Here is just an incredibly odd story involving a Korean-American living in Las Vegas:

Video footage of one of the break ins.

A young woman broke into the homes of Hollywood celebrities she admired, including Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Audrina Patridge, because she wanted to own their designer clothes and jewelry, an informant told police.

According to a Las Vegas police search warrant obtained by The Associated Press on Friday, Nicholas Prugo told Los Angeles police detectives that Rachel Jungeon Lee was the “driving force” behind the break-ins.

Prugo told police Lee, 19, would suggest a target, then Prugo would trawl the Internet for information about where they lived and when they would be away from home. Las Vegas police were involved because Lee lives there.

Police say the pair was part of a group of at least six that stole from October 2008 until September.

After watching a house, they would break into the poorly protected properties, often by simply walking through unlocked doors.

Prugo said they removed cash, narcotics and thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, including family heirlooms.  [Associated Press via reader's tip]

This undated file photo released by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department shows Nicholas Frank Prugo.

Make sure to read the rest of this bizarre story, but Lee’s dad was also in on the crimes by giving his daughter guidance on how to avoid police detection.  Lee’s dad also gave Prugo advice to join the military to avoid getting caught.  It appears that he must still believe the propaganda that you can get away with committing crimes if you join the military.

What I find most interesting about this is not that some punk teenagers are committing theft, but that these celebrities leave their homes as such easy targets for a bunch of amateur thieves like this group.
