Notorious cat burglar reveals which houses were best to target
Jennifer Gomez, 41, was arrested in 2011 for burglarizing over 200 upscale homes across Central Florida, accumulating an estimated $7 million in stolen goods.
Convicted of multiple charges including burglary and grand theft, Gomez served nearly a decade in prison before her release in February 2020.
Gomez, who now shares her story on social media and podcasts, revealed her methods included targeting affluent homes without excessive security, using cul-de-sacs for quick escapes, and striking on rainy days.
She disguised herself as a dog med spa worker in medical scrubs, used a glass-cutting tool for entry, and pacified dogs with food to access homes.
Gomez attributes her past crimes to drug addiction and a toxic relationship, despite coming from a privileged background, and now aims for her story to serve as a cautionary tale.
