DNC may be trying to commit insurance fraud.

look at this police report:

[ElNono]

That's what the government probably pays for those items, tbh... I doubt they pay anything less than $3000 for a screwdriver...

[Wild Cobra]

No serious comment to an actual police report?

[ElNono]

that was serious

[leemajors]

It's good WC is on the case, he must have missed his calling tbh

[Wild Cobra]

that was serious
OK, I stand corrected.

It shouldn't surprise me, coming from you.

did the total even reach a million?

easier ways to get that kind of scratch than to risk fraud

[Wild Cobra]

Can you explain the police report? Why are they claiming a $6,993 loss for a $700 monitor, $2,194 for a $300 flat screen, etc?

What's surprising counselor?

sentimental value, tbh (ok THIS one is kidding).

That said, I don't know the reported values on the police report are binding towards the insurance.

It appears to me the insurance can easily demonstrate those items aren't worth that much.

I completely agree, any insurance claim, and the adjuster will laugh.

I don't think they tried to pull insurance fraud as much as I think they are attempting to get some "slush fund" cash from their supporter. They aren't lying when they say they reports $xxx,xxx.xx stolen.

They aren't and WC is as clueless to insurance underwriting as he is to electronics.

Hard to say what the value of hte installed software or data was.

If you pay a consultant $50,000 to compile a database, and have the results on one laptop, then that makes the laptop worth $50,000+cost of purchse on the books, before depreciation.

Hard to say.

Quite frankly it sounds like they bought a bunch of stuff for staffers, then asked for it back and didn't get it back. Also a strong possibility that they have it somewhere and just don't know where it is, e.g. packed up and stored somewhere like the Ark of the Covenant from Raiders. Some of it may have been outright stolen, and they are asking the police for help recovering stuff.

Hardly insurance fraud, especially since this isn't an insurance claim. Probably needed for an insurance claim however.

Given the scope it seems more like bad record-keeping, than anything else, especially since they didn't have serial numbers for most items that SHOULD have had serial numbers.

If I were the police I would first want to know how *they* knew what was missing.

Meh. Forwarded email fodder.

The majority of the items were reported as "lost".

I therefore question the bloggers honesty.
















or your reading ability....

[ElNono]

Well, the list includes a TV set for an inordinate amount of money. Doubt there's any $50k databases loaded in it.

[Big Empty]

Good. I hope its Statefarm that insures him and i hope he runs that business into the ground. *geico rulz

There is also a $2,700 "magic mouse", whatever that is.

(googles)

Ok, it is a computer mouse.

Retail: $50, tops.

Sounds like someone effed up something, somewhere.

Hopefully the police and/or insurance company will ask some rather important questions. As it is, the OP hasn't provided much to go on.

Lots of effing up, apparently. The values on the police report are correct, but the quantities were not.

A reportedly stolen 13-inch MacBook Pro laptop? $75,537. The price listed on the Apple website is $1,199. A lost iPhone? $30,503. A lost Blackberry? $54,250,” ABC News wrote, claiming the document revealed “41 missing electronics.”

“In fact 841 items were reported missing,” Sandler clarified to TheDC, sending along the list of the devices that he says was originally sent to police.

The police document indicates that law enforcement was notified about the missing items on May 10, 2013 — eight months after the convention was held — by the DNC’s deputy in-house counsel, Kenneth Hardy.

A comparison of the police report and the list provided to TheDC by Sandler reveals that instead of a single missing 13″ 2.4ghz MacBook Pro worth $75,537, for instance, the DNC actually lost 63 units of that model laptop — worth $75,537 in total." :greedy
