And this guy is saying he can keep America secure?

As an aside, the best way for someone to spy on a political campaign is not
to steal the campaign's computers, but to plant spyware on them....

 

I wonder also if the BPD is now looking for these stolen computers and TV
set on Craig's List.

Break-in at Romney campaign headquarters in North End

t_romn.html

The presidential campaign headquarters of Mitt Romney were burglarized
overnight in the North End, according to a campaign spokesman. 

There was "forced entry" into the three-story waterfront building at 585
Commercial St. and several computers and a television were stolen, said
spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom. The break-in, which occurred late Sunday or early
Monday, did not appear to be politically motivated, he said. 

"By all appearances this is a routine burglary," Fehrnstrom said. "There
were a number of items that were left untouched -- files and the like."

Fehrnstrom referred additional questions to Boston police. He declined to
described how the burglar or burglars broke into the building. 

A law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the case said someone at
Romney's campaign headquarters reported the crime in a 911 call at 9:40 a.m.
and said that $20,000 worth of equipment was stolen. According to a
preliminary police report, entry was made through a third-floor window and
eight laptops and a 32-inch television were stolen. A Crime Scene Unit
responded to process the scene, and detectives from District A-1 are
conducting interviews.
