"Snowfall" star Damson Idris' home was subject to a burglary earlier this month ... but we're told the damage the thieves caused in the home outweighed what they got away with in goods.
Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the alleged thieves broke into Damson's L.A.-area house July 3, smashing a glass door to get inside.
We're told they eventually left with Damson's small safe, but the joke's on them -- because our sources say it only held about $500 worth of stuff ... though it's not totally clear what was inside.
What's more, we're told the suspects did more damage breaking in and stealing the safe than what they took home -- telling us it's about a $2K bill to fix what was busted.
LAPD is investigating the incident -- we're told cops will be reviewing the security cameras in the house and will be checking out neighbors' videos too. So far, no arrests have been made.
If these alleged perps are gonna have to pay back Damson for repairs, they'll have to steal a lot more safes.

Exclusive

Danny Bonaduce's unloaded his Seattle home while he recovers from a brain procedure ... and it took him less than a month to find a buyer for the pad.
According to property records, Danny's place sold Monday for $1,500,000 ... which is $100,000 under the listing price.
TMZ broke the story ... Danny put the home on the market in early June for $1.6 million, telling us the property became too dangerous for him to navigate while he coped with his health issues.
Danny had surgery last month for a condition called hydrocephalus ... a neurological disorder caused by a buildup of liquid in the brain, and he says recovery is going well.
DB tells TMZ ... "It's been almost a month since my surgery and my walking is already so much better. Exciting to see results, especially so fast. I've been back on the air for a few weeks. Doing great!"
As for Danny's former digs, the place is 2,178 square feet with 3 bedrooms and views of the entire city, including Seattle's famed Space Needle.
The place has a chef's kitchen, a huge walk-in closet, plus premium appliances and outdoor decks.
Danny previously told us the place just had too many rooms and stairs for him to safely navigate, considering his condition. He and his wife are now living in a downtown Seattle condo.
George & Melanie Beasley of Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty held the listing.

Taylor Swift's homes keep bringing out the most odd behavior -- a woman was just nabbed for allegedly trespassing on her Rhode Island property.
Westerly Police Department Chief Paul Gingerella tells TMZ ... cops were dispatched to the singer's estate Monday afternoon for a report of a trespasser, and when officers arrived they arrested a woman who they say had previously been warned to stay off Taylor's property.
TMZ obtained photos showing the suspect being handcuffed outside the front gate to Taylor's home ... smack in the middle of three "NO TRESPASSING" signs.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, the woman is 54-year-old Kimberly Meyer and she was arrested and charged with one misdemeanor count of trespassing. She was released from custody, but she's due back in court July 14.

Kevin Costner's Estranged Wife $51K Child Support Just Isn't Enough ... Kids Can't Live Off Crumbs!

- 2.4K shares
Kevin Costner's estranged wife is fighting for more child support ... scoffing at the $51,940 monthly figure he's currently offering, saying it's not even close to enough dough.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Christine Baumgartner calls Kevin's child support proposal "completely inappropriate" ... saying he apparently expects their kids to live well below his means when they're with their mother.
Christine claims Kevin spends $240,000 a month on himself and the kids when they're with him ... a huge contrast to the $51,940 he's expecting her to need to take care of the kids when they're with her.
Kevin's estranged wife says the almost $52K simply isn't enough to provide for the kiddos ... pointing out it's well below the $65,000 per month she says Kevin was getting for renting out a guest house at his $100 million beachfront compound, where the family lived together.
Christine says there's just no way she can give their kids the life they're accustomed to on $52k a month ... claiming it's not enough to find similar housing or keep up their lifestyle.
Kevin Costner Judge Orders Christine Out By July 31, Sign Prenup is Valid
In the docs, Christine says at the current figure the kids would be in for a big step down once she moves out of Kevin's home ... she says the kids are used to living at the beach and in a gated neighborhood, two things she doubts she will find at $52K a month.
Christine says she needs the money for more than just rent ... rattling off a bunch of other expenses like utilities and TV bills.
Kevin's estranged wife says the kids are used to having a team of people hired to maintain the home and the property ... including assistants and helpers who handle schedules, grocery shopping, food prep, cleaning and cooking.
Remember ... Christine's requested $248k for child support, with Kevin's accountant saying some of her expenses include more than $100k for her own cosmetic procedures and boutique shopping.
Bottom line ... Kevin and Christine are far apart on what they think she needs to support the kids.

