Open House Thefts
Just received this notification when I signed into the MLS this morning:
"Recently a number of thefts have occurred during open houses. In all reported incidents it appears to be two innocent looking women who pose as relatives who are looking at the home. One keeps the agent busy discussing the house in great detail while the second commits the theft..... In one case the agent's briefcase was stolen and the agent's credit cards were immediately charged. The second Glendale agent had several thousand dollars worth of the homeowner's jewelry and valuables stolen....Reports of the same occurrences are reported to have hit four houses in Pasadena and reports in Burbank. The Burbank police suggest it appears to be an organized ring committing the thefts."
