THE 10 STRANGEST CELEBRITY HOUSE BREAK-INS OF ALL-TIME

The 10 Strangest Celebrity House Break-Ins of All-Time

April 17, 2012 - 2:00 pm by Chris Yuscavage TWITTER

Earlier this month, a man named Quamine Taylor had the time of his life at Diddy's mansion in East Hampton, N.Y. On April 1, Taylor decided that he wanted to get out of the city for awhile. So, he bought a train ticket to East Hampton, found himself a fresh change of clothes at Diddy's place when he got there, guzzled down some Ciroc, and then hit the sheets for a nice, peaceful sleep. He had quite the time, as you'd probably expect. After all, it's Diddy's house. The only problem? Taylor doesn't actually know Diddy! So, what the mentally-ill man did earned him trespassing and larceny charges and some time in a local jail.

Pretty crazy stuff, right? It almost (almost!) makes us glad that we're not famous. Sure, the glitz and the glamour are probably nice. But, can you imagine coming home and seeing a strange person in your house? Unfortunately, it's a fact of life for many celebrities, who are often the victims of some really strange forms of home invasion. But, don't just take our word for it. Instead, check out The 10 Strangest Celebrity House Break-Ins of All-Time. What in the world were these people thinking?—Chris Yuscavage
