They are filthy rich and famous and they live in huge mansions in Los Angeles. Their mansions have high walls, fierce dogs, security cameras and high-tech alarms, but a small team of burglars have got past all of them. In 2010, these burglars reportedly hit about 50 such mansions and escaped with an estimated $7 million of loot.

Police were clueless how the team comprising two or three members left no significant clues, no fingerprints, no DNA, no alarms triggered and only fuzzy camera shots. However, one thing the police was sure was that the team sported ski-masks and black clothing.

While these professionals have got away with their crime, there are others who are involved in what police describe as ‘opportunistic crime’ by drug addicts and other delinquents. According to a media report, such a break-in in Los Angeles happens very regularly.
