  (#7) Scottish Castles

  Castles are designed to be invasions-proof - that is kind of the point of them, right? Sure, we have all kinds of modern weapons that could level any sort of fortification now, but certainly a castle would be the ideal location to protect valuable works of art against guys with an axe. Yeah, you'd think. But in 2003, Drumlangrig Castle in Scotland was broken into by four gentlemen wielding weapons that dated back to earlier than the castle itself. They stole several precious works of art, including a da Vinci masterpiece entitled "Madonna of Yarnwinder." Valued at about $40 million, it was eventually recovered by the rightful owners.

  (#12) Bentley Dealerships

  This was less a "sneak-in" and more a "smash-and-grab." But in 2013, a pair of masked men broke the display window at a La Jolla, California Bentley dealership and proceeded to steal about $150,000 worth of luxury Breitling watches. One of the timepieces was worth $60,000 alone. Credit where credit is due, these guys did a better job than the last robbers who broke into that dealership. In 2003, a group broke in and took hostages; they were later caught and arrested. The Watch Bandits remain at large, and police remain on the lookout for a pair of black-clad men who are consistently prompt.

  (#6) 10 Downing Street (the Prime Minister's House)

  Say what you will about the Brits, but they do put a lot of faith in their people. So much so that in 2008, a burglar convicted of theft 78 times simply walked into the PM's house right through the front door. He arrived with his Lithuanian girlfriend, who quickly flashed her Lithuanian ID card to the guards. Assuming the couple to be poorly dressed foreign dignitaries, the guards let them in. The two walked from office to office, shoving stuff in their pockets. As you do. They were finally caught, but the couple isn't in prison, and the guards still have their jobs. So... cool?

  (#1) The United States

  America is a big country and big places aren't usually that difficult to sneak into. There are a wealth of options for sneaking into the US, whether it be sneaking across one of our borders with Canada or Mexico or just hopping on a plane and never returning to your home country. Determination goes a long way.

  (#5) Trains

  You know that old cliche about vagabonds "riding the rails" from town to town? It's not just a convention of Victorian times - it still  happens, and for a pretty good reason. Modern freight trains are often over a mile long and slow down or stop completely near populated areas. Enough so that hitchhikers have enough time to scout those areas and hop on the next train headed out of town. Granted, they might have to spend the entire trip outside on the steel tie between cars, but hey, it beats paying for gas!

  (#9) Celebrities' Houses

  Many celebrities have been the victims of robberies, some surprisingly recently. P. Diddy's house got broken into in 2012. Rachael Bilson had her entire shoe collection stolen and Kate Moss had three pieces of artwork stolen from her house while she was home. Paris Hilton got taken for $2 million in jewelry by a group known as "The Bling Ring," which regularly targeted celebrities. They also hit Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox.
