Thieves broke into the Los Angeles office of embattled PR guru Jeffrey Epstein and stole a work computer — a day before long-sealed court documents related to the convicted pedophile were released to the public, police said.
Michael Sitrick, of A-list global crisis PR firm Sitrick & Company, said crooks broke into his company’s offices in a four-story Brentwood building on Jan. 2, but ruled out any connection between the break-in and the release this week of nearly 900 documents from a 2015 defamation suit that was settled by Epstein’s alleged vic Virginia Giuffre.
“There can’t be any connection because it doesn’t make sense,” Sitrick insisted to The Post.
Sitrick said the thieves only stole computers used by accounts payable employees, and indicated that other company offices in the building were also broken into on Tuesday, he added.
He also said neither his private office nor his assistants were tampered with.

“If the thieves were after anything related to Epstein or anyone else, how can someone explain why my office wasn’t broken into?” he said, adding that there were no documents in his office connected to Epstein.
Police responded to a burglary call at 11999 San Vicente Boulevard shortly after 12:30 p.m. local time, with the perpetrators gaining entry to the building by breaking a glass door, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson told The Post.

A spokeswoman for the woman declined to provide further details about the burglary.
The PR crisis specialist said she began working with the child sex abuser in 2011, following a Post story detailing Epstein’s friendship with Prince Andrew.
Sitrick said he had fired Epstein as a client about a year before his company sued the child sex offender in 2014 to recover more than $71,000 in unpaid bills, which he eventually claimed.
