Whoever stole it is a dumass POS and will probably be flying it some where.
People in the area need to be on the look out.

So this would be a federal crime

It was Govt property operated by a Govt Agency, remember in portland and seattle the govt did nothing until the ‘peaceful protesters’ tried to mess with federal property.

That was because Trump was the president. The demented old fool now occupying the white hut won’t do anything.

I have a hunch that those who stole the flags are not the American flag waving sort.

But we all know that painting over a BLM “mural” is so much worse. \S

I would check the campsites used by the homeless people. There are hundreds if not thousands of vagrants camping in West Los Angeles near the cemetery. Are any of them living in a large red, white, and blue tent with 50 stars on it?

My bet is that a homeless encampment just got a new tarp.
