A laptop computer containing floor plans for Trump Tower, information about the Hillary Clinton email investigation and other national security information was stolen from a Secret Service agent's vehicle in Brooklyn, police sources told the Daily News.
Authorities have been frantically searching for the laptop since it was stolen Thursday morning — and are trying to determine if the thief knew what he was taking or randomly targeted the agent’s vehicle.
NYPD cops were assisting in the investigation but had scant information on exactly what’s on the laptop, sources said.
"The Secret Service is very heavily involved and, citing national security, there's very little we have on our side," a police source said. "It's a very big deal.”
"There's data on there that's highly sensitive,” the source said. “They're scrambling like mad.”
The information on the laptop cannot be remotely erased, sources said.
Other items stolen include “sensitive” documents, an access keycard, coins, a black zippered bag with the Secret Service insignia on it and Secret Service lapel pins from various assignments — including ones involving Donald Trump, the Hillary Clinton campaign, the United Nations General Assembly and the Pope’s visit to New York, sources said.

I would bust the whole agency down to parks and recreation, and bring in our best military elite units to handle presidential security.
The Secret Service is proving to be filled with typical gubmint drones and nimrods who can't find their asses with both hands.
Curious if it was in his trunk or in the car.
There are regulations about storing these things. It appears the SS got lax during/after the past administration.
Another article says at 8:40 Am, sorry. The various articles say all different things.
Trump setting more traps.
What we have here, Ladies and Gentlemen, is NOT a theft; it’s a “leak,” and the next two words this Agent needs to hear from her Boss are “YOU’RE FIRED!”
Trump setting more traps.
This!
this is just wrong on multiple levels... guess she missed school the day the SS taught securing classified information
THAT IS WHY BILL AND HILLARY CONTINUE TO DO THESE TRICKS...
I hate it when that happens. Ruins my whole day
Does anybody notice a pattern here? Healthcare executives with hundreds of thousands of ssn’s whose laptops are stolen out of their convertibles? Not to be sexist, but they’re all women. WTF is an SS agent doing leaving a laptop in a car at 3 am? She too lazy to bring it in the house? Or was it meant to be absconded with?
“sounds to me like a give away made to look like a theft”
I am increasing thinking that is the case. It might have been one rogue agent who was offered a bundle of cash and couldn’t resist.
“No, this was no random robbery. I hope the agent is no longer employed by SS.”
And if they find sufficient evidence to charge her, jail time for being a traitor.
100%

Why is that a capability I have built-in to all my Macs, iPads, and iPhone to remotely track and erase a stollen device; but somehow the Secret Service does not. Freaking amateur hour operation.
Clapper? Enough of your disseminations....
Copper clapper caper?
Maybe Carlos the Danger stole it.
Don’t buy it. Too many details from “neighbors” who were supposedly up at 3 AM? Yeah, right. The Deep State continues...
I think this may have been a non-protective employee trying to warn DJT? Initially, reports were she told the cops HRC emails, TT schematics, and data on the Pope were on it.
Seems the Pope is dropping out of the coverage.
It’s apparently a motor sickle.
