Valerie Bertinelli is not about to become a crime victim … because she’s got an eagle eye on would-be burglars who are hitting her neighborhood and gave them a big surprise.
The actress/Food Network host lives in an area of L.A. where there have been a string of burglaries, including the house next door to hers.
Well, in the wee hours of Wednesday, 2 guys — maybe the culprits in the neighborhood — approached her door at separate times and started scoping out her home. One of the guys was carrying a backpack and several bags. He walks near the camera and apparently spots it, because he beats a hasty retreat. Mission accomplished!!!
The 62-year-old said, “I think he stops because he sees my camera lit up. The other one came an hour before him.”
Eddie Van Halen‘s ex was honest … “F***ing scary,”
She called the cops, who apparently are still on the hunt for these guys, and is doubling down on precautions … “I’m installing more motion detector lights and thinking of putting barbed wire on my front fence. And of course my alarm gets set every night.”
All good moves.
