(Newser) – Thieves kicked in a padlocked front door at Amy Winehouse’s London home yesterday while the troubled singer was on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia kicking yet another habit, the Sun reports. Police were called to the address to reports of two men forcing entry, but the bandits made off with $21,000 worth of recording equipment, including five guitars, and a flat-screen TV. No arrests have been made.
