Lucas County Democratic headquarters burglarized
BLADE STAFF
The Lucas County Democratic Headquarters was burglarized overnight, and three computers, including the party’s main system, were stolen.
The computers contained highly sensitive information, including the party’s financial information, names and personal phone numbers of hundreds of party members, candidates, and volunteers.
The computers also stored e-mails from candidates that included discussion about campaign strategy.
A second computer, belonging to an attorney-volunteer working to ensure voters’ rights, also was taken, officials said.
The headquarters on 1817 Madison Avenue does have an alarm system that volunteers believed they set late Monday when they left.
However, it apparently wasn’t tripped during the night. Workers arriving about 7:30 a.m. yesterday noticed the back window had been shattered and called police. For more information, see tomorrow’s edition of The Blade and toledoblade.com.

What do you want to bet this break-in is as authentic as all those hate-based church burnings?
I'm sure we will now hear from the MSM how this act was the worst case of political high crimes since Watergate (and ignoring the number of similar break-ins at Bush-Cheney HQs around the country).
Crossed my mind as well.
Probably an inside job to take attention away from all the vandelized GOP headquarters.
What do you want to bet this one actually gets "Watergate" type coverage, and all the break-ins to Repub headquarters of course will not factor!!!
We're better than this.
LOL Great minds! I guess we were posting at the same time ;)
It'll get far more play than the THREE break-ins at Bush campaign offices, THREE Bush campaign offices that had their windows shot out (one while occupied), and SEVERAL Bush campaign offices that were invaded by the AFL-CIO COMBINED.
My first thought exactly.
what better place to grab some computers and cheap!
We are. Which is probably why we didnt do it. No alarm sounded even though there was smashed glass? Hmm...
you wanna bet all their data was 'miraculously' backed up the previous afternoon?
Yep, an inside job.
"The headquarters on 1817 Madison Avenue does have an alarm system that volunteers believed they set late Monday when they left."
Either they have a republican mole, not likely since no Republican could survive long in such a hate filled negative environment, or they have decided to take the preferred Democrat position of pitiful victim.
Hey, what would stop the demo-lawyer from 'claiming' his computer was stolen when he really wanted to get Macintosh's latest from his insurance?
Frankly I think this is happening too often in too many places for it to be a coinkydink! Have marching orders gone out?
Boo fricken hoo. They probably did this themselves to make the AFL-CIO sponsored break-ins look like an equal opportunity crime.
Apparently who ever did this knew how to circumvent the alarm.
OOps meant to say that this has happened at BUSH headquarters, too many times.
