  (#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.

  (#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?

  (#10) Nuclear Power Stations

  Nuclear terrorism is a horrifying idea - and it doesn't require a Russian warhead bought on the black market. Greenpeace protesters proved that twice, once in 2003 and once in 2010, when they broke into two separate nuclear power plants using nothing more than a pair of wire-cutters.

  On the first occasion, the tie-dye wearing Greenpeace terrorists made it all the way to the central control room of England's Sizewell B nuclear plant. They repeated the feat in Sweden a few years later, while wearing giant windmill costumes.

  (#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.

  (#13) Prisons, ft. Snoopy and a Cat

  For a place designed to keep people in and modeled on the concept of a medieval fort, you'd think prisons would be pretty hard to break into. And certainly, most American supermax prisons are. Hey, with the largest prison population on Earth, we've got practice. England, though, seems to have a bit of a problem in this department.

  In one case, a man broke into a prison wearing a Snoopy costume, intending to snatch a prisoner and dance his way back out. Another Englishman broke into a prison to steal $13,000 in cigarettes from inmates. In Brazil, guards noticed a suspicious looking cat wandering around the grounds. Upon closer inspection, they realized the cat had been strapped with cell phones, files, knives, and other implements of malfeasance.

  (#8) SeaWorld

  If this one doesn't make you laugh, you're just dead inside. In 2012, three Aussies got sloshed to the gills (not uncommon) and decided to take a trip to Gold Coast SeaWorld. Only problem: it was closed. So they scaled a fence, broke in, and had a grand ol' time swimming with the dolphins.

  While none of them remember exactly how it happened, the trio woke up the next day to a fascinating new houseguest: Dirk the Penguin. That's right, three guys drunkenly kidnapped a penguin from SeaWorld. Hangover 4, anyone? (Dirk was returned to SeaWorld, and the gentlemen in question used the video above in court as proof that they did not intend to harm the traumatized bird.)
