If you have valuables then hire private security to guard it if you are not there. I don't understand why the rich celebrities don't do that? ...or do they?

You'd think they would have private security when they're not there.

 

That's what they're going to need to do for these sales otherwise there won't be any more in person sales only online.

thoughts---i would wonder if it's an inside job of some kind. either employees or feeding info to friends, etc. Don't most big estates have security already? cameras, alarms, etc. why not post security just before addresses are posted?  Sounds like it could be an organized ring, that maybe police are already aware of.

You would think the companies would keep a group of portable cameras and set them up at each sale.

 

And that's what the police are thinking that it is an organized ring.

Within a month of my dad's death, someone registered a business at his address. We already had a lawyer for probate and he got it stopped in a flash.
