I am hoping that the keys were not in the ignition. Talk about bad publicity. I am sure whoever took the vehicle will return it shortly.

My guess is that more than one somebody at FBI is in trouble.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

FBI vehicle containing several firearms stolen on Near West Side: FBI

CHICAGO NEWS 07/03/2017, 01:33pm

An FBI vehicle containing several firearms and tactical gear was stolen early Monday on the Near West Side, authorities said.

About 12:10 a.m., a 32-year-old FBI agent left the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox “momentarily unattended with the engine running” at a service station in the 300 block of South Morgan, according to Chicago Police and FBI spokesman John Althen.

A male suspect jumped in the vehicle and sped away, police said. No injuries were reported.

Firearms and tactical gear, including a ballistic vest, were inside the vehicle, Althen said; he would not say precisely how many weapons, or what type.

The theft was reported to the Chicago Police Department, which is working with the FBI to investigate, Althen said.

Anyone with information on the incident should contact the FBI or Chicago Police.

That's what I thought too, and like the first they forgot the tracking part.

If that agent is so stupid to leave his car running and unattended at a gas station, he is too stupid to be an FBI agent.

I hope he gets fired.

I have to agree. That is beyond stupid, it's malicious, willful incompetence. There is no excuse, no extenuating circumstances that would justify leaving the car running - even if it wasn't filled with weapons and tactical gear.

I just read the update. FBI is not releasing video at this time. I cannot see how this would hurt their investigation. I am more than curious now.

It has nothing to do with their investigation and EVERYTHING to do with trying to keep a tight lid on this with minimal media coverage.

As I said in another recent thread regarding FBI incompetence - a fish rots from the head down.

I hope the Agent is prosecuted, as I would be, for doing the same thing.
