Two strangers arrived in Ladue during the holiday season, blending in with the crowds who were out admiring the lights. While families enjoyed quiet evenings at home, the pair slipped into houses and took jewelry, rings, and other valuables without leaving a trace. When police finally discovered they were crime tourists passing through St. Louis, the neighborhood was left with bright decorations, empty shelves, and a lingering sense that something warm had been taken away.
