“I was at the ranch. I got a text message in the morning that said my front door in L.A. had been, you know. … The alarm had went off at 12:15 at night. And I was like, that’s weird. So, I checked my cameras and sure enough, two guys running out my front door, bags in their hands,” she said.
“And I immediately started bawling and this feeling in my stomach of like, holy s— I’ve just been robbed. And now it’s the panic of like, trying to check the other cameras, the angles, and to expedite the specifics.”

Thompson said she believes three guys jumped over her back fence, which she estimated to be about 15 feet and added to the house for an extra layer of security. She said the guys broke a window, setting off the alarms.
“These were professionals. They knew exactly how much time they had. They were only in there for four minutes,” she said. “They can take all that stuff. But the thing that they took to me that was the most valuable is my sense of security. And that’s not something I can go claim on an insurance form.”
