As an aside, the best way for someone to spy on a political campaign is not to steal the campaign's computers, but to plant spyware on them.... I wonder also if the BPD is now looking for these stolen computers and TV set on Craig's List. Richard ====================================== Break-in at Romney campaign headquarters in North End http://www.boston.com/news/globe/city_region/breaking_news/2007/09/breakin_a t_romn.html The presidential campaign headquarters of Mitt Romney were burglarized overnight in the North End, according to a campaign spokesman. There was "forced entry" into the three-story waterfront building at 585 Commercial St. and several computers and a television were stolen, said spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom. The break-in, which occurred late Sunday or early Monday, did not appear to be politically motivated, he said. "By all appearances this is a routine burglary," Fehrnstrom said. "There were a number of items that were left untouched -- files and the like." Fehrnstrom referred additional questions to Boston police. He declined to described how the burglar or burglars broke into the building. A law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the case said someone at Romney's campaign headquarters reported the crime in a 911 call at 9:40 a.m. and said that $20,000 worth of equipment was stolen. According to a preliminary police report, entry was made through a third-floor window and eight laptops and a 32-inch television were stolen. A Crime Scene Unit responded to process the scene, and detectives from District A-1 are conducting interviews. .
