Brad Pitt iPad theft

Brad Pitt iPad theft, Brad and Angelina's eldest son Maddox Pitt went paint-balling in LA on July 20, authorities were called to the scene after a man attempted to steal the Jolie-Pitt's family iPad from their SUV.

11-year-old Maddox had arrived at the Hollywood Sports Paintball Park in Bellflower, California, when passers-by saw a man attempting to steal the item.

Witnesses saw the unidentified man don black gloves and enter the SUV vehicle to remove an iPad that was labeled 'family'.

Local security and police arrested the man on the scene before he could get away with the piece of equipment.

Meanwhile, Maddox, who was seen wearing a balaclava and camouflage clothing, had been accompanied to the park by a bodyguard.

In 2011, Jolie's daughter Shilou was seen playing with the iPad, and it is said to be shared between their brood.

Maddox and his siblings are rarely seen far from their superstar parents Pitt, 49, and Jolie, 38.

Their eldest son, along with twins Vivienne and Knox, four, Shiloh, seven, Zahara, eight, Maddox, eleven, and Pax, nine, were recently seen traveling with their parents as Pitt promoted World War Z last month.

Just this month Jolie was seen jetting into Los Angeles airport with her brood after a relaxing trip to Hawaii.

The attempted theft of the family's iPad was a rare security alert for the family.

However, in May this year police were called to the couple's French estate after two men dressing up as the famous duo attempted to break into grounds.

It turned out to be that the couple's Chateau Miraval was the subject of a television prank on Monday as two jokers broke into their grounds, one dressed as Brad with another as a particularly unconvincing Angelina.

While back in 2006, there was an investigation into the theft of Pitt and Jolie's baby shower pictures, which took place in Namibia ahead of the birth of their daughter Shiloh.
