Boston Police report the video below shows two suspects in two high-end burglaries at the luxury Channel Center complex over Memorial Day weekend:
In one case, on the 11th floor of 25 Channel Center, "assorted antique jewelry valued at approximately $213,000 was stolen." In the other case, on the 8th floor of the same building, "assorted antique jewelry, Flamet painting, and a Dell laptop" worth a total of $30,000 was lifted.
These guys look familiar? Contact Area C-6 detectives at 617-343-4730, or call the anonymous CrimeStoppers line at 1-800-494-TIPS or text the word TIP to CRIME (27463). Oh, and there's a $1,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of the stolen goods.

Doing it wrong

Brute-forced lock, baseball caps, shorts, pasty-white legs, and shopping bags?
Aren't high-end burglars supposed to wear black catsuits, use gadgets to override the security systems, and slide down cables launched from mini-crossbows?
You ring enough doorbells

You ring enough doorbells and someone will buzz you in.
I'd check Beacon Hill - no

I'd check Beacon Hill - no shortage of thieves there.

Hate to say it, but who cares and why?
BPD pretty much says tough luck and call your insurance to everyone else. There's 2-3 break ins a week in Southie.
Nice to know you'll only get help and an investigation if you're a high roller in a supposedly secure luxury apartment complex.
