According to the New York Post and Yahoo, thieves broke into Patricia Vuagniaux's Eagle Rock home Monday afternoon while she was at a doctor's appointment and stole roughly 20 Hermès Birkin handbags, watches, and a jewelry box containing her daughter's baby teeth.

Vuagniaux, a collector and authenticator of the bags, values the haul at $250,000 to $300,000. The New York Post reports the burglars crept around her Ring camera, came through the side of the house, got past reinforced windows, and cracked a lock on her bedroom closet.

They even used her bedroom's fitted sheet to wrap up the bags before carrying them away.

The sophistication of the break-in is what makes this heist stand out. Vuagniaux told ABC7, as quoted by both the New York Post and Yahoo, that the crew deliberately avoided the front-facing Ring camera and approached from the side.

She also said the burglars used a signal jammer to disrupt cameras, noting that even her neighbor's cameras went dark during the robbery. "They were strategic enough to avoid the Ring camera in the front so they came through the side. They knew exactly what they were doing," she told ABC7.

Videos she took inside the home show a ransacked closet and shattered glass.

The suspected motive points back to her own social media. Several months before the robbery, Vuagniaux posted a list of her collection inside a Facebook luxury handbag group, writing that she had a portion of her private collection she was consigning with The RealReal.

According to the New York Post, the list named various Birkin 35 bags, a gold Kelly Sellier bag, a Birkin 30 in Tiffany blue swift, and a brand new Evelyne Pochette 23 — hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of handbags on paper.

When the Post told her the list could have tipped off the thieves, she exclaimed, "I never thought of that. I'm such an idiot."

The stakes reach beyond fashion. Vuagniaux said the bags served as her retirement fund, telling the New York Post, "I worked hard for everything I got."

She fell in love with luxury handbags after retiring and selling her coffee business, collecting and reselling as her tastes shifted. Both the New York Post and Yahoo report the heist also stripped away her sense of security in her own neighborhood: "I'm so scared," she said.

"I'm so afraid to be in my home." For luxury collectors, the case is a cautionary tale about broadcasting high-value inventories online.

At least, she said, her husband and daughter are safe.
