lindsay's home was victim of a similar break-in, yet no charges were made. Looks like in addition to forgetting her nightly underwear, she sometimes forgets to lock the front door.

Everyone's favorite pirate Orlando Bloom suffered a break-in to his Hollywood Hills home last July (and no, Davy Jones wasn't named as a prime suspect).

According to the LA Times, $500,000 in jewelry, cash and art was stolen from Orlando's home. Although no charges were made, the suspect was very familiar with Orlando's property. Hmm. I know a few gals that would like to be very familiar with Orlando's, umm, property.

unfortunately the accounts they use to spam with are usually hacked.
some poor fellow clicks a link and gets a virus that either redirects him to a fake aol screen or just takes it from his password manager.
I was hacked ten years ago and the spammer sent out hundreds of e-mails using my login. took weeks to sort out.

At least the girl burglar was considerate enough to throw up and pee outside Orlando Bloom's house. Gross would have been doing that on the carpet or furniture.
