Vandals broke into the McCain-Palin Campaign headquarters in Independence Missouri on Thursday before a speech by John McCain at the Independence Truman Library. KMOV reported on the latest crime against a GOP office.

The Republican Party is tightening security at four Missouri phone banks after a break-in and theft of a laptop at one of the offices.

Police in the Kansas City suburb of Independence said Thursday that a rock was thrown through a window to gain entry to the McCain/Victory Office. A campaign staffer's laptop and satchel were taken between 10 p.m. Tuesday and 6 a.m. Wednesday.

The theft took place in the hours before GOP presidential nominee John McCain's speech Wednesday at the Truman Presidential Library and Museum in Independence, Truman's hometown.

Missouri Republican Party spokeswoman Tina Hervey said 24-hour security is being established at GOP offices in St. Louis, Independence, St. Charles and Springfield.

I never, never, never leave my laptop at the office. It comes with me wherever I go, unless it's locked up at home. It is never unattended. To do otherwise invites theft.

What do you think the chances are that 'Rats had something to do with the crime?

This sounds like a reverse Watergate to me, but it will never get the same media attention, simply because of MSM has a double standard.

That’s what I was wondering. WHO would leave their laptop in a known (by the opposition) political office during an election as vicious as this one?!?!

These are the people who shared government data with teh DNC.

The people who illegally possessed almost 1000 FBI files.

The people who forged an alleged government documetn to get a willing network to put out a knowlingly false report.

The people who illegally invaded Michael Steele’s credit report.

The people who hacked into Sarah Palin’s credit report.

This is a pattern of behavior by those folks. When are we going to get some action to prosecute them and stop these kinds of activities?

The prosecutors are in the same bed with them, too.

“Transferred...?” You mean “taken by”.

The Obama Chicago thug machine is just warming up. They already vandalized our Republican office where I am months ago.

Step #1: Fire the staffer.

Step #2: Let other staffers know that a similar fate awaits similar carelessness...I mean, aren’t they paying attention to the way things are these days??
