Secret Service recovers truck with Biden supplies

[monmouth]

The Secret Service says it has recovered a stolen rental truck that was carrying equipment for Vice President Joe Biden's Labor Day visit to Detroit.

Agency spokesman Ed Donovan tells The Detroit News that the U-Haul truck stolen early Sunday outside the Westin Book Cadillac hotel was found Monday in a parking lot about three miles away.

Donovan had said the truck had equipment but no weapons on board. He declined to say whether any of the equipment was stolen. Messages seeking information were left for Detroit police on Monday. Biden addressed a union rally Monday to mark Labor Day. The rally site is near the hotel.

1. They spend 100s of thousands on security, yet....

they can't put a $150 motion detector in the truck that would have alerted someone that the
truck was being tanpered with. I guess, if they did tha it would put secret service agents out
of a job.

Sorry, never mind, carry on!

Dollar wise...

And who do we have coordinating homeland security?
Oh, thank the Lord it isn't the secret service!

2. Oh yeah, we want to trust the safety of our highest elected officials to

electronic devices and not human eyes and ears - to save a buck.

Are you sure you've come to the right place??

3. What I meant - they could have avoided the truck from being stolen....

if they had used a very inexpensive device.

I am just proposing that they put their faith in a tactic that failed
and it could have been avoided.

Not difficult to understand

I'm not saying to get rid of the secret service people.