Stephen King Real-Life Horror Tale Hits Home ... Deer Impaled On His Spiked Fence

Exclusive
- 2.4K shares
Stephen King is the undisputed king of horror ... but his fictional storylines turned into a real-life nightmare at his home in Maine, with the author as the central character.
The fabled novelist of classics like "Pet Sematary" and "The Shining" got an uninvited visitor to his Bangor, Maine home Thursday, when a deer impaled itself on his spiked fence in front of his gothic mansion.
TMZ obtained a photo of the white-tailed fawn draped over the sharp spikes in the center of the wrought iron fence. The spikes drove into the midsection of the helpless animal whose legs were half inside and half outside King's property.
A rep for the Bangor PD tells us ... the one-year-old buck apparently tried to jump over the fence, but it was too high. The deer then attempted to maneuver through the middle portion of the metal barrier, but, unfortunately, the poor thing got skewered.
Unclear if King was home at the time ... but we know he didn't call cops. A woman driving by spotted the injured deer and dialed 911.
Police responded and put the deer out of its misery, shooting it. Per state law, officers are authorized to kill any wild animal they deem to be in distress.
It appears the house is a vacation home for Stephen and his wife. It gets its share of tourists who come by to gawk at the mansion.
We reached out to King's rep for comment ... so far no word back.
One thing's for sure ... King has the beginning chapter of his next horror book.

Madonna Returns Home From Hospital After Serious Bacterial Infection
Madonna is back home and recovering after a serious bacterial infection sent her to an ICU, but there's still a large looming question as to when her highly anticipated tour will kick off.

Kevin Costner Divorce Christine Says She'll Move Out ... But There's String Attached
Kevin Costner's estranged wife says she will pack up and move out of their home under one condition ... he's got to pony up more dough.
According to new legal docs, obtained by RadarOnline.com, Christine Baumgartner says she will move out of the beachfront home in Carpinteria, CA on August 31 ... as long as Kevin provides financial support as determined by the court.
Christine claims Kevin wants her to find a new place to live ASAP without a financial plan in place ... and with three kids, she says it's not in their best interests for her to move into a new place until she knows how much money she's going to be getting from Kevin.
Remember ... Kevin says Christine has so far refused to move out of the home he insists he owns, and he says their prenuptial agreement makes it clear Christine had 30 days to vacate the home when she filed for divorce on May 1, a deadline she's already missed.
Kevin, as we've reported, already says he's shelled out $1 million for Christine to find a new place to live ... and he's been asking the court to get her out of the home, claiming she's using her position as leverage to make him agree to her financial demands.
In docs filed earlier this month, Christine asked a judge to force Kevin to pay $248,000 a month in child support ... a figure Kevin says amounts to highway robbery.
There's a court hearing coming up July 12, and Christine says when she finds out then how much she's getting from Kevin, she'll have a better handle on where she can move and will be out of the home by the end of August.

Madonna has unloaded her beautiful Hidden Hills mansion ... and the Queen of Pop is making a fortune on the sale, TMZ has learned.
Madonna recently sold her ray of light for a whopping $23M. Her estate initially hit the market with a $26M price tag before reducing it to $23.5M. The buyer got her to shave off half a mil, so here we are.

The stunning estate sits on 3 acres and comes in at over 12.5K square feet ... with 9 beds and 11 baths. It has some great perks, like a glass wine cellar, theater, music lounge (obviously), a study, and a really neat no-edge, saltwater pool out back.
Trevor Wright of The Beverly Hills Estates held the listing.
We reached out to The Beverly Hills Estates, but they had no comment.

Barbie Real-Life Malibu Dreamhouse Gets Bright Pink Face-Lift!!!
Big-time Barbie fans are gonna LOVE the way her IRL Malibu Dreamhouse looks after a pink glow-up ... a renovation completed just before the anticipated flick hits theaters.
This oasis is the real deal -- overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the heart of Malibu -- and the new color really pops ... certainly what Barbie would've wanted.
Aside from the new makeover, the spot has some sweet decor sprinkled throughout the home ... with a theater, hobby room and a luxurious infinity pool.
The mansion took to Airbnb in 2019 with a price tag of just 60 bucks to commemorate the iconic doll's 60th anniversary.
Back then, the home had splashes of pink, but this new look is a completely different beast.
It's unclear if the face-lift is any sign the property will be back on the site ... but we're assuming the dream car, if up for grabs, will be sold separately.

