1. Paris Hilton

Paris herself is simply sure that her house attracts thieves like a magnet. But it's all about the carelessness of the socialite - she either leaves the doors of her mansion open, or hides the keys under the rug, hoping for video surveillance. In 2008 alone, Paris' house was robbed five times. During one of the thefts, in addition to cash, thieves took designer clothes and jewelry worth $ 2 million from the apartment of a wealthy heiress. And last weekend, the star was robbed right during a party she hosted at her home - the thieves took bikinis, handbags, photographs and other things out of Paris's bedroom. On the way from the mansion, someone scared the intruders away, and they threw the loot right on the street. Representatives of Hilton this time did not file a statement about the theft.

2. Lindsay Lohan

In 2009, Lindsay Lohan's Hollywood Hills home was broken into twice in three months. Fortunately, one robbery went wrong - the attackers were scared off. But during one of the thefts, the contents of the safe, clothes and jewelry worth a total of 170 thousand dollars were taken out of the actress's house. “The thieves didn’t even disdain personal belongings,” the actress’s representatives told the press. An official investigation was launched into the robbery. Soon, thanks to the recordings from CCTV cameras, the attacker was detained. It turned out to be 18-year-old Nicholas Prugo, who soon appeared before the court.

3. Orlando Bloom

In the summer of 2009, when Orlando left for New York on business, leaving his Hollywood mansion, an 18-year-old resident of Los Angeles “lightened” the actor by half a million. The case received wide publicity, since the girl at the time of her arrest participated in the popular reality show “Wild and Beautiful” (“Pretty Wild”). To speed up the term, the arrested Alexis Neyers pleaded guilty to theft and said that she was part of a gang of teenagers who committed a series of celebrity robberies. It was thanks to her sincere confession that the girl received only 6 months in prison, instead of the six years of imprisonment prescribed for such a crime.

4. Megan Fox

In the same ill-fated 2009, Megan Fox was also robbed. The incident occurred when the actress and her boyfriend Brian Austin Green were away. Among the missing items were mainly the actors' clothes, in particular, several dozen Megan T-shirts, as well as Brian's air gun. Despite such a minor "catch" of intruders, the theft received great publicity in the press, as it became one of a whole series of robberies of Hollywood stars by the same gang. The police soon managed to detain the fetish thieves and return all the stolen things to the couple of actors.

5. Kourtney Kardashian

During the "raid" of Hollywood celebrities' homes in 2009, the attackers did not spare the then-pregnant reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian. One day, returning home, Courtney found that the door to her mansion was forced open. As a result of the theft, the robbers then took jewelry and designer items from her house for a total of $108,000. As in other cases, the thieves operated in the absence of the owners of the house - during the robbery, Kourtney Kardashian herself was with her sister in Las Vegas on vacation.

6. Kirsten Dunst

Two years before the events described above, in 2007, Kirsten Dunst became a victim of a thief. Thieves made their way into the actress's apartment at the SoHo Grand Hotel in Manhattan, where the actress lived at the time of filming the next movie. At the time of the robbery, she herself was not in the room. Branded bags, one of which costs $13,000, $2,500 in cash, credit cards, documents, two digital cameras, a cell phone and a player became the prey of the criminals. The surveillance camera recorded how the criminals carried out the loot. Soon the police arrested the perpetrators.

7. Kate Moss

If all the crimes described above were committed when the owners were away, then in 2010 the London apartment of the English model was “encircled” right in her presence. Moreover, during the abduction, not only Kate and her boyfriend were at home, the 59-year-old mother of model Linda was also there. As a result of the theft, the star family lost three expensive pieces of art. Among them was also a portrait of Moss, made by underground artist Banksy. The cost of this painting is estimated at about 80 thousand pounds. The 24-year-old attacker was soon arrested

8. The Beckham family.

More than once, other British celebrities, the Beckham star family, were also robbed. Victoria's mother, Jacqueline Adams, sounded the alarm after noticing the Beckhams' belongings were showing up one after another in online auctions. As a result, $5 million worth of designer clothes and jewelry was found missing. The main suspects were housekeepers with an impeccable reputation, who had worked in the house for ten years. And in December 2007, the robbers "pulled" the singer's things straight from the dressing room. Then the losses amounted to several tens of thousands of dollars. Among the stolen items were two pairs of shoes worth $11,500 each and a red Roberto Cavalli dress.

9. Axl Rose

In early June 2012, unidentified individuals stole $200,000 worth of jewelry from the dressing room of Guns N' Roses leader Axl Rose, who was performing at a private concert in Paris. The incident occurred during a performance by a rock band at the Bercy Sports Palace in Paris. Three gold necklaces with diamonds have disappeared from the singer's dressing room.

10. Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel

While the famous actress Monica Bellucci and her husband Vincent Cassel were away in May 2009, unknown people robbed their Parisian apartment. Jewelry, laptops, Monica's passport and other things were taken out of the apartments in the east of the French capital. Damage totaled $112,000.

11. Julianne Moore

The scandal surrounding the robbery of a famous Hollywood actress flared up in May 2012 - thieves took out a tidy sum of jewelry from her New York house. According to the actress, 10 luxury items are missing, seven of which are from one of her favorite brands, Cartier. The stolen jewelry included four Cartier watches worth $77,800 and a platinum bracelet with diamonds from the same brand worth $33,000.

12. Courtney Love

The scandalous Courtney was robbed in 2001. The incident took place in Canada, after which the singer said that "her legs will no longer be in Vancouver." Then, from the hotel room where Love stayed, the thieves took out a lot of jewelry: rings and diamond bracelets from boyfriends. The biggest loss was, of course, the engagement ring that Courtney was given by the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

13. Robbery at the Cannes Film Festival 2013

In May of this year, there was a scandalous robbery - celebrities were left without jewelry. Chopard jewelry was stolen from a hotel room. Jewelry was meant to be rented to actors and actresses to shine on the red carpet. The police valued the stolen money at $1 million. The situation is made even more curious by the fact that at the time of the robbery, the same film by Sofia Coppola “Elite Society” was being shown at the festival.

14. Anastasia Volochkova.

This collection will not do without domestic stars. They, too, have been repeatedly deprived of their property, although our stars cannot boast such significant losses compared to Hollywood celebrities. But the incident with Volochkova caused the greatest resonance in the press. According to the ballerina, in April there was an attack on her house. According to Anastasia, the robbers broke into the ballerina's house, beat and tied up the servants and took out safes with money and jewelry. Volochkova claims that her husband organized the crime.
