Link: In an Enclave of Serious Wine Lovers, a Mesmerizing Theft

It was perhaps the most Californian of crimes. Behind the electronic gates and freshly clipped hedges of an exclusive cul-de-sac, the thieves worked in the dead of night, ignoring watches, laptops and other ho-hum booty to cart away the ultimate prize: 450 bottles of wine, including a rare $11,000 1959 magnum from the Château Pétrus in Bordeaux, France.

Isn’t that cute? Those Californians love their wine so much they actually steal it from each other!
