RHONY alum Jill Zarin revealed that both of her cars were stolen from the driveway of her luxury Boca Raton home after she left them unlocked with the keys inside.
Zarin, 59, posted videos about the crime on her TikTok and Instagram on Monday and shared details of the car theft.
In the video, the reality star noted that ‘very bold people’ stole her vehicles inside a gated community early in the morning and that she captured the incident on camera.
‘So, I learned that the windows, or side windows, open when you close the car. So, thieves go through parking lots and everywhere looking for cars that have their windows open; “They know the car is unlocked and the keys are probably in the car,” he said.
The Boca Raton Police Department confirmed the robbery and told DailyMail.com that the incident took place in the early morning hours of February 3.
“The resident left both car keys unlocked in the driveway,” police said.

The Mercedes, which appears to be rare, is estimated to sell for more than $90,000. The Maserati retails for about $90,700.
In the video, Zarin added that “in his case,” thieves “were more likely” to steal his cars, as he admitted he made the mistake of leaving the keys in the car.
“I’ll never do that again; I’ll have cameras in my house, too,” he said. Then, the businesswoman clarified that she wanted to invest in more advanced cameras that detect movement, sound and light.
‘Anyway, I just want you guys to be aware of what’s going on, even in the safest places. Gated community in and anywhere.
Zarin added: ‘So, thieves entered our community despite all the security we have. My cars were stolen at two in the morning… both of them! Boy is that bold!’
Authorities said the case is under active investigation. It is unclear if there are any clues to the thieves or the whereabouts of the cars.
