Copper thieves had designs on Isaac Mizrahi’s Bridgehampton home, according to a report in the East Hampton Star. The style icon filed a complaint with Southampton police last week that at least 60 feet of copper leaders were removed from his home on Oak Street.
The newspaper reports that a string of similar robberies have taken place recently in the Hamptons. With copper selling at about $4 per pound, the material is presumably being sold for scrap.
Public records show that Mizrahi purchased his three-bedroom, three-bath Colonial home in 1997 for $485,000. Today it is worth just over $2 million.
