A high-end heist from a downtown luxury high-rise building during the holidays is making a Houston couple question their security.
Rachel and Tristan Thompson live in the Brava on Milam, a 47-floor building they thought would be secure.
“They were like, ‘Tristan, there’s no safer place than this,'” Tristan Thompson recalled the selling point.
Now the parents are not so sure.
“It makes you think of your surroundings, and you should not have to do that because you’re home,” Rachel Thompson said, with an emphasis on the word “home.”
In late November, while they were out of town, someone pried open their front door and stole thousands of dollars worth of Christmas gifts from under the tree, as well as designer shoes, bags, and clothing and jewelry.
The burglary left their closet shelves bare.
The crooks took an Xbox and irreplaceable and sentimental items like jewelry left to Rachel by her late mother. Tristan Thompson’s conference championship ring from his playing days at the University of North Texas and his Hall of Fame ring when he was inducted there were also taken.
