LA is becoming more dangerous according to a real estate agent. The speaker decided not to tour a condo due to break-ins and car robberies in the area. The agent mentioned their building is new but still gets broken into 3-4 times a year. The speaker expressed concern about paying $6,000 to get robbed multiple times a year. The agent said this is the new normal in LA, despite being in a good area near UCLA, country clubs, and a mall. It seems getting robbed is now common in LA, and nowhere is safe.

A man with a gun stole watches from a group at a Williamsburg restaurant and another man's watch in Manhattan. At a Chinese restaurant in Williamsburg, two men held up the entire place with a gun.

Mequon residents are reporting a pattern of burglaries tied to a single group described by local authorities. Video from trail cameras in Mekwan shows people wearing backpacks and gloves with their faces covered, creeping through the woods. Mequon Police Captain John Hale says investigators believe the same group has broken into about a dozen homes there this year, and he notes that burglaries of this type are occurring not only locally but throughout the state and the United States. When asked about the organization, authorities indicate that the group is “from South America and then they're coming up here to commit these crimes.” In Mequon, the police describe the method as the burglars walking through the woods and approaching houses from the backyard. They gain entry by breaking a door or window and tend to target homes in cul de sacs during the early evening hours from Thursday through Sunday, times when no one is home. The items being stolen are listed as jewelry, currency, and high-end handbags. The description suggests a specific pattern of valuables being taken from homes in these incidents. Video from last year shows a break-in at Bucks forward Bobby Portis’s River Hills home, and investigators believe a Chilean crime group is behind that break-in as well as multiple others at professional athletes’ homes across the country. There is a high probability that these burglaries are connected within the same network. Mequon police are warning homeowners to activate their security systems, noting that surveillance cameras may deter the burglars. They believe that at least one camera was detected by the would-be burglars, who subsequently left the scene.

Crooks in California are stealing fire hydrants, particularly around Los Angeles. Over 300 hydrants have been stolen in the past year, prompting companies to install locks and new welds to prevent further thefts. The motive behind these thefts is the value of the brass components, which contain copper and zinc, both of which have seen price increases. Since the start of 2023, around 85 hydrants have been taken. While the brass nozzles are valuable, the majority of the hydrant is made of less valuable scrap iron, raising questions about the cost-effectiveness of these thefts.
