IMO this is probably more of a practical joke than thievery, but let's see.  The joker will get a rough time, regardless.

Well at least no dog was harmed in this incident.

One does have to ask, why did she need to be carrying 3 grand in cash?

pretty normal IMO, if spending lots of time outside the house and on travels.

First off, I don't think the cash issue matters at all. That said, it's really normal to carry around $3,000 in cash? Because in the wilderness that is Washington DC, credit cards and payment apps don't work?

You're aware that she gets Secret Service protection...  The same Secret Service that's been excoriated for DEI after multiple failures last year.

Apparently (according to her statements)  she had planned to give cash as gifts because her "entire family" was in town. The family Easter treat was at a place called Capital Burgerm where you can buy a Cheese burger for $20.

 

This is her entire family from that weekend. $3000 on Easter gifts for 4 adults and 2 toddlers. Hate to think what the Noem Christmas bill is lile. I'm sure its something ordinary voters can relate to. One wonders where the family dog is? Oh, thats right, she shot it.

 

 

 

 

 

Most normal people in the 21st Century might spend rather less on dinner, or at least pay using a card.

 

There will be some who insist on cash everywhere. In some cases, its because they don't want their actions to be traced. Possible indication of corruption.

Or maybe they're just not destitute Cheap Charlies who whine about getting cheated out of 5 baht by the Baht Buses.

My initial question as well.  The US runs on plastic cards.  Perhaps she ordered a little something  to keep the nose happy.

Is there a MAGA tariff on Colombian contraband?

About 7? billion who don't.

I use cashless where I  find it appropriate. Not at 7/11 for the brownie.

Never physically use a foreign credit card in Thailand.

Rarely having less than 10k Baht with me when going out.

Mayorkas did it. We can add it to his long list of crimes.

DHS chief Kristi Noem's purse stolen with thousands of dollars in DC restaurant: sources

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s purse was stolen with thousands in cash on Sunday night at a restaurant in Washington D.C., multiple sources from the agency confirmed to Fox News Digital.

The purse was taken by a White man wearing a mask, and the bag contained $3,000 in cash as well as personal documents including her passport, keys, driver's license and a DHS badge, an agency spokesperson confirmed. 

"Her entire family was in town including her children and grandchildren – she was using the withdrawal to treat her family to dinner, activities, and Easter gifts," the spokesperson said.

She obviously has zero trust in US banks! 

Sounds like the 1930's !

Ms. Noem is still shagging Corey Lewandowski.

What a pair.

 

Lewandowski served as trump's campaign manager for a brief spell in 2016.

 

He's wedged himself into "de facto" Chief of "Staff" for Noem and DHS.

 

 

I think it's more likely a foreign security service pinched her bag to get her phone.

I'm for whatever theory of the case is the most conspiratorial.

When you travel in those circles, $3K is pocket change. 

 

I don't usually agree with bamnutsak, but I'd be more worried about her phone and her passport.  That's where the real money would be.

I doubt the story is being reported properly at all.

My guess it was her "go bag". She's probably replaced it already. When the s**t really hits the fan and the whole clown troupe that is the Trump 2.0 administration disintegrates just watch her running for the hills desperately clutching her bag.

 

She probably has a couple of dogs with her so she has fresh meat without the need to hunt for it.

Ouch!love it!

At least per CNN:

"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."

No mention of phone but maybe the thief was hoping.

... but he DID get some blank checks -- meaning 'paper' checks if you can remember.
