So I watched the movie last night and I have to admit it was interesting.
To fill you in. The Bling Ring is a movie based on a real series of robberies on celebrity homes by a group of teenagers from The Valley, a suburb of L.A. The alleged ring leader was a girl called Racheal. In the movie she was called Rebecca.
Anyway, the bling ring consisted of a a few girls and a guy and all of them were teens who wanted to see these homes, and own some of their stuff. Rachel seems like a klepto who had been arrested before for petty theft cause she stole some stuff from Sephora. They figured out through the net when these celebs would be away and used google earth to find out how to get past the gates and stuff. They would go out partying and some of them were into drugs and they drank and then would go to these homes. Paris was the first celeb place they ever hit and they chose her cause she was "dumb", they said. In fact, they found the key under her mat, but realised that they didn't need it cause the front door was unlocked anyway.
I had seen some news in 2010 when the REAL Bling Ring robbed Paris Hilton's place. They were a bit idolized by teens.
I've been around teens and kids who have a lot of money and wanna be seen.
I found the movie interesting and the group to be a bit "dumb". One of the members has her own blog and had her own reality show after being released from jail. She kinda got her wish of being famous.
Here is a link to a website about the group as well as the footage taken from Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton's house. Of course they had security cameras and the perps were caught. They were easy to find cause they posted a lot of pics on facebook showing the "stuff" and also cause they bragged about going to these homes at school... really guys? Really?
They never thought they'd be caught and weren't very careful.
Link to real footage and news as well as an interview of one of the bling ring members.
