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.

Hooboy.
Window “unzipped”. Was this guy driving a soft-top Jeep or something?
What moron leaves his gun in the car regardless of where you are going. SS guys never have to worry about metal detectors.
In another life I carried my ID and weapon 24/7. Cuffs and radio I understand but this loser is an idiot.
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.
He saw someone reaching into his vehicle, but he couldn’t shoot him why? Oh, his pistol was in the bag in the car that was stolen? You’re fired!
Well, I won't go THERE anymore...
Dam it, that flash drive had the FBI case on Hillary’s emails on it!
The administration officials intuitively do not want to hire any capable people who would show them up with competence.
That agent needs to be fired immediately. No.. effing.. excuse.
I hate when my badge, gun, and secret service equipment gets stolen from my convertible when I’m in the club. Sometimes it makes me feel I’m doing something wrong.
“In another life I carried my ID and weapon 24/7.”
I remember the sh*t storm that follows when somebody’s weapon goes missing. Wonder if that’s going to happen here?
I take it this does not bode well for the career of this individual.
He needs to be fired.
If I saw somebody reach into my vehicle, I would beat them if they gave me no good reason not to.
This whole story sounds suspicious. Why would an agent ever leave his ID and weapon in a car? And he just happens to see the guy reaching into the car?
I’m thinking this thing is a phony cover story. My bet is the agent had a little “entertainment” the prior evening and the “entertainment” stole stole his stuff when she left the hotel room. He later wakes up and has an “oh crap” moment.
He needs to be schlonged.
Sig Sauer handgun
That would be a powerful, combat assault handgun.
