RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — At least no one left the keys to Air Force One in the ignition.
In an egg-on-face moment for the government ahead of President Barack Obama's visit to Virginia, someone stole a Pentagon truck containing $200,000 worth of presidential seals, podiums, and sound equipment [and presumably including the essential ever present teleprompters] from outside a suburban hotel Monday, Richmond TV stations reported, citing unidentified police sources.
Authorities found the truck later in the day at another hotel near the Richmond airport, according to the news reports. But no one would say whether the items inside had been located.
Speech aids worth $200,000 plus cost of hauling them about ? ? ? ?
