Not his night: Justin Bieber burgled on tour AND targetted in 'fake emergency' 911-call
Sometimes being rich and famous can really backfire.
Justin Bieber was the victim of two kinds of crime on Tuesday evening - a 911 'SWATting' prank and a burglary while on his Believe Tour.

'Yesterday during the show me and my tour manager josh had some stuff stolen. really sucks. people should respect other's property,' Justin tweeted to his 28.8 million followers.
'I had a lot of personal footage on that computer and camera and that is what bothers me the most. #lame #norespect.'
According to TMZ, a 911 caller used an app Tuesday night to falsely claim someone was waving a gun right next to Justin's Calabasas home.
Officials told the Los Angeles Times that the message was delivered via a TTY device typically used by the deaf to type text over the telephone.
After the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department's Malibu-Lost Hills station dispatched cops and
helicopters, Justin's security let them sweep the house, but nothing
was found.
Cops also did sweeps of two other mansions on Bieber's star-studded block - home to Romeo, Travis Barker, and Kourtney Kardashian.
The famous homes of Ashton Kutcher and Miley Cyrus have also been recent SWATting targets as well.
Last month, a Washington state man was sentenced to 30 months in prison and ordered to pay nearly $24,000 in restitution to the police departments he hoaxed.
The Baby hitmaker, whose next tour stop is Calgary on Friday, can be seen serving as guest mentor on tonight's episode of The X Factor.
'They told me that I was too young,' Bieber is seen telling the hopefuls at L.A. Reid's home.
'You know, you’re never too old or too young. If you have the voice and the talent, nothing’s impossible.'
