The boys have been caught many times. But Los Angeles policeman Jerry Osterholt describes them as great actors who turn on the tears and are released after their parents promise to counsel them. "They give the appearance of being a wealthy family," Osterholt said.

"Nothing but the finest clothes, jewelry. They stay in the best hotels. They go first cabin all the way. "These kids are learning crime does pay, and very handsomely," he said. "They eat out all the time, are always in hotels.

They've got to be spending $200 a day just to live." He said the FBI agreed last week to enter the case and is seeking witnesses to some of the family's past crimes. Police say the family has hit one clothing chain, Casual Corners, 19 times over the past two years in a number of states. The 12-year-old was caught earlier this month after pocketing $60,000 in diamonds from a jewelry store in the Los Angeles suburb of Woodland Hills, Osterholt said. His brother was caught stealing from a nearby store, and the whole family was carted off to the police station. The youths told police they were bored that day and decided to see who could steal the most.

The parents expressed horror and promised discipline. The family was then released just as they have been similar times over the past two years, Osterholt said. "God knows how many times they have been caught, come up with the same line and been released." Osterholt said a check of records later showed that the family had been caught and released in Hawaii the day before the Woodland Hills arrest and had been capturgdafp freed in Los Angeles abut this time last year.
