'For their first celebrity target, Prugo claims that he and Lee asked themselves "who would leave a door unlocked? Who would leave a lot of money lying around?", and chose Paris Hilton because they figured she was "dumb".[17] On their maiden trip to Hilton’s home, Prugo and Lee went alone, having used Google Earth to find a place to access her community via a hill climb.[16] They went up to the front door and tried ringing the doorbell to see if anyone was there. They discovered a key under the doormat, but then realized it wasn’t needed because the door was unlocked'

After talking about that graveyard House in the architecture thread, decided to take a look at Highgate Cemetery and found 'Egyptian Avenue' (not my pics)

Been there, is fascinating. Might sound a bit morbid/strange, but i like interesting Cemeteries, the one in Kensal Green is worth a look.
