Kyle and Maurico recently bought the old Smokey Robinson estate for $8.2 million dollars. The 10,600 square feet house is seven bedrooms and has eight bathrooms. There is also a 1.600 square foot guest house on the property. It is located in Encino. They purchased the house in late October and have been working on numerous renovations. I was unaware they had actually already moved in.
Early Thursday morning, around 1 am the house was broken into. It seems like an inside job because the burglars appeared to head straight to the master bedroom for the jewelry. As is often the case, they had an alarm system, but it was not turned on. The burglars did trip a sensor in the master closet where they made off with a collection of very expensive watches that belonged to Mauricio.
There were several surveillance cameras that may have been working that could identified the burglars. The home has had a lot of construction workers on the property over the past few months who may have known when and where to access the property. The only damage appears to be the window they broke to enter the home, according to TMZ.
The housekeeper discovered the break in this morning.
I don’t think we will see this house until the next season of RHOBH because filming was finished when the purchase was made. Maurico has been itching to move for years and Kyle didn’t want to leave their family home.
Kyle, Maurico and the kids had taken off to Aspen yesterday. It seems like the burglars were aware of their travel schedule. The entire family recently attending Kris Jenner’s big Krismas party. From the looks of these photos, I don’t think this break in is going to break their holiday spirit.
Kyle really does have the good life.
That sucks. Being broken into is a big fear for me, because my family and my work are in different countries and I travel a lot. I’d hate to have my stuff pawed over by some grubby, greedy scumbag.
Mauricio’s agency often publish floorplans for some of their listings, which I always think is like a blueprint for burglary. In this case, it probably was an inside job, but at the same time I think the real estate industry should be cautious with the plans and photos they publish with their listings – it gives an awful lot of information to people you might not want to have it!
Never thought about that before. Good point
You do have a point.. But as a potential buyer, the first thing one would want to see is a layout of the property in order to have an idea of what can be changed and/or what can be into the home. People might not even consider looking at a place without seeing the floorplan as images can very well be deceiving.
Jeez that’s terrible! A true least no one was there and things can be replaced, people can’t. Love you Kyle and wish every happiness, it’s deserved! How’s kim doing these days?
I’ve not been a Kyle fan since season 2, but I think she and Mauricio have a great family life and marriage and deserve all the rewards their hard work has afforded them.
Hopefully the theives are arrested quickly and Mauricio’s watched recovered.
This has Faye’s coked out paws all over it…
Commenting win of the day ?? ?♀️
I am so glad no one was home! How scary if someone decided to stay back last minute and surprised the burglars.
I wonder if Kyle will still be allowed on RHOBH after moving to Encino? To many LA snobs, living in “the valley” (San Fernando) is a fate worse than death!? Personally, I’d love to see this new house on the show.
How many women on RHOBH actually have a 90210 zip code?
Just like most of the women on RHOA do not even live in Atlanta. They are all OTP… Heck, Nene and Porsha live way out in the sticks.
Rinna and Vanderpump are both in BH, about five minutes from each other. Dorit’s fake house is also real Beverly Hills. Not sure about Teddi.
The house we see Kyle in on the show currently is in Bel Air, and Erika lives all the way out in Pasadena (I don’t know how she ever visited Yolanda in Malibu when they were “friends”, it must have been a 4-hour round trip!).
And yes, I’m a total real estate geek.
But Kyle is all about that Beverly Hiiiillllls life. Its been her tag line.
Kyle will always be on RHOBH, she is he original housewife and a producer. That said, Yolanda and I think Rinna live in Malibu, I don’t think Erika is in Beverly Hills either.
Kyle’s store is in BH….
Perturbed- right? Or as people say THE V-aaallllley??? 3 miles from BH but 30 min away ? Encino is so lovely though. Part of Mauricio’s move could have been cultural too. That area to calabasas has a higher Armenian culture (Armenian restaurants, churches, schools too). More land, more cultural diversity and not being far from hills could be his incentive. I was not very impressed with their old house and I bet this new one blows it out of the water, as they will get much more for money.
Does Mauricio have Armenian heritage? I seem to think his parents’ heritage is mixed Hispanic and Russian Jewish, but I didn’t know we’d ever heard anything about Armenia?
I think it’s on his mother’s side, doesn’t she have some connection to Peggy from OC?
