Security Breach or Neglect? Inside Brad Pitt’s High-Profile Home Invasion
BRAD PITT'S L.A. MANSION ROCKED BY DRAMATIC BREAK-IN: Neighbors Claim Security Was Compromised Days Before Raid
Tinseltown was left reeling when Hollywood A-lister Brad Pitt's luxurious Los Angeles mansion was burgled in the dead of night, with thieves making off with a haul of valuable possessions and leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. But what really has tongues wagging is that neighbors claim the security detail at Pitt's 2,100 sq ft home had gone MIA in the days leading up to the brazen break-in.
The Scholarly Note can exclusively reveal that since Pitt purchased the stunning property from oil heiress Eileen Getty for a cool $5.5 million back in March 2023, his neighbors have grown accustomed to seeing an unmarked private patrol car stationed right outside the actor's driveway. However, in the days prior to the June 25 burglary, this steady presence was nowhere to be found.
"I've lived next door to Brad for two years now," revealed one neighbor, whose home overlooks Pitt's property. "Ever since he moved in, there's always been a security car parked on the street, day and night. It suddenly disappeared a few days before the burglary, but we have no idea why."
With Pitt overseas promoting his new film, F1: The Movie (which, by the way, is already racing up the box office charts with an impressive $144 million global opening weekend), it's unclear whether the security team was simply on vacation or if something more sinister was afoot.
As The Scholarly Note reported earlier this week, three suspects allegedly broke into Pitt's home via the front window around 10:30 pm on June 25. They then proceeded to ransack the property, making off with some of Pitt's possessions and leaving his furniture overturned in their wake.
But it's not just the break-in that has neighbors talking – it's the perceived lack of community engagement from Pitt himself. "He keeps to himself when he's home," admitted one neighbor who lives directly next door to the star. "I've never spoken with him, nor have I ever seen him socialize with us. It would be nice if he invited the neighbors over so we could get to know each other."
In fact, some neighbors have even gone as far as to express disappointment that Pitt hasn't made more of an effort to connect with his community. "He's been living here for two years now, and it would help with community relations if he just said hello or invited us over," explained another neighbor.
Despite the drama surrounding the break-in, Pitt's glamorous girlfriend, 32-year-old jewelry executive Ines de Ramon (who he began dating in 2022), has been by his side throughout the press tour for F1: The Movie. And with his film already raking in the dough, it seems like Brad is having quite the summer.
The Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed that officers responded to an incident at Pitt's home on June 25 around 10:30 pm, and that three suspects are believed to have broken into the property via the front window before fleeing with miscellaneous property. An investigation is ongoing, but no further details have been released about the trio or their motives.
As The Scholarly Note continues to monitor this developing story, one thing is certain – Brad Pitt's Los Angeles mansion will be on high alert from now on!
