Secret Service Van with Equipment for Biden's Detroit Visit Stolen - Polidicks

[quote]DETROIT (AP) -- The Secret Service says a truck rented to carry equipment for Vice President Joe Biden's Labor Day visit to Detroit was stolen outside a downtown Detroit hotel. Agency spokesman Ed Donovan told The Detroit News that the U-Haul truck was stolen outside the Westin Book Cadillac hotel early Sunday. Donovan says the truck had equipment but no weapons. Donovan says the theft won't affect Biden's Labor day plans. Biden is addressing a union rally Monday to mark Labor Day. The rally site is near the hotel. Detroit police spokeswoman Sgt. Eren Stephens says its officers are searching for the van.[/quote] [url=http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_SECRET_SERVICE_TRUCK_STOLEN?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-09-03-12-02-26]Source[/url] Good going, Secret Service. Good going.

it's detroit, it'd be weird if it wasn't stolen

It's not as bad as it seems, it was just a rented U-Haul truck carrying harmless equipment.

It's fucking Detroit, what did you expect?

Imagine if anti-government groups had an eye on it and took it at the right time dun dun dun

I wonder how hard it would be to sell stolen secret service equipment?

Is the Canadian side of Detroit any better? [editline]4th September 2012[/editline] Windsor I think it's called.

[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;37527214]It was recovered:[/QUOTE] Maybe the secret service didn't realize the hotel had free valet parking, and were too quick to assume that it was stolen. I don't blame them though, it's Detroit.
