Father-Son Heist: The $7K Jewelry Theft That Started with a Signed Visitor Log

A sticky-fingered dad brought along his 10-year-old son to burglarize an Arizona arts center, where the kiddo allegedly snatched several pieces of jewelry worth over $7,000 — all after signing his name in the gallery’s visitor log.

Jean Zintz, 31, brought his son to the Mesa Arts Center in downtown Mesa last Wednesday and busted into the Mesa Contemporary Arts building — which had been closed to prepare for a new exhibit — at around 2 p.m., according to Mesa police.

The father broke open a locked door at the building and once inside, his son began snatching jewelry, including a $2,100 “Trouble” necklace, a $3,000 self-portrait bolo, and two “Rockstar” bracelets worth a combined $2,250 — adding up to $7,350 in total, according to court documents obtained by People.
