Blowtorch Burglars Fail to Steal from Real Housewife's Home
6 Oct
Summary
- Burglars used blowtorch to bypass alarm, but were foiled by quick police response
- Housewife warns fans against posting location details on social media
- Burglars did not take anything from the home

According to a recent report, a Real Housewives of New Jersey star's home was the target of a burglary attempt just a few weeks ago. Dolores Catania, 54, revealed on a radio show that her and her partner Paulie's home was broken into while they were away in Rhode Island filming for a new Housewives spin-off.
The burglars reportedly used a blowtorch to bypass the home's advanced alarm system, which is designed to verbally warn intruders to leave. Despite their efforts, the alarm was still triggered, and the police arrived on the scene within minutes, causing the burglars to flee without taking anything.
Catania and Connell were not home at the time, as they were out enjoying a night together. However, Connell's son called to inform them of the break-in, which Catania said was "pretty bad." The burglars spent about 8 minutes trying to get into the home before finally gaining access, but their time inside was limited to just a minute.
Catania is now urging her fans to be more cautious about sharing their whereabouts on social media, as she believes this may have made her home a target for the burglars. She warned that posting about being away from home can make you vulnerable to such incidents.
Overall, while the burglars managed to breach the home's security, the advanced alarm system and quick police response prevented them from stealing anything. Catania's experience serves as a cautionary tale for anyone who shares their location online, especially those in the public eye.