Sure, Mauricio’s mother appears friendly with Peggy’s estranged brother, and made some allegations about Peggy excluding him from a family funeral. I don’t really see why his mother’s Kuwait-born Armenian friend would matter much to Mauricio when spending millions of dollars and moving his kids miles away from their schools though, unless there’s something about his heritage I’m misunderstanding.
I think that’s unlikely though – there aren’t many Armenian Jews (a few hundred), so I’d have thought he’d have talked about it more at some point if that was the case. Be interested if someone knows differently?
no your a hundred percent right.. about his heritage and No there is no armenian
Kyle always said that Mauricio was Mexican.
So maybe I need to stop watching while doing laundry, drinking wine, checking social media etc haha ? I thought it was mentioned, but I stand corrected on Armenian heritage. Had no idea Russsian Jewish and Mexican. you sound pretty sure and that’s so specific so I must have missed this discussed on the show. I do remember him speaking Spanish though.
Thanks for clarifying or me Jobnny. Happy 2018
RealE, I never understood the put down, except for the “Valley Girls” back in the day (as in the Frank Zappa song)? I lived in Manhattan Bch for 10 yrs & the locals always joked about the SF Valley & Orange County. Geographically undesirable yes, as far as travel time to LA, but both areas have beautiful towns & real estate. Regarding Mauricio, I’ve only heard he was of Mexican & Jewish heritage – not Armenian like the Kardashians. Happy New Year to you, Tamara & all TT Readers!! ??????????
Oops I guess I stand corrected on the Armenian. I really thought his mother was and that was discussed. ?? you can tell I have watch the show haha. Because now that it was mentioned above I DO remember him speaking Spanish but so many in LA do taht I didn’t catch it as significant.
And yes the Westside & South Bay certainly have heir ideas of the valley and OC. I like to think of Tom Petty and free falling and all things great about the the valley like you 🙂
Happy 2018 to you too.
In other RHOBH news, Lisa Rinna is posting Instagram stories of her watching season 1 of RHOBH and doing running commentary. She is shading LVP and Kyle… and she posted a clip of Camille being catty and she said “who is this and where did she go and can she come back?”
This is actually brilliant! She wants to meet up sign cedric and saying her cast mates are all full of shit.
This is what got her on the show in the first place…. that Andy wanted her on the show from the beginning, but it didn’t work out – and she was an uberfan that appeared on WWHL…
Smart move to remind peeps that she was someone before appearing on the show (not that Kyle wasn’t, etc.)
One of the reasons they moved was to have a security gate. Apparently people were showing up at the last house. Yes, sounds like an inside job. I know with me I’d never feel comfortable in the house again but with them just moving in may feel differently. Also, Ericka lives in Pasadena.
Individual or neighborhood security gate? Unless there is a human at the gate, community gates don’t mean shit. It is so fucking easy to get into one without a code, etc. if you time it right.
Individual one is different.
I so feel for them. My parents’ house was ransacked/cleaned out several years ago. My childhood home. Lost family mementos. The fuckers even stole the half drunk bottle of homemade limoncello in the freezer. If in an antique store, etc. I still look for a painting that was stolen, and a Venetian glass lamp too.
Individual gate. So sorry that happened to your parents. It’s such a personal violation.
Kyle has started to grow on me. She does have the good life and I believe she works very hard to preserve it. What a horror, having someone break into your house and steal. Many years ago my house was burglarized, all of our electronics were taken and the little bit of jewelry I had on my dresser. It was such a violation into your life. Stuff is stuff and it has not changed the fact that Kyle does have a good life!
Well that sucks, had to have been an inside job. How violating. I like Kyle, she seems down to earth despite her wealth. Her husband though, something is off about him. He just seems disingenuous and to good to be true.
I’m glad no one was home or hurt. Kyle has been one of my favorites on this show since season 1. Kyle has the good life and she and Mauricio bring the lifestyle that was once upon a time was the original premise of the housewives shows until Bravo confused itsself with We tv
Do you ever notice that Kyle and Ericka both have big German Shepards as dogs in addition to their other more docile pets? I am not sure if they are just pets, I imagine they are well trained guard/attack dogs as well.
