The mansion made famous in the original Home Alone film has increased police presence leading up to Christmas in fear of fans trying to recreate the theft from the movie just months after it was put on the market and sold. 

Deputy Chief Dylan Majcher of the Winnetka, Illinois police department told TMZ on Tuesday that the home gets such attention during the holidays that they get more security in the area every year. 

 The deputy chief says that the home is ‘surprisingly’ a huge draw for holiday tourists despite the film – which starred Macaulay Culkin – coming out nearly 35 years ago.

The law enforcement officer did say that there hasn’t been a major issue in the last few decades other than the occasional traffic jam. 

 Deputy Chief Majcher told the publication that prior owners of the home had never asked for ᴀssistance but they have always been active in patrolling the area to make sure everything was fine.

The home was sold for a whopping $5.25million in June just one week after being put on the market.
