BOSTON (CBS) ― Police are investigating a burglary at the Boston offices of the community activist group ACORN.

Boston police told CBS station WBZ-TV Friday that three Dell laptop computers were stolen from the group's Dorchester, Mass. office around 10:15 p.m. Wednesday.

According to police, the alarm had also been ripped from the wall and wires had been damaged.

The police report says two downstairs offices also were ransacked, two vending machines were damaged and change stolen from them.

A representative from the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now said he did not know if the break-in was politically motivated, but called the timing "suspicious."........."

The timing is suspicious alright, just as the FBI is investigating.

[mgc1122]

Check Boston harbor ... I’m sure you’ll find it.

[mockingbyrd]

well isn't that convenient?

[Holicheese]

“According to police, the alarm had also been ripped from the wall and wires had been damaged.”
Why do that when you have the alarm code!

[NewHampshireDuo]

Sounds like a typical day in Dorchester except nobody got shot. Day’s not over however.

[Mr. Jazzy]

What a GREAT way to dispose of evidence!

A McAmnesty/Palin volunteer was the culprit, no doubt!

[realcleanguy]

How do you hide the evidence? Stage a break in, and destroy the evidence to keep from getting arrested

[Farmer Dean]

Stole their own computers,can’t have evidence like that available to the FBI.

[Travis T. OJustice]

Well, isn't that conveeeeeeeenient.

[cripplecreek]

Stolen or made to disappear?

[SueAngel]

Chuck the damning evidence now before the FBI gets a hold of it.

[just me]

They did this themselves...

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Stolen before the FBI could seize them with a warrant??

[Thane_Banquo]

"Police are investigating a burglary at the Boston offices of the community activist group ACORN."

You'd think CBS would have the staff to correct these obvious typos.

[stocksthatgoup]

It must have been the Srub woman!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Destruction and or theft of evidence.

Maybe not by ACORN staff, but by agents operating on their behalf and behest to spirit incriminating hard disks outta that place. We all know what they are doing. There should be an immediate court order to place a quarantee on ALL ACORN OFFICES and allow nothing to be removed without authorization, and command all hard disks, CD-Roms, e mails be preserved.

[stocksthatgoup]

It must have been the Scrub woman!

[Michael.SF.]

My first thought as well. My second........... Insurance scam.

I do not think insurance covers FBI confiscations for investigative purposes.

[Fresh Wind]

If this is a genuine robbery, it would be an real tragedy for ACORN. Without those records, they wouldn’t know what phony names to use when they go to the polls.

[FlingWingFlyer]

“Stolen!” ROTFL!!! *wink* *wink* It’s definitely past time to start throwing some ACORNs in jail.

[LibWhacker]

Not a coincidence. The FBI should raid every one of their offices and seize all their records and computers.

[andy58-in-nh]

Well, they must have just *accidentally* left the door unlocked. Gee, that's too bad. Guess the FBI will never be able to find out what was on those computers now. Oh well. Nothing to see here, Move On... er, I mean move along.

[George Smiley]

Destruction of evidence disguised as a burglary, IMHO.

[ninergold3]

My guess is that it was one of the low-lifes that ACORN registered. Maybe he/she found out that some people were getting paid to register and he/she didn’t. They only want the wealth spread around.

[NCPAC]

“How do you hide the evidence? Stage a break in, and destroy the evidence to keep from getting arrested”

Exactly.

At this stage of the game, the only folks who benefit from these computers-gone-missing are those who work with/for Acorn and Obama.

It will be interesting to see how the media plays this.

[Snickersnee]

The guys in “the B” are quite accustomed to pre-investigatory “preemptive burglaries” like this. Now they have two crimes to investigate, and I’m sure they know who to look for. Oh, and keep the Boston PD and Mass SP far, far away....

[wideawake]

A representative from the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now said he did not know if the break-in was politically motivated, but called the timing "suspicious."........."

It sure is suspicious, ACORN guy.

Suspcious that your computers were "stolen" just before you might have to turn them over to the FBI.

That's obstruction of justice, and I hope the self-burgling ACORNs involved get a nice federal sentence for it.

[Above My Pay Grade]

This is serious! The personal information of Mickey Mouse and the Dallas Cowboys starting lineup might have been compromised, leaving them vulnerable to identity theft.

[illiac]

ACORN: It was just an inventory reduction sale.....

[A_Tradition_Continues]

and the Dallas Cowboys starting lineup

Check the offices of New England Patriots management and coaching staff.

[papasmurf]

No, it was an inside job by Dumocrats. You can tell because they took the change from the Coke machine.

[hosepipe]

-OR- it was an insurance scam by Obama demcorats..

[GulfBreeze]

Looks like a cover-up in an effort to get rid of evidence to me...

[LucyJo]

Oh my, young vandals must have done it...it’s so obvious, isn’t it?...change taken from the vending machines...electronics stolen...yes, wayward youths must have done it. /s

[San Jacinto]

LOL!! Computers stolen at Acorn! No way there could have been anything incriminationg on there. Just a mild coincidence. That’s all.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

By the employees?

[edzo4]

they lost all the new voter registrations,

now they are going to have to make up more new ones....

[VOA]

ACORN denies any fraud.

ACORN has a future in stand-up comedy.
Because that claim is one of the most laughable things I've ever heard!!!

[theDentist]

Of course, were someone to steal them and then send them to the FBI.... wouldn’t that make you smile.

[austinaero]

ACORN goons, destroying evidence.

[antiRepublicrat]

They got tipped off that the FBI would be raiding the office tomorrow.

[SuziQ]

Inside job to keep the Feds from finding anything.

[Carley]

Work accident.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Or one of their own hired felons needed money for drugs. If you noticed, they don’t have high standards for hiring.

[realcleanguy]

yep

[Mr. Jazzy]

Did the guy look like this?
