Security agencies say wealthy clients are increasing protective measures: "They want someone who knows how to get them out of any situation."
One of Peele’s clients has purchased three bullet-proof cars in the last couple of months, while another located a company in London to replicate his luxury watches. “This guy will take a $200,000 Rolex and copy it, using stainless steel and other metals, so it looks like the original but costs maybe $2,000-$3,000 per watch. So, in the event that it’s stolen, the client is out a lot less money,” says Peele.
His Hollywood clients are securing 24-7 security details, installing more cameras, adding barbed wire on top of fencing on their properties, and calling for armed security prepped in defensive driving to pick them up when their private jets touch down. “They want someone who knows how to get them out of any situation,” he says..."
I don't get spending $200,000 on a watch. I don't even understand spending $2,000 on a watch. Since smart phones, does anyone even wear watches anymore?
Waiting for someone to start installing that South African flame thrower on cars.
These are last ditch defense measures.
Let the police and DAs do their jobs.
A. No.
They should be required to hire 12 illegal immigrants to guard their houses.
Does anybody really know what time it is?
You gotta just love that.
Sounds like it is looking more and more like Mexico and 3rd world countries with houses/ estates walled off with barbed wire and gates and armed security constantly patrolling.
Good one.
But hire 12 more to keep an eye on the first 12.
What about more calls for "defund the police" ??
Lemme get this straight. You mean observe law and order, support your local police, allow stop and frisk and searches of vehicles in high crime neighborhoods and put criminals in prison with mandatory sentencing?
Sounds good to me.
A couple of decades ago I used to play a lot of poker at Commerce Casino. Smallish stakes but I enjoyed it. A guy in the poker room sold $20 Rolex replicas. He sold them in the smoking room, sometime after they banned indoor smoking but still had a room to smoke in without having to go outside. They seemed decent quality to me. Sweeping second ticker, green sticker on the back. Over time I collected a bunch of them. Still have ‘em here somewhere. I quit smoking, too.
Many years ago, I was sub-letting a house from a friend in an upscale part of DC.
Someone had given me, as a gag gift, a couple fake rolexes they bought in Taiwan - totally gaudy - covered in fake diamonds, fake gold, etc. etc. At the time probably cost about $100.
House got broken into. Not much to steal, except a VCR - and the fake Rolexes. The thief probably thought he was going to score enough crack for a year.
Anything but putting the bastards in jail right.....can’t have that now can we.
Does anybody really care?
Not since I retired, I dont
This should provide a boost for the economy. Crime is profitable, at every level, including politicians.
“Estate manager Bryan Peele, president and founder of the L.A.-based Estate Managers Coalition, told THR that his clients have “fully equipped safe rooms that they can live in for a few days, if necessary, that are completely hard-wired with phone cables, Internet, everything.”

Jamie McBride, head of the union representing LAPD officers, said he can’t guarantee personal safety. His warning came with a movie reference.
“My message to anyone thinking about coming to Los Angeles, especially during the holiday season, is don’t,” Jamie McBride, the head of the LA Police Protective League, the union representing LAPD officers, said in a television interview. The message from McBride comes as what many residents and business owners view as a wave of crime slamming the city and surrounding areas.
“We can’t guarantee your safety. It is really, really out of control. I said it to people before, it’s like that movie ‘Purge,’ you know, instead of 24 hours to commit your crime, these people have 365 days to commit whatever they want,” McBride said.
The head of the Los Angeles Police Department’s union has a message for tourists planning a trip to the city this holiday season – don’t do it. Don’t go to Los Angeles. That’s quite a message coming from the second-largest city in the United States. The rising crime rate running rampant across the country is hitting Los Angeles especially hard.

Victor Davis Hanson: Third-Worldizing America
Authored by Victor Davis Hanson, op-ed via Townhall.com,
It’s called Third Worldization! It’s the utter breakdown of the law, and the ability of the rich within such a feudal society to find ways to avoid the violent chaos.
Neistat was right in identifying a pandemic of crime in Los Angeles as Third Worldization. In a recent online exchange, YouTuber, Casey Neistat vented his anger after his car was broken into and the contents stolen. Los Angeles, he railed, was turning into a “3rd world s***hole of a city.”
The predictable role of the smug, indifferent Third World rich, who master ignoring – and navigating around – the misery of others in their midst. In a medieval-type society of two rather than three classes, the rich in walled estates rarely worry that much about thievery. Crime is written off as an intramural problem of the poor, especially when the middle class is in decline or nonexistent.
Such impoverishment pales in comparison to the encampments of present-day Fresno, Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Francisco. Tens of thousands live on sidewalks and in open view use them to defecate, urinate, inject drugs, and dispose of refuse.
Violent crime is soaring in America. Two things are different about America’s new criminality.
• One is the virtual impunity of it. Thieves now brazenly swarm a store, ransack, steal, and flee with the merchandise without worry of arrest.
• • Second, the Left often justifies crime as a sort of righteous payback against a supposedly exploitative system.
So, the architect of the so-called 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, preened of the riotous destruction of property during the summer of 2020: “Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence.”
Third Worldization reflects the asymmetry of law enforcement. Ideology and money, not the law, adjudicate who gets arrested and tried, and who does not.

Fox News: California city/Walnut Creek boosts security budget by $2 million after ‘criminal mob’ ransacks after Nordstrom’s @ Walnut Creek was rocked by a smash-and-grab mob last month!
https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-walnut-creek-security-police-2-million
It’s the leniency of politicians like California Governor Gavin Newsom/Gruesome which is ultimately responsible for the descent into barbarism and this organized looting/piracy with masses of looters.
This organized massed looting is similar to a problem our forefathers had at one time. It was called piracy. They shot or hung pirates and then sank their ships with the pirates on board.
That worked for about 3+ centuries until George SoreA$$’s Elites’ took over our blue states, cities, mayors, local and state attorney generals, governors and often, the local police chiefs.
This has allowed George SoreA$$’s elites and his well funded BLMers to have free reign over many blue cities and states and now, the plundering of the Nordstrom’s in Walnut Creek.
Forget It, Jakes/Janes! Relax! It’s Now, Not Even Your City/Town/County nor State, any more!
George SoreA$$’s elites control everything now from your schools to the stores where you send your kids and try to buy things.
Even, If you didn’t vote for this, it doesn’t matter!
Your votes were probably not counted nor have been counted for decades, if ever!
