Mysteriously Vanished Security Linked To Brad Pitt’s $5.5M Mansion Raid

Brad Pitt’s Los Angeles home was recently broken into while he was out of the country promoting his new movie “F1: The Movie.”

The $5.5 million mansion in Los Feliz was ransacked late at night, with burglars smashing a window to get inside.

In the wake of the event, the missing security team reportedly hired to guard the property is raising serious questions.

Neighbors say the private security car that usually watches the property hadn’t been seen for days before the break-in. Now, many are wondering if the timing was just a coincidence or something more planned.

The locals in the Los Feliz neighborhood have weighed in on the burglary at Brad Pitt’s home, and according to them, security may have been compromised.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, they confirmed that an unmarked private security vehicle had always been stationed outside since the actor bought the property in 2023.

“Ever since Mr Pitt moved in two years ago there was always a security car in the street, day and night,” one neighbor told the outlet.

However, they confirmed that in the days leading up to the raid, the vehicle and the guards inside went missing.

“It suddenly disappeared a few days before the burglary, but we have no idea why.”

Reports confirmed that the property was violently broken into on the evening of June 25 at approximately 10:30 pm.

According to an LAPD spokesperson, the suspects scaled the perimeter fence and smashed a front window before proceeding to ransack the home.

The thieves took an unknown amount of miscellaneous property but left no immediate evidence of what they had taken.

Following the incident, adequate security measures were immediately put in place. The Daily Mail reported that regular security returned the following Monday, as a male guard was spotted in a small black car outside the property.

Also, it appeared that security was strengthened as a second vehicle, a black Prius, was also parked at the top of Pitt’s steep driveway.

In the aftermath of the tragic incident, the CSI team wasted no time jumping into action.

Pictures obtained by the Daily Mail showed the CSI team meticulously examining every corner of the lavish estate.

Dressed in protective gloves and carrying forensic kits, investigators were photographed entering and exiting the home while others carried toolkits and evidence bags back and forth.

Inside the home, it appears the intruders tore through several rooms, scattering Pitt’s belongings across the floor and overturning furniture in what seemed to be a frantic attempt to locate valuables.

A source told the LA Times the thieves appeared to be “looking for what they could take of value.”

Pitt’s $5.5 million home in Los Feliz, known as The Steel House, is a beautifully restored mid-century modern property he bought from oil heiress Aileen Getty in a private sale in March 2023.

Designed in 1960 by architect Neil M. Johnson, the three-bedroom, two-bath house sits on a 0.29-acre lot and covers just under 2,100 square feet.

The home has a simple, open design with floor-to-ceiling windows, terrazzo floors, a flat roof, and a large double-sided fireplace that connects the living and dining areas.

Most of the rooms overlook a pool and patio surrounded by lush greenery.

Inside, the home still features unique touches, such as blue carpets in the bedrooms, light blue cabinets in the kitchen, a redwood hot tub, and a freestanding sauna.

Originally restored by Maroon 5’s James Valentine and designer Mark Haddawy, the house blends classic style with comfort.

Despite being one of the most popular celebrities, Brad Pitt is a quiet neighbor who keeps to himself whenever he’s home.

During a chat with the Daily Mail, neighbors revealed they had never interacted with the star.

“It would be nice if he invited the neighbors over so we could get to know each other. He hasn’t spoken with us at all in the two years he’s been living here,” one said.

They continued, highlighting the importance of the 61-year-old establishing a good relationship with his neighbors.

“It would help with community relations, and perhaps we could exchange phone numbers with him so he knows what’s going on and be part of the neighborhood watch,” they explained.
