A group of French nationals pulled off a heist at a Canberra mansion after tracking down the owners' address using social media photos and tips from ChatGPT. The haul? Watches, jewelry, and designer bags worth about $2,000,000.

How They Found the House

One of the crew scoured social media for photos of their future victims and, by analyzing details in the images, figured out they lived in Canberra. That kicked off a targeted search for the exact address.

Where ChatGPT Came In

To narrow down possible neighborhoods, the thief used ChatGPT—asking it to suggest locations in Canberra where private homes have tennis courts and pools. This helped match visual clues from the photos to real properties, zeroing in on the right mansion.
