two home invasion robberies in a row although i should say technically these are what's called a hot prowl burglary which means that residents are in the in the property when uh the burglary takes place but don't necessarily confront the burglar if it if they confront them it's like a home invasion so there's a little distinction wait there was someone home when the
My brother and I were home asleep in the house when the burglar came in brazenly. We were kind of naive because we thought Santa Monica is the greatest place in the world, right? So our alarm system was not on and the back patio door was unlocked. So how he knew that, I don't know. But it was a well-lit house. There's houses on either side.
um signs indicating like an alarm system um and yet that did not stop him and so we woke up the next day um and uh my brother was in the main house we have a little casita um kind of converted garage where i happened to be um during when this took place and i came into the house and uh the door back door was wide open and um i went up to my room and My entire room was destroyed.
Every valuable item I've ever had in my life was taken, heirlooms from my grandparents, gifts from my parents for graduation. Really just like...
really like token memories you know um and so it was pretty devastating and we called the police and my police they showed up 12 hours later um they said that when they finally came that the delay was due to the fact that they're dealing with so many homeless overdoses so um they dust for fingerprints and say yeah this is going to be this is a serious crime and we will take it seriously and
Don't worry. Well, the next night, it happens again. The next night? The next night, yeah. The next night, he dismantles a window in our dining room, which is also my office, and he took whatever was left, which was nothing. There was nothing left. I mean, the guy would steal things like Easter eggs, like sunglasses, like a letter opener, In addition to really valuable stuff.
And I believe he came back a third night because I saw a car lurking in the middle of the night outside of our house. and i saw a figure in this vehicle that ultimately matched the description of of the perpetrator who was caught um about a month about a month later and the story behind this is i think really quite interesting and was the reason why i undertook the research that i've done
because the guy who did this to us was an illegal alien a dreamer actually an ms-13 gang member with a a convicted felon who had done seven years in prison in california state prison for violent crimes he was deported by trump administration homeland security immediately after uh after getting out of prison in fact he notes uh i've i read the whole police report of this
in the course of my trying to understand what took place. And it's funny, he comments to the cops during his interrogation that as soon as he was released from state prison, ICE immediately picked him up and deported him back to El Salvador. Immediately. And while he was in El Salvador, he had his... MS-13 face tattoo removed.
And he was in El Salvador for about a year or so, and then went back, then traveled to France for whatever reason. The guy had a, his day job was as a carpenter.
um and uh you know actually his primary language was english so i guess we can be thankful for that um thank you lindsey graham and the dream act um but he uh he sneaks back into the us in 2021 under during the biden wave of migration and he proceeds to go on a rampage he does have a kid too at this time so we now have a u.s citizen um to deal with
And he robs a dozen houses in the same manner all over LA County, but also in Ventura County. He robs the home of a judge, a very well-respected criminal judge who presided over the Michael Jackson death trial. It's funny, the police report notes that he took the judge's small-wristed Seiko watch And just like the guy would took anything and everything.
He took, you know, I saw the police reports and he was taking wedding rings. He took a Catholic rosary box. Like there was nothing that was above limits. He, you know, again, like he stole memories from people and he did so callously and with impunity. And he was eventually arrested for, In Simi Valley, which is in Ventura County, which is tougher on crime overall than in L.A.
County, but not by much. And when he was arrested by a joint task force in the middle of the day, he was in his vehicle with his wife and child in the back seat. The police found on him a loaded, stolen Kimber handgun with hollow point bullets. They found body armor, which, by the way, is a federal crime because he's a convicted felon. You cannot have body armor as a convicted felon.
It's a federal crime. They found strange things like a bachelor's degree diploma from Armenia that Currency, foreign currency, knives, like it went on and on and on. He was clearly, clearly a violent person. And when he was brought into interrogation, the officer assigned to him started by saying, thank you for not opening fire on us. We really appreciate that.
And he said, don't thank me because I was planning on killing you and for sure, quote, going Eric's on you, whatever that means, and taking my last stand had it not been for the fact that my wife and kids were in the car because he said, I'm never going back to jail. So fast forward to his arraignment in Ventura County. He's convicted on one count of one of these charges, maybe two counts.
But in any event, he's sentenced to two years in jail and a $300 fine, and he'll probably serve less than that. 300 fine yeah did you get any of your stolen goods back no no the the way i was notified was because he had my uh my driver's license and credit cards um and so uh as part of the investigation they called all the other victims they also relayed this information to santa monica police
Santa Monica police, despite the fact that they had a forensic team come in and swab and, you know, take this really seriously, like CSI style stuff. The assigned detective on my case has still a year, more than a year later, not even called me or attempted to interview me. They have no interest. And I've followed up many, many, many times.
They don't care because there's no incentive to care because these crimes are considered property crimes in Los Angeles County.
And if my brother had been awake and woken up, I think there's a high chance of a violent interaction that would have taken place. I mean, I'm sure he had a gun or a weapon on him when he did this. There's absolutely no reason to doubt that. So it's a miracle, actually, that we're okay. But I was so shocked by what happened.
