A group of California firefighters stopped a looter from robbing a burned-down house and jetting off with an Emmy Award that had miraculously survived the fiery carnage of the Eaton Fire.
Smoke eaters with the Los Angeles County Fire Department were working in a burned-down Altadena neighborhood on Thursday when they came across two suspicious people who were leaving one of the properties.
One of the firefighters confronted a woman – wearing a dark sweatshirt and skirt over sweatpants – carrying possessions from the home including the prestigious award.
...
No way, you are not doing this,” the first responder argued.
...
The woman claimed she wasn’t stealing and was protecting her neighborhood.
The firefighter walked away but turned around when the woman and her friend attempted to get into the truck.
“You’re not going anywhere,” the firefighter ordered.
...
Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office arrested the looters.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman revealed nine more individuals charged with crimes related to the aftermath of the Eaton and Palisades fires.
The charges included felony arson, felony possession of ammunition by a felon, felony looting during mandatory evacuations, and misdemeanor impersonation of a firefighter.
....
Over 40 out-of-town vultures were arrested by the Santa Monica police for preying on the thousands of homes left abandoned there and in the neighboring Pacific Palisades.
The suspected criminals took advantage of residents fleeing the devastating fires and burglarized the homes.

I thought all the Emmy award winners would live in the Palisades, not in Altadena.
Looters should be shot on site.
In 1900 when the floods hit Galveston they were shot on site
You shall not pass !
Just regular thieves, not gangbanger thieves ,be careful out there.
Emmy Award - for the least weak performance in another mediocre, woke TV show.
Alleged looters
"You can't steal that Oscar! Oh, it's an Emmy... never mind." If it were a Tony, they'd have to pay a thief to take it.
That would cut down on the looting nicely.
And I’ll bet that the next flood, there were no looters knowing what happened to the last looters
I would guess “her neighborhood” is actually far away from this scene.
Was it Kramer? Nah, he was helping steer the fire truck.
If the Democrats would destroy Hollywood and CA there is no safe city in the US anymore.
Everyone got hosed!
I hear that he now has to fire Raquel Welch.
She *really* doesn’t move her arms *now*.
