Authorities are looking for what may be a team of well-coordinated burglars who struck at a luxury condo complex in Playa Vista earlier this week - It happened in broad daylight.
The victim, who asked to remain anonymous, told KNX News' Jon Baird he left home about 1 PM on Wednesday and believes the suspects broke into his neighbor's place just after 2 PM.
From there, they moved to his home at 2:17 PM, and 12 minutes later, they were gone.

"I have a full video of the getaway car. Of everything," he said. "And you can see their faces... they wear masks during the getaway, but I have them walking up, and during that time, they're not wearing masks."
He said breaking glass could be heard on the surveillance footage, and when he got home, he saw the broken window but was only focused on getting his cat, who had gotten out.
Then he went upstairs - "Chaos. Just everything strewn everywhere," he said. In 12 minutes, the thieves got quite a halt of cash, jewels, purses.
They also made off with the victim's luggage, which had an Apple Air tag inside. Using the tag, the victim was able to track down the abandoned getaway car.
He hopes that the car, along with all of the video, will help police track these thieves down and send them to prison.
