Client Background
A high-profile private client in Encino purchased a luxury home that was previously owned by a celebrity. Although ownership had changed, the property’s address and history remained widely known online. Whenever the former owner posted content showing they were out of state, the home became a target for break-ins.
Within a three-week period, the property experienced two break-in attempts, creating serious safety concerns for the client and his family.
The Problem
The client’s residence was repeatedly targeted due to:
- Previous celebrity ownership and public visibility
- High-value assets on site, including luxury vehicles
- Concerns for the safety of the client’s wife and daughter
The client needed a solution that would stop the activity immediately while maintaining a professional and non-intrusive presence.
Our Solution
Safeguard Security Services implemented a custom two-step security plan tailored to the client and the property.
Step 1: Visible Deterrence
A marked Safeguard security vehicle was stationed in front of the residence to establish a strong and immediate security presence.
Step 2: Active Patrol & Reporting
A professional unarmed security officer:
- Patrolled the property on an hourly basis
- Monitored surrounding activity
- Reported suspicious behavior directly to the client and Safeguard’s management team
- Documented incidents and coordinated with local law enforcement when necessary
The Results
- During the first week, multiple suspicious vehicles were observed stopping near the property and taking photos. Each incident was documented and reported.
- By the third week, suspicious activity dropped significantly.
- After three months of consistent protection, the client felt confident in the safety of his home and family.
Today, Safeguard provides security services for the client only when he is out of town, reflecting long-term trust and satisfaction.
Outcome
✔ Break-ins stopped
✔ Visible deterrence established
✔ Family safety restored
✔ Ongoing client relationship maintained
