There are perhaps no more famous celebrity crooks than the 'Bling Ring,' a group of California teenagers who looted the homes of several Hollywood hotshots from 2008-2009. Their most generous victim was blonde-haired, blue-eyed debutante Paris Hilton, who had around $2 million worth of personal property stolen from her Hollywood Hills mansion.

Among Paris' pilfered possessions were several designer bras and a bottle of Grey Goose vodka. But even more shocking than what the Bling Ring stole is how they were able to do it.