Josh Altman Jay-Z & Bey's $200M Home's a Flex ... Pocket Change For Them

Josh Altman says Jay-Z and Beyoncé dropping $200 million on a Malibu mansion that will serve more as an art museum than a home is a huge flex from the uber-rich celeb couple.
We got the "Million Dollar Listing" star at Sunset Plaza and asked about HOV and Bey's recent record-setting real estate splash.
Josh says the $200 mil -- which as we first reported was paid in cash -- sounds like a lot of money to most of us, but he says it amounts to pocket change for the new owners.
It's the most expensive home purchase ever in California, and the crazy thing is ... Josh thinks Jay-Z and Beyoncé will use the 30,000-square-foot property to display an art collection that could be worth more than the home itself.
Now, that's a FLEX.
Josh doesn't think the Carters are too worried about turning a profit here either ... he doubts they'll ever sell it, telling us it's a "legacy" property and somewhere to park their cash.
He envisions the home remaining in their family forever and says they will spend another $40 million sprucing up the place -- just another drop in the bucket.
Josh says the home is a unicorn, in part because there aren't a lot of beachfront lots in Malibu, to begin with ... and he tells us why celebrities often have a different mindset than a regular family when it comes to home buying.
It's a fun and interesting conversation ... and Josh tells us why Jay-Z and Beyoncé are inspiring him to hustle harder.

Nicki Minaj Petition Pushing Her Out of Hidden Hills APPEARS TO BE CARDI FAN TROLL-JOB
-
Exclusive
- 2.4K shares
11:19 AM PT -- Further proof the petition appears to be a troll-job by Cardi B fans evidenced in a tweet from back in December linking the document with the message "We, as nicki antis, can turn the residents of Hidden Hills AGAINST Nicki and her pedo husband moving in, hurting her assets in the process."
The same Cardi fan also appears to have admitted to creating the Beverly Bardan name used to start the petition.
11:03 AM PT -- It's unclear how many, if any, of Nicki's neighbors actually signed the Change.org petition calling for her to move -- and there's some strong evidence the whole thing is an elaborate troll of Nicki Minaj, possibly courtesy of a Cardi B superfan.
We contacted the Hidden Hills Community Association, which the petition encourages neighbors to contact with complaints about Nicki and Kenneth. An HHCA official told us they were unaware of the petition, or of a Beverly Barden -- the woman listed as starting the petition -- living there.
We've checked and there is no public listing of a Beverly Barden in Hidden Hills, and when ya think about it ... the name does seem like a play off the Bardi Gang, the name Cardi's fans use.
Hidden Hills isn't big enough for Nicki Minaj and her convicted felon husband ... at least that's what some of Nicki's neighbors think ... and they want the couple out pronto.
There's a petition circulating online from Hidden Hills residents worried about Nicki and her hubby, Kenneth Petty, moving into the fancy neighborhood ... and hundreds of folks have signed on.
The petition, which was started by Hidden Hills resident Beverly Bardan, takes issue with the fact Kenneth is a registered sex offender after being convicted in New York of attempted rape back in 1995 in a case that landed him in prison for more than 4 years.
As for why the new attention on Petty, he recently filed new legal docs changing his address on the Megan's Law website, so you gotta imagine the neighbors took note.
Nicki and Kenneth bought a mansion in Hidden Hills back in December, and as we first reported ... Kenneth is currently serving one year of home detention for failing to register as a sex offender in California.
The way Beverly seems to see it ... the mere presence of Nicki and Kenneth in Hidden Hills would hurt home values and create safety concerns.
Beverly is encouraging Nicki's neighbors to warn residents about Kenneth ... and she wants folks to sign the petition to "SHOW that you are against sex offenders in our Hidden Hills neighborhood!"
The petition, titled "SAY NO TO SEX OFFENDERS IN HIDDEN HILLS," was launched shortly after Nicki dropped $19.5 million on her estate ... but it's gained a lot of traction lately, with over 100 signatures in the last few days, bumping the number to 862 and counting.
Hidden Hills is becoming the new Beverly Hills ... other celebs with homes in the area include Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Kris Jenner, plus Will and Jada.
