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.

I ask myself that question everyday.
I agree. The story does not add up. Why would a SS agent leave his gun and badge in the car? Wasn’t the car locked? Was he blackmailed to hand over those items?
Secret service?
What a joke. But, given the cretin they’re hired to protect, no wonder they don’t give a ***t about risking their lives for a slimy uneducated faker.
Yeah, this doesn’t pass the smell test.
Sig makes an excellent .380 sub compact.
Thugs have gotten more considerate “the back rear window of his car had been “unzipped.” In the old days, they just cut the ragtop with a knife. Of course, folks were smart enough to lock their valuables in the trunk or at least the glovebox.
Not only has Barry managed to degrade the USA, he’s also turned the Secret Service into a shadow of its former competence.
Sounds scary and foreign. Bet it’s loud too.
Idiot? Perhaps.
Or is this some sort of set-up for who knows what? /tinfoil
And why is this posted from Honolulu, Hawaii? Did everyone at CNN jump on the plane to cover Obamugabe on vacation? Nobody left in DC to file this story?
Unless the car is 1970s vintage. Windshields and rear windows are glued in with structural polyurethane.
It takes a good tech 10-15 minutes to remove. Not really a good way to break into a car.
Our Hero!! They don’t make cowboys like they used to. However, he was a very poor Genghis Khan -perhaps J. Kerry might have been better (tongue pressed firmly in cheek)
Texas Rangers don’t come to Maine to make arrest or frame folks.
They might do the former if given sufficient provocation or offered a bowl of chowder.
They would never do the latter.

‘’Why would a SS agent leave his gun and badge in the car?’’
What kind of dolts are they hiring for SS? DH worked for a missile defense contractor for 30 years. If his laptop or work briefcase were in the car, we couldn’t even stop to eat or shop for five minutes. It was prohibited to have them out of his possession for any reason. And this guy leaves everything in his car? Either the story isn’t true or the quality of personnel is abysmal.
Gov Employees are comprised of a lot of online degree types. Hell, the clown could have been a janitor at a VA and got his/her online BS in law enforcement/corrections.
To this I am in complete agreement, Ceterum censeo 0bama esse delendam.
