Democratic Convention Organizers Claim $500K of Lost Electronics
ABC News ^ | June 14, 2013 | Garrett Bruno

The Democratic National Convention may be long over, but its organizers have not forgotten the almost half a million dollars worth of electronics they seem to have lost.

Organizers of the Charlotte, N.C., convention have filed a police report for lost and stolen electronics, some of which they appear to have valued at as much as 62 times the listed market prices.

A reportedly stolen 13-inch MacBook Pro laptop? $75,537. The price listed on the Apple website is $1,199. A lost iPhone? $30,503. A lost Blackberry? $54,250.

The DNC did not respond to a request for comment.

Calls to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department for elaboration on the report were not returned.

Other items reported to have gone missing at the convention included two iPads worth around $15,000 each, laptops listed at $40,000, $34,000 and $25,000 each, and other miscellaneous items worth far more than their list price.

The report claimed that 40 items were reported lost and one item – the most highly valued one, the $75,000 MacBook Pro – was stolen.

The value claimed includes the lists of enemies and dirt on those enemies. All that confidential data used to discredit enemies was obtained at tremendous cost

Recall tht the Democrat party is a criminal enterprise and the criminally obtained data becomes very expensive

No insurance company is going to pay prices like this.

A liberal company would.

But the real benefits will come from a liberal IRS who grants the nutty deductions.

Can't these people do anything without acting like a bunch of mobsters?

I'm sure most of the items that were "stolen" were just rats with their typical sense of entitlement helping themselves.

Most likely these electronic devices were not stolen either.

My guess is that they were given to campaign volunteers as gifts.

As for the stolen activity? I’d be looking over at janitorial services, who had free reign to roam. Either you are smart enough to lock everything in cabinets at night when you leave, or stupid enough not to care about property.

I doubt that. I think the convention staff took them home as spoils of war.

Just a practice run for Obamacare.

That aspirin you used to pay $27 for in hospital?

It’s $1400 now.

“Look for the “lost electronics” in the homes of the liberal convention organizers.”

Bingo!

That’s the reason they threw all of those little American flags down on the floor in the convention center... so they could carry more pilfered “stuff”.

ABC reporting that the DNC might be up to something shady?

Miracles can happen!

By doing this the DNC avoids paying taxes on the contribution and the insurer avoids gift taxes and can write of the contribution as a business loss.

And of course, it's not like the IRS is going to do anything about that, either. Because...Democrats.

When you think about it, it is exactly what the Dims have wanted for decades; government financed campaigns. The insurer gets back their money in reduced tax burden.

It’s really, really hard to put a price tag on all those conservative tax returns and other leaked government info the RATS had on their computers and cell phones.

Either took it themselves or a vendor did for never getting paid.
