2 Guns, Bible Stolen From GOP Rep. Tom Graves SUV in Atlanta
Two guns, a driver’s license, credit cards, birth certificates, a laptop, and a Bible were among the items stolen last weekend from an SUV that belongs to Rep. Tom Graves of Georgia, Atlanta police said.
The Republican congressman and staffer Travis Loudermilk returned to Graves’ GMC Yukon last Saturday night in downtown Atlanta and drove at least a mile before they discovered the items were missing, according to a police report obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Loudermilk is the son of Georgia GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk.
Investigators later determined the likely thief picked the lock on the driver-side door.
“I hope these knuckleheads will read the Bible and make a return,” Graves said in a statement to the AJC Thursday. “Regardless, I’m very grateful for the swift response of the Atlanta Police Department, the U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement officers. I’m confident they will see this incident through to its conclusion.”
The perpetrators apparently swiped numerous highly sensitive financial and identification documents from the vehicle.
Graves' congressional ID, bank cards, a checkbook, passport and Social Security papers were also missing, he told police.

1. WTF? Only a total idiot would leave all those items in a vehicle.
Why did he and where was he going and what was he doing with all that stuff in the vehicle?
Victim shamer.

Victim shamer.

8. agree totally. couldn't he take the briefcase with him? A woman would not leave
such items in a car, locked or not.
But she leaves her lady bits exposed when she decides to dress all slutty ...

13. I live in Georgia.
I would never leave important items and documents in a locked vehicle in my own Georgia town or, especially, in Atlanta.
Heck, I had my W-2 form with me yesterday on my way home from work. I got home and immediately put the W-2 form in my locked fireproof document box.
Remember the GA county election official who had electronic/digital poll machines stolen from his personal/privately owned vehicle which was parked at a suburban Metro Atlanta area strip mall prior to the 2016 elections?
Wait, you mean you’re prepared for a fire, AND you anticipate someone breaking into your house ... to steal your W-2?? LOL But you won’t own a gun and want to ensure I can’t own one either.

4. Were the guns properly stored?
If not, the police should deal with it.
Yeah ... that’s right, this asshole thinks the cops should arrest the victim. Probably doesn’t believe in the death penalty unless you do something like have your personal items stolen by some hood rats.

17. Thats why I have a small handgun safe bolted to the floor under my seat
Work often takes me places I can’t carry like Federal facilities, and I find that a better solution than locking them in the trunk.
In a SUV where a trunk isn’t an option good secure storage is even more important. Having just a piece of glass between anything of value and a thief isn’t security

18. Trunks aren't safe either as a friend of mine found out in Atlanta after having items stolen
My friend was there for a conference and left her car in parking garage for several hours, leaving some items in the locked trunk that were stolen.
Well, according to all your compatriots at the DUmp, your friend is a dumbass for leaving anything in her car and it’s her fault she was robbed, and honestly if she was dressed provacitively and she got raped, your friends there would want the cops to arrest her for not storing her lady bits properly.
These people are such hypocrites.
