A gun stolen from University of California at Berkeley Police Chief Margo Bennett's SUV as she jogged at the Point Isabel Regional Shoreline in Richmond on Friday morning was not secured except being in the locked SUV, a UC Berkeley police lieutenant said Monday.

In addition to the loaded gun, Bennett's badge and official laptop were also stolen from the unmarked police Ford Escape. The gun was not stored in a safe and did not have a trigger lock, UC Berkeley police Lt. Marc DeCoulode said.

The burglary was reported at 8:17 a.m. Friday in the parking lot near the Mudpuppies dog grooming business, park officials said. Bennett had gone for a jog and returned to find a rear window of the SUV smashed.

In addition to the badge, loaded gun and department-issued laptop, a diamond ring, an iPad, a cellphone and her police identification were stolen from the car, East Bay Regional Park District spokeswoman Carolyn Jones said.

DeCoulode said department-issued computers are typically password-protected but would not say whether there was sensitive information stored on the computer.

"She's rather upset," DeCoulode said. "It just shows that anyone can be the victim of a crime so if anyone sees suspicious activity we hope they will report it."

Auto burglaries are common at East Bay shoreline parks, where easy access from the freeway lets thieves get in and out of the parking lots quickly, Jones said. Such burglaries are most common in the Berkeley Marina.

Police recommend not bringing valuables to parks if possible, and otherwise to keep them out of view. They also recommend putting valuables in the trunk of the car before arriving at the park as thieves may be watching people arriving.

The department works to cut down on burglaries of park visitors by regularly patrolling parking lots, having maintenance staff keep an eye on things as well, and maintaining foliage around the lots to limit hiding places, Jones said.

Only two words come to mind.












Affirmative Action

I assume she has been charged under CA's tough safe storage laws?

So the civilians who are allowed to buy the 10 different guns on the California approved safety list have to keep their firearms secured with a trigger lock in a safe in the trunk but the trained California law enforcement officials leave theirs on the dash and dare the illegal immigrants to break the law?

 I take they have legalized thievery in the progressive state of California ?

Animals and equality.

nvm

I guess Petraeus learned he wasn't equal to Hillary and Kate's family learned she wasn't equal to an illegal immigrant.

That guy fucked up.

I got nothing good to say....

In the summer of transgender news I can see why a lesbian police chief would make it hard to tell. I'm not sure which of the 6 genders applies

shit, i bet there will be some stupid ass law coming up in a few months that makes it illegal to disclose how someone self identifies and we will be all shitting on one bathroom

If it grows  legs, it will happen there first. Confliction- the natural state of Progressivism.

Come on you know after two beers and a shot you be rubbing your pathetic pecker up against it.

I wouldnt think to leave any of those items in my car

 

She's a professional victim

 

I was thinking "dumb motherfucker".

Well that's the brilliance you get from a University of California Police Chief. Imagine all the other magnificent decisions she's made.

I assume she will be charged, or is she special?

Sanctuary cities FTW

I was going to say Bull Dyke but yeah that too.



 

Shackle her!

Given the gun was loaded, also against California state law, she must be extra special.

I do...  but don't want the timeout or ban....

I was thinking more along the lines of:

Pair of Gun-Toting Suspects Steal UC Berkeley Student's Cellphone ...

NBC Bay Area-Aug 7, 2015

A 20-year-old male student at the University of California at Berkeley was robbed at gunpoint early Friday morning, campus police said.

I have to admit for the longest I stored my concealed pistol in the locked vehicle at work or the few times at a voting booth or fed building and considered my locked vehicle just like my locked home as "reasonably" secure.
I now own a pretty beefy American Security BF safe in the home and have finally bought a Hornady 16 gauge pistol lock box that is tethered to a body part in the trunk.
It's terrible that someone would be called irresponsible to not have all of these things to secure firearms.
And I don't at all agree with it but at the same time I don't want these asshats gaining possession of any of my guns either.
Damn if you do and damn if you don't.

Did the FBI ever get charged when they lost all those select fire MP5's, pistols, mags, armor, flash grenades, etc.?

How about the officer who had the 10mm MP5, RRA LAR15, and Springfield 1911 stolen from his vehicle in front of his house?
