Paris Hilton: Burglary Victim

Posted on: December 29, 2008 at 11:42 a.m.

An estimated $2 million worth of jewelry and other belongings was stolen from the home of Paris Hilton.

The burglary occurred atHilton's Hollywood Hills home. The burglar, or burglars, got into the house through an unlocked door, according to LAPD sources. According to detectives, a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and glovesburglar-ed Hilton's bedroom, took unknown property and fled, said Officer April Harding.

LAPD sources said they do not believe at this time that the burglaryis connected to infamous burglaries that have beset the Westside and Hollywood Hills and cost many celebrities hundreds of thousands of dollars in jewelry and other valuables. In those cases, the two - and possibly three - men, clad in black and wearing ski masks and gloves, burglar-edmore than 70 homes in areas such as Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills and the hills above Encino, usually at night and often on weekends. The victims in those burglariesincluded former Paramount Pictures chief Sherry Lansing and her Oscar-winning director husband, William Friedkin, Clippers basketball star Cuttino Mobley, Duran Duran guitarist John Taylor and his wife, Juicy Couture President Gela Nash-Taylor, and country music stars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

A theft crime is a criminal act of taking another individuals personal property without the individuals consent. In California, theft crimes are classified as grand theft or petty theft. Petty theft is taking another persons property (valued at below $400) without the persons consent. In most cases, petty theft is considered a misdemeanor. Grand theft is taking another persons property (valued at $400 or greater) without the persons consent. Many grand theft crimes are considered felonies; which means that the offender can be sentenced with over a year of jail time if convicted.
