In case you ever wanted to be famous, just so you know, these kids have got the right idea. Hang out in Hollywood looking fabulous, rob from the rich on the sly, and oh yeah, by the way– get your mug shot on TMZ and land a reality show by any means possible. Sound like rich kids gone bad? It is, and we love it.
The New York Times reports:
The group, most 18 and 19 years old, used celebrity Web sites, according to investigators, to figure out when their victims — a roster of young Hollywood that also includes Rachel Bilson of “The O.C.,” Ashley Tisdale of “High School Musical” fame and Audrina Patridge of “The Hills”— would be attending premieres and other events and would therefore not be home.
In the stars’ homes, burglars helped themselves to Rolex watches, Louis Vuitton bags and other baubles featured in celebrity magazines, authorities say.
Six accused members of the ring have been charged with residential burglary and other crimes, including one, Alexis Neiers, who was arrested on the set of a reality show pilot she is filming for E! with her sister Tess Taylor, a Playboy model.
Seriously, you gotta read the whole story for this one– it’s gonna blow your mind. These kids may be fame-chasing spoiled thieves, but we have a real soft spot for them. Go on with your bad selves, you Bling Burglars you.
