Everyone here focused on the cash for some reason.
The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash, the law enforcement source said.
The only saving grace is they can lock out that one badge. Hopefully she reported it quickly.
Shouldn’t have to remind them, it’s literally DHS, but hope they shut down that badge’s access.
Who the hell still carries around paper checks? I think I’ve written a total of 3 checks in the past 4-5 years, all for home service like plumbers.
It’s so she can write bad checks.
For me, I hand write checks weekly. That 3 percent credit card fee can add up quickly. Invoice me, and get the total payed at the end of the month. Also handy for person to person transactions, where cash is impractical.
That’s why I pay my rent with check, hand delivered to their office. That 3% is a significant chunk of money.

My hairdresser takes check or cash. No cards.
I write one check every month for my rent.
I do, they’re useful for tipping my hairdresser & the shampoo girl and I don’t want to remember to put one in my wallet each time, so I just keep a bunch in my wallet
My therapist only takes cash or checks.
I’m european, born in the 90’s. I’ve never in my life seen a check in person… By the 00’s everyone either had a credit card or just used cash.
Italy here, I handled lots of those when I had a business dealing with other businesses. Never for personal stuff, for that I’d have a cashier’s check printed at the bank
Who the hell still carries around paper checks?
Old people who wish to punish everyone else in line at the grocery store.
Big chains accept checks? 😳
I fix cars at a big retail chain and yep. There’s instant verification now where in order to accept it we have to punch all the info into some service on the POS computer to make sure the check clears, but if it does, yeah we take those. Money is money. Checks are still issued and cashed by banks so we still take em.
You say money is money, but I can’t even count the times I’ve seen No cash, no card or other ridiculous rules.

Oh no, not my prescription crack pipe!
The person who was responsible for locking out badges was let go last month.
There was a Twitter story where Elon fired so many Twitter folks that for a large window of time, a lot of things was available to the public because the person in charge was fired.
Most people would not have “quick” context for an “access badge”. But they do instantly understand “cash”.
Implying it wasn’t staged
Hopefully she reported it quickly.
Why? Any rando wandering in can’t be worse than the people who are already there.
I’m laughing at the idea of a hobo walking in smelling like piss and shit and wearing her badge, and staff going, “Morning Kristi!”.
“Have you noticed Kristi seems more like an actual human being than usual?”
She smells worse, but damned if she isn’t so much nicer.
“Not that much worse, mind you.”
How could we forget about the makeup bag?
Joke aside, the access badge can be revoked immediately (unless Elon somehow fucked that up too). Locks can be changed (and she can probably have that done quickly by a security detail as well as a sweep of the apartment). Blank checks can be canceled at the bank (basically a bulk stop payment on the range of check numbers).
Passport may be a bigger concern, but for someone in a cabinet-level position, anyone attempting to use it would probably be questioned pretty thoroughly.

Elon Musky definitely fucked it up.

No, selling the USB stick was where she got the $3000 cash.

Checks?! She have some clipped coupons in there too? Damn grandma.
She had a copy of The Epic of Gilgamesh on stone tablets she was reading.
TBH I’m surprised the bag itself doesn’t cost more.
The bag could have cost anything.
The title says she has $3000 in cash.
It would be a funny onion article to talk in depth about the very specific items, brands of makeup, number of coins, etc.
Yes. And the article has words AND numbers in it. I have it on good authority.
Was this a targeted theft, or merely a crime of opportunity?
I mean unless her phone was in it… although who just walks around DC with $3k lmao
I once knew a rich guy who carried two envelopes in his suit pockets. One carried small bills for tips and such, and the other carried large bills because “you never know when you are going run across a good gun deal.”
I’m pretty sure if I want a good gun deal I’m leaving DC and going to Virginia
It’s about the info IN the bag, not the money. Crewde tials, phone, maybe ID. This was a targeted hit 100% because the world’s intelligence agencies now know how fucking stupid these people are.
Like, dumb enough to not notice a tail, then get your bag stolen from a restaurant with all kinds of goodies in it dumb.
But obviously it was stolen by a liberal, not a foreign agent, so you’re obviously wrong and stupid.
And probably never had the courage to senselessly murder a puppy that wouldn’t obey a command.
Well yeah. They were wearing a COVID mask.
What foreign country already doesn’t already have all the access to these cucklefucks already?
There’s a good chance that the free buffet won’t last forever. They want to get their tendrils as deep as they can when the door is wide open.
Her phone wasn’t in the bag from any reporting I’ve seen. But she could easily be lying about that.
If it was a targeted intelligence action, all they got was her (now cancelled) DHS access badge. Russia already has front door access to the white house and probably everything doge has touched. China can just ask Russia if musk hasn’t filled them in yet.
I think it’s much more likely that she’s just a clueless rich moron who got her bag stolen.
Not all the tials were crewde.
If a black guy was pulled over with that much cash, the cops would civil forfeiture it because it is obviously proceeds from drug dealing.
I trust they are now investigating her ties to the drug trade?
Human trafficking is probably the more promising direction.
Don’t forget to include animal executions…
Silly goose, she’s buying drugs.
Have you seen her Meth campaign in South Dakota? Slogan is ‘Meth, we’re on it!’ https://youtu.be/7LVcI-DQdYA
Meth campaign in South Dakota
Is that where it was so bad they had Gators on it? Or was that Kentucky? (Suddenly I have no idea where your provinces are)
No gators in KY; gotta go farther south.
If gators and meth are involved it’s Florida
The 80s called. They want their shoulder pads back.
You know who carries large amounts of cash?
People who get paid in cash.
I had the same thought.
Can’t even manage her own security, smh.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer Nazi bitch
Brutal, I love it.
You can’t claim cash on insurance. Once it is gone, it is gone. You can’t put stop payments on it or trace it easily either. It is simply a loss for her.
Loss for her, win for me.
Drug using dog killer obviously can’t be trusted, she was clearly on the way to buy more drugs. Lost more state secrets than Donald’s toilet library
Ok but actually though, who the fuck has $3000 in CASH just for going out to eat???
People with under the table (off the books) laborers to pay.
Someone who was just payed $3K for some juicy Intel or documents.
She probably was going to buy or sell something. How much is a Tesla?
Police were able to recover the bag that only contained $500
Bribe gone bad, reported stolen.
Hunter’s Laptop people speaking up in 3…2…1… wait where are they???