I have a 120 lb. German Shepherd and an 11 pound Chihuahua. Anyone who broke in would be scared to death by the German Shepherd, but it’s actually the chihuahua who’s the fierce little attack dog. Too bad she can’ reach much higher than the ankles – never heard of a burglar being chased off by nips to the heels. Still, the German Shepherd definitely looks the part and I think he’d die trying to protect me, so I sleep deeply at night, knowing that he’s on guard duty. Amazing how they have that instinct to make sure things are safe; even when he was smaller and we used to go to the dog park, he would patrol the entire perimeter before he started to play. Wonderful animals.
There is a video going around Facebook of a little 6lb. Chihuahua chasing off coyote in it’s yard.
That coyote could have turned on a dime and snatched up that barking little dog so I wouldn’t have been doing a video but rather getting the dog out of there.
Here in AZ coyotes have been waiting at a door and when owners walked out of the house with the dog on a leash it was snapped up and killed.
I’ve lived here since the 60’s and we rarely saw coyotes, but with all the building and expansion and winter visitors feeding them because they think they look like dogs, they are now part of most neighborhoods and since their food supply of rabbits and ground squirrels has diminished with the building they will eat whatever they can find and if they live on or near one of the many, many golf courses here, they can always count on pet owners letting Muffy and Fluffy outside to enjoy the grass. And, that’s the last they are seen and the pet owners are on the news crying over the bloodthirsty animal that ate their pet totally ignoring the fact they served it up a hot lunch due to their negligence.
Is that David Foster at the party pic?!!
Yep.
I thought it was David but I said nawww. I didn’t think they were friends like that.
Erika has Dobermans. Any dog can be trained as a guard dog. If anyone tried to break in here my Shih Tzu and Mini Schnauzer would F them up or at least wake up the neighborhood by barking. They’re convinced the pizza guy is an ISIS operative..
I’m sorry but they were just at Casa KarJenner and now they had an ‘inside job’ break in? When is someone going to figure out which member of Kris’s posse is behind all of this (I have my suspicions already).
My comment poofed, think it’s the iPhone Apple mess.
I imagine those were/are nice watches, I so drool over watch’s.
Johnny invest in a safe or safe room/closet, all else you own doesn’t matter. It’s stuff that if gone your life will be just as good. For me it was how much importance I had given my stuff emotionally. I was emotionally attached to a vase, that was sick. I did not want my stuff gone but once it was and not my choice I felt so freed.
I love vintage California dinnerware, barware, pottery and the glassware/crystal and my vintage watch’s, All else can go. No one would find my watch’s and thieves don’t know plates. Recommend built in floor safes between the studs.
What do you guys collect?
TT can we have a ?? Free talk – post on this subject? Guessing some of you ladies have great handbags and TT with her gold bangles.
I have some pieces of jewelry that were passed down through the women in my family. I am very attached to them. I wear my grandmother’s wedding ring every day. There were other things that mattered to me that I was supposed to get when my mother passed away. She went blind and my brother slowly cleaned out everything of value before she passed so that did not happen. I’m ok though, the few pieces I have mean the world to me.
I don’t condone burgulary but how IMPRUDENT and unwise of Kyle and Mauricio to have turned off their alarm systems
Even if they have all the money in the world, there’s nothing like feeling violated by a burgulary..time for them to re-assess their security arrangement AND who they should trust
Mauricio and his family are Mexican. Kyle has said this many times and wants her youngest daughter to speak spanish.
He’s also Jewish.
I could be very off of this point but, Kyle and her family were posting on instagram photos of the whole family on vacation and where they were etc. They were posting in real time. Wouldn’t any thief be able to see that and know that the entire family is away?
Just read that they were cleaned out of all jewelry and she also lost her handbags. ALL of them! Security system was not turned on due to a ‘misunderstanding’ and it can be turned on by a remote so unsure what that means. Miscommunication I guess and a very costly one. Cameras turned off due to renovations and dogs at obedience school so it was a win win for burglars.
NOW they have a full time security guard on property but for what? I doubt they will ever feel completely safe there now.
She lost jewelry her mother left her that she planned to give her girls. And, her wedding ring. All she has left is what she took to Aspen. Kyle appears to be very sentimental so this will definitely not be something she ever gets over because she probably won’t get anything back.
Police are saying according to the article I read it does not seem like an inside job because it matches other celebrity robberies. If she was posting the Aspen trip online then duh………..so dumb.
