It is not uncommon to associate the 90210 zip code with a popular television series that ran in the 1990s. The zip code is also where an alleged burglar fell from a ladder and into a swimming pool.
The Beverly Hills Police Department shared footage from the incident on Jan. 6, with the caption “Burglar captured in 4K.” Best comments get pinned.”
The video shows a man climbing out of the window of a house before he is seen on a ladder that appears to be over a garage. The suspect is seen clutching the ladder to his life as it slips. He then loses his footing and falls into the pool.
Social media users have responded enthusiastically to the post.

“That Malibu earthquake must have been hard!” One of the comments is “That Malibu quake must have hit hard!”
Another Instagram user responded to the video by writing, “The guy operating the drone must have been holding back a laugh.”
