Honolulu, Hawaii (CNN)—A Secret Service agent's gun, badge, radio, handcuffs and flash drive were stolen in broad daylight Monday near the agency's headquarters in Washington, according to a police report and sources briefed on the incident.

The agent's belongings were taken from his personal vehicle while it was parked on G Place in downtown Washington around 4 p.m. ET.

A report filed with the Metropolitan Police Department several hours later describes the agent returning to his car and noticing the back rear window of his car had been "unzipped." The report says the agent noticed "a bag with the listed property was taken out of the vehicle."

The report lists a black Sig Sauer handgun, an APX6000 radio, handcuffs, a USB flash drive, a black Patagonia bag and a Secret Service badge, number 1266, as the stolen items.

The agent, who isn't named in the report but who a source said works in the Presidential Protective Division, saw a person reaching into the vehicle, the report states, "but didn't see him take anything out."

The Secret Service declined Tuesday to comment on the incident.

It's not known what was contained on the stolen flash drive.

Let’s be fair to Agent 1266. Maybe he didn’t know what city he was in.

Nobody gets fired in the government anymore. This could be the same schmuck that hit the barrier while driving a government vehicle... Drunk. In a world that made sense, he would have been fired immediately. Instead he was put on “administrative leave.”

Mr. Trump, please be aware of any new SS agent faces on your security team.

Could ‘unzip’ refer to removing the rubber moulding around the glass plate so that the window falls in or pops out?

I think you are right. carrying a weapon is second nature for law enforcement and only a moron would leave a handgun in a car

Methinks very soon said agent will be carrying a rubber gun (sans “bullets”) and not a real one...

The SS, the fbi, and 99% of the rest of the federal policia are punks, the only ones to be concerned with are the US Marshals.

Of the Feds, yes. But don't forget the Texas Rangers.

Ever since the early 1990s...the SS has been recruiting losers. I don’t know they hired in the HR department....but they need to fire the whole group and bring in new people to do the hiring.

Dan Bongino talks about this sometimes. I get the impression that it was much better when it was under Treasury and not Homeland Security.

Well obviously this is due to those lax gun laws outside of Washington DC.
