The thief who swiped a Secret Service agents laptop targeted the agent in question and knew exactly what he was after ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
Our sources say the thief -- whom they say is a man -- was caught on surveillance video pulling up to the agent's driveway in an Uber at around 3 AM Thursday. The video shows the man make a beeline for the agent's car, removing a backpack with the computer inside and then walking off. As we reported, the hard drive contained Trump Tower floor plans and evacuation protocols, but the agency insists there was no classified info inside.
The thief also made off with a passport and several Secret Service lapel pins. It's unclear what the thief was looking for if all the content was non-sensitive. We're told the video is grainy so it's hard to make out the thief's features, but it's definitely a lead.
Good point, TMZ’s reporting on the incident is very vague.
Haha good one!
When you’re a govt. employee (which is now considered a life long career), 2 years relatively is considered “new” to the job.
I wonder if we will find out the password on the stolen SS laptop is actually PASSWORD as the thief would NEVER suspect that.
I thought the SS agent that had the laptop given away was ANOTHER female?
Last Friday I received a US Treasury check indicating my income tax was over paid
Today I received a notice indicating I owed the precise same amount for income taxes un paid
My pint is.....it’s not an excuse.
I know I was just being facetious.
I had the identical thing happen some years ago with them. It took somewhat longer for the notice to me that back taxes were owed for the amount they sent.
I had a company issued lap top from a financial institution I worked for. I was very specifically trained and told to NOT leave in the car, and that I was personally responsible for it. That was about 10-12 years ago.
If our Secret Service isn’t teaching their agents to properly protect their laptops, then we got big problems. But, I’m damn sure they did, and it’s documented. This agent did this on purpose and he needs to go to jail.
I’ll leave it in my unlocked car, come steal it. We will get rid of Trump yet.
Ok. Color me confused. This article says stolen from a car. This link says motor cycle. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3536999/posts?page=21
How can it be both.
