TL;DR Summary

Thieves, known as "burglary tourists," are entering the US from countries with visa waivers and targeting luxury homes, often from South America, with sophisticated burglary rings. The stolen goods are quickly sold and the money sent back to their home countries, primarily Chile. The issue extends beyond California, with arrests in Arizona, Maryland, North Carolina, and New York. Law enforcement officials are calling for stricter measures and questioning the visa waiver program's effectiveness, while victims express frustration with the lack of urgency in addressing the problem.
