Conniving “burglary tourists” are coming from other parts of the world through a visa program and targeting luxurious homes in the US — with some even using ghillie suits as they wait for the perfect time to strike, one prosecutor told CNN.

Police and prosecutors in different high-end communities are trying to keep up with international heist rings that come into the nation, loot pricey items from wealthy homeowners and sell the swiped goods with the money sent back to their home countries, mostly to South America.

“They take advantage of the fact that most people don’t have window sensors or motion detectors on their second floors,” Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said. “They have WiFi jammers to stop the alarm company from being notified.”

One law enforcement official suspected the “burglary tourists” that enter the country for 90-day visits without a traditional tourist visa are at least in the hundreds.

Drones with poison darts solve this. But make sure to bury the body to avoid pesky legal squabbles.

Indeed voting for what makes you feel good doesn’t always end up that way.

You do more than try. You succeed.

To me, this looks like an opportunity to create a high-tech security solutions company and hire lots of ex-military to man it.

There’re all kinds of solutions that can be employed.

One key component? Corpse elimination. Shoot, shovel, shutup.

For those of us who don't know what a ghillie suit is.

Did any of you see a segment on some show with Kim Commando? She & her neighbors in Phoenix experienced this

These looting burglary tourists are literally doing on a micro-level what the Biden administration is doing on a macro-level.

Just take it and send it overseas.
