Thieves Steal Hilton's Mother's Day Gifts



LOS ANGELES (AP) - Paris Hilton's mother can only imagine what her celebrity daughter got her for Mother's Day. That's because thieves stole the gifts before Kathy Hilton received them.



A gift bag containing nearly $10,000 worth of Christian Dior shoes, sunglasses, handbags and perfume was taken from outside the Hilton home, spokesman Elliot Mintz said Monday.



The younger Hilton ``spent three or four hours shopping to put together this wonderful collection of things for her mom,'' Mintz said.



A delivery person set the package down outside the home's gate to ring the intercom when a passenger in a passing car snatched the gifts.



``A fellow just whizzed by and grabbed the package,'' Mintz said.



The Hilton family celebrated Mother's Day by going out to dinner, he said.





Apologies, webmaster and anyone else who was offended by my previous picture.

Someone has very kindly shown me how to edit pictures and so I was able to change it. I'm very sorry for any offence caused and apologise wholeheartedly for it!

I'm busy right now but if you remind me later, I might feel sorry for them.



NOT!:-2

Sorry if I do not feel sorry for them, but my giveadamn is broken right now.

A thief is a thief. Sure, the Hiltons can easily replace 10K of merchandise but it was still a crime. The financial impact on the Hiltons was negligible but I think it sad that because they are rich we don't care that thieves are stealing from them. So we wink at crimes against the rich because it makes us feel better? :yh_think

Agree...the gifts, whatever the value, were picked in the spirit of Mothers Day. Are we saying because they are rich that they deserve to have their property stolen...are they not human beings ?

OK< I am not saying it is OK to steal from someone..be they rich or poor. I guess I was just commenting on the fact that it made news ONLY because it happened to a rich and famous person. If it happened to one of us, it may make the police blotter...and no one beyond our immediate family and circle of friends would really care.

I am just thinking it needs to be filed under "stuff happens":-2
