 There's certainly worse crimes happening in the city of Los Angeles, but regardless, it is a crime, and it is dangerous. And I've had neighbors with break-ins when they're home.

Police have not said whether any of the break-ins are connected, and no arrests have been made.

Anyone with information is asked to call the L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-222-TIPS.
