Los Angeles Police Department investigators say that it happened at around 3:45 p.m. at a home in the 11400 block of Doña Dolores Place near Laurel Canyon Boulevard.

The thieves took down the home's alarms and cameras before entering, police said. It's unclear exactly what was taken from the home but several of the rooms were ransacked during the incident. 

"They were watching us," said one resident who wished to remain anonymous. "When I checked the Rings, they were going back and forth in our street."
