several residents have already gamely volunteered to have their residences used to lure unsuspecting crooks.

If I had some nefarious going ons that I needed to build a cover story for, I might volunteer.
Doesn’t advertising this sort of defeat the purpose?
Sounds like a sting. Isn’t that illegal? Entrapment?
I guess millionaires can get away with stuff.
Smart deterrance. They can pretend the police are in their homes protecting it, you just don’t know when.
So the police WILL do something about theft.
If you’re rich enough.
Police protection for me but not for thee.
Curry is a class 1 Ahole.
My friend lived in a big blue city, where cars parked on the street would often get broken into
People resorted to leaving cars unlocked, or putting signs on windows “no valuables inside car.”
This person I knew left such a note inside his windshield
He woke up one morning to find a cheeky thug had smashed his window, and also left a note “....just checking.”
Whutta laff
Atherton is across the highway from East Palo Alto which is basically a gang town that views its neighbors as hunting grounds.
It’s where they keep “the help”. Slowly gentrifying, but still way cheaper. And the rich folks be likin to have the po peeple nearby so they can have some virtue validation. Which, of course, is backfiring on them.
Zuckerpunk is the largest land owner there as he bought 5 houses around him as a buffer zone. Maybe he should just buy East PA and turn it into a Bentley parking lot.
The vote Democrat. They should open their underutilized homes to migrants.
I wondered who Steph Curry is.
Thought Stephanie might be a beautiful woman.
So I googled her.
I am so dissappointed.
Does that mean their electric walls will have to be turned off and their 24/7 security team will have to stand down. I find it hard to believe that people that make that much money and put it into likely in execess of 10 billion dollars after they furnish it, would leave it wide open for any fool to see they are gone on a trip and get into their property and steal. This means one of two things, either they have no conception of money due to making too much, or they are dumber than dirt about life.

What happens in the event that there is some sort of racial imbalance in those apprehended? This could backfire.
My six brothers, sisters and I grew up near Atherton. We had a small 2 bedroom 1 bathroom house. After our parents filled up the two bedrooms with kids, their bed was the foldout couch in the living room.
Going to school (elementary, middle & high school) with the Atherton children was different. Some of them actually had to perform for their allowance (we never had such a thing as an allowance). I was most amused when one of them would arrive at school on their birthday with a brand new Mercedes or Porsche.
From an early age, if we had a hand-me-down, thrift store bicycle, we would bike into Atherton and witness the grandeur of the mansions. Often, there were tall, thick walls. We would lean our bike on the wall, stand on the bike seat, and try to see over the wall. I remember one place in particular. Besides the large mansion, the grass in the front yard was larger than two football fields.
One day in high school, after my track meet, one of the cheerleaders said to whole track team “my parents are gone, let’s go to my place.” When we arrived at her Atherton abode, it was unbelievable. The “pool house” was larger than the house I grew up in. I remained near the pool house, not venturing into a mansion with 10? 20? bathrooms.
Back in our family home, some years were leaner than other years. I loved milk back then, and when we only had powdered milk, well, it wasn’t the same. With my 6 brothers and sisters, we were never bored. Our father fought in WWII, Korea and Vietnam as an Air Force pilot. Was shot down in Italy WWII, and Vietnam, but fortunately survived it all to come home to us. (We stopped watching the evening news when they kept showing Americans in body bags. We did not want to see dad in one).
Despite not having much, we had each other, and our parents were incredible role models. Love America, fight against communism, and we are, to this day, thankful for being born in the Greatest Nation on God’s Green Earth. We will fix and defeat the commies in our midst, and once again build that City On The Hill.
Home burglaries have become common around the SF Bay Area, especially in the more wealthy communities. It’s absolutely a product of illegal immigration.
A close relative of mine was burglarized even while he was at home. It gave him quite a scare, but not enough to blame Joe Biden, Gavin Newsom or their open borders insanity.
