'They knew I was at an Oscars party': Audrina Patridge shares her terrifying experience with Bling Ring Burglars
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Audrina Patridge shared her terrifying experience with the infamous Bling Ring Burglars.
The TV personality made an appearance on the ‘Broad Ideas with Rachel Bilson & Olivia Allen' podcast where she recalled when the celebrities were in danger by a group of five young people from Los Angeles.
Who were the Bling Ring Burglars?
The Bling Ring Burglars have caused havoc and committed multiple crime sprees between 2008 and 2009.
“They took trash bags of stuff. They knew I was at an Oscars party, and they knew that because I tweeted it, but then I had cameras and my cameras are the ones that caught their [Nick Prugo and Rachel Lee] faces and I posted it on my website, and said if anyone knows of these people let me know,” Patridge said.
She continued that “nothing” could be retrieved that was stolen as she also lost her aunt’s vintage Chanel watches and other experience items. To which, Bilson said, it “was so f***ed up.”
“I just got back from Australia. I co-hosted the VMAs or something out there. So everything was still packed, got home, changed, and then I went to the party and came home and I was like, ‘Am I losing my mind?’ My suitcase is gone, my laptop, everything is off my bed. Like, what is going on?” she recalled.

Patridge added, “And then I went in my closet and I called my sister and I was like, ‘OK, if I open my jewelry box and stuff is gone, someone is in my house,’ and I opened it, everything was gone. And so that’s when I locked myself in [the closet], ‘cause I didn’t know if they were still in the house. … Afraid to get off the phone so I had my brother call 911 while I was on speaker and then they sent the cops.”
The star further said that “she went and stayed with my mom in Orange County for a while. I was like, I don’t wanna be in that house,” as per Hollywood Reporter.
