I mean unless her phone was in it… although who just walks around DC with $3k lmao
You know who carries large amounts of cash?
People who get paid in cash.
I had the same thought.
If a black guy was pulled over with that much cash, the cops would civil forfeiture it because it is obviously proceeds from drug dealing.
I trust they are now investigating her ties to the drug trade?
Have you seen her Meth campaign in South Dakota? Slogan is ‘Meth, we’re on it!’ https://youtu.be/7LVcI-DQdYA
Meth campaign in South Dakota
Is that where it was so bad they had Gators on it? Or was that Kentucky? (Suddenly I have no idea where your provinces are)
No gators in KY; gotta go farther south.
Police were able to recover the bag that only contained $500
Was this a targeted theft, or merely a crime of opportunity?
This article is shit. Where was she when the bag was stolen? Was it not tied to her?
Why did the Homeland Security Secretary have $3,000 in cash in her purse?
To pay rent? Its not much…
Homeland Security Secretary pays rent in cash? And it’s only $3,000? Shenanigans.
Drug using dog killer obviously can’t be trusted, she was clearly on the way to buy more drugs. Lost more state secrets than Donald’s toilet library
Ok but actually though, who the fuck has $3000 in CASH just for going out to eat???
People with under the table (off the books) laborers to pay.
She probably was going to buy or sell something. How much is a Tesla?
Department of Handbag Security Chief Fails to Secure Handbag.
Who goes out with $3k cash? Even if you are so wealthy that the quantity is like $20 for normal people, that’s enough to make you a target if someone discovers you have it.
Idk, one time I had $20k in cash. It happens.
Typically when you’re moving money, such as buying or selling something.
I bet you didn’t casually leave it in your unattended bag. I paid $5k cash for a car once and planned that payment out carefully to minimize the time I had the money in hand.
I once did some consulting for the IAEA in Vienna. They paid you in CASH at that time. As an American I felt really really uncomfortable walking around Vienna with 3-4k in my pocket. Austrians thought nothing of doing so.
Compare the crime rates in both countries and you’ll find out why the difference in attitudes.
No, its tied to my belt and inside my pants right next to my dick.
The fact that she has $3k isnt surprising. What’s surprising is how they stole it from her without having to mug her with a weapon.
Damn that’s a lot of cash. I like to carry some cash for emergencies, but shit, $3000??
I always have $9k on me when traveling. $3k isnt much…
Everyone here focused on the cash for some reason.
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, the law enforcement source said.
The only saving grace is they can lock out that one badge. Hopefully she reported it quickly.
Who the hell still carries around paper checks? I think I’ve written a total of 3 checks in the past 4-5 years, all for home service like plumbers.
For me, I hand write checks weekly. That 3 percent credit card fee can add up quickly. Invoice me, and get the total payed at the end of the month. Also handy for person to person transactions, where cash is impractical.
That’s why I pay my rent with check, hand delivered to their office. That 3% is a significant chunk of money.
Do standing orders and Direct Debit not exist in the good ol’ USA?
Landlords/management companies sometimes will try to make you go through a payment portal with a fee if you try to do direct debit.
So, she does coke? Why else do you need 3k in cash?
That’s not even enough to buy a car…
