Crimes of Fashion

rachelbilsonteenrobbery.jpgFor those of you that might not follow celebrity news as closely as others, lately there’s been a rash of break-ins to celebrity homes including those of Rachel Bilson, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Orlando Bloom.

While this is not surprising in itself, given that there would likely be some very nice goods found in any of the above, what is surprising is the news of who allegedly committed the crimes and why—a band of teenage girls obsessed with clothing and jewelry. Talk about a new level of high school shenanigans.

According to police sources of the LA Times, the girls studied celeb magazines, television shows, and websites to pick out what clothing they wanted, cased the homes and stole their chosen items.

Seriously, that is (allegedly) a super creepy extreme to take your love of fashion. And this is coming from people who really love fashion.

Some people will do anything for fame/fashion. Some people starve some steal.

ha i thought maybe a lifetime movie would be made of this, but yeah, law and order will be faster to recreate.....either way, it is insanity to "shop via us weekly."

it's almost a good thing that this happened.

After all, if it was so easy for teen girls to enter these homes to merely steal things, it would have been just as easy for a scary stalker to do the same in order to harm someone.

I'm sure all these people are stepping up their security.

just saying.
