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.
[...]
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 report was filed almost eight months after the convention, when the losses supposedly took place.
The cost of the 41 missing electronics totaled $465,142.97, according to the police report.
That averaged $11,344 per item.
[The local host committee for the DNC was tasked with raising roughly $36 million to stage the convention, but the fundraising efforts fell short.
In May, Duke Energy announced that it would absorb the $10 million line of credit it gave to the host committee. Because the company could claim the loss as a business expense, its shareholders would only cover $6 million of the loan. ]
Taking it off the top and bottom ? The DNC and OBAMA didn’t pay their BILLS, then FORWARDED the BILLS to the SHAREHOLDERS of DUKE ENERGY , and now they want to scam the insurance claims for the stolen Items they didn’t pay for ?
That would have been the 'insured value', not the cost. The DNC didn't pay a cent for them. Duke Energy and their stockholders did.
I doubt you can insure items for many times their actual cost, though.
The rat party has to supply the ground troops
with sophistacted comm equipment for the comming
struggles somehow. Then they get to write it all
off. What a scam.
Was “lost or stolen” much like the ever popular “jobs created or saved” Just think of how maney louis viton bags or heroin could have been gotten with this haul, frig the obamaphones man! When’s the next rally?
