In the world of high-profile living, it’s usually the celebrity who ends up stealing the spotlight. But this time, it’s the housekeeper raising eyebrows after an alleged theft from Michael Rubin’s Hollywood Hills mansion. Reports reveal that for nearly a year, the trusted staff member found her way into his safe, making off with a staggering $130,000. Trust can be a funny thing—especially when it leads to cash disappearing right under your nose.

It all came to light when Rubin noticed cash mysteriously dwindling from the safe. Concerned, his security team set up a hidden camera, and boy, did they catch her red-handed during one of her brazen morning snatches—pocketing another $20,000. The LAPD wasted no time, showing up to arrest her on the spot for grand theft. Talk about a dramatic scene worthy of its own reality show!

What makes this even more puzzling is how she gained access to the safe in the first place. It seems she managed to get hold of a backup key to the combination lock, turning from a trusted employee to a front-page headline in a flash. Perhaps this is a lesson in vigilance we can all take to heart—especially when it comes to the people we let into our homes. Would you trust someone with your cash after hearing a story like this?
