It wasn’t clear whether The Bling Ring planned for a large-scale burglary, but per The Telegraph, the group had a database that was composed of over 50 targets, a handful of which were A-listers in the early aughts, including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, and Rachel Bilson.
According to a Vanity Fair article, “The Suspects Wore Louboutins,” which chronicled their crimes, their first target was Paris Hilton because the group thought she was “dumb.” Per Nick Prugo, “Like, who would leave a door unlocked?” In October 2008, he, along with Rachel Lee, broke into Hilton’s home and took designer clothing, booze, “crumpled cash,” and other items they thought Hilton wouldn’t miss. They robbed her place multiple times, but the heiress reportedly didn’t notice until a few months later.
Stealing from the rich and famous wasn like a game for the infamous robbery gang. They “ransacked” Bloom’s home when he was away, stealing about $500,000 in Rolex watches, designer bags, clothing, and some artwork. “The Hills” star Audrina Patridge was also a victim. “They took bags and bags of stuff,” she said. The Bling Ring also stole from Bilson multiple times and raided Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox’s home because Lee loved the latter’s clothes. Their last victim was apparently Lindsay Lohan, who Prugo noted was Lee’s “biggest conquest” because Lohan was her “ultimate fashion icon.” They managed to break into Lohan’s house in Hollywood Hills and collected roughly $130,000 in jewelry and clothing.
