Before the days of uber security, the group of mainly young heisters were able to use Google Maps and various websites to find the homes of celebrities like Patridge and Paris Hilton and simply check their event appearance schedules to discover when they would not be home. From there the crew would break in or sometimes open unlocked doors and ransack the homes stealing cash clothing and jewelry either to be used by them or sold to others.

After facing the judge each member met different charges from short jail time and fines to several years of imprisonment.
