A truck filled with President Obama's podiums and audio equipment was stolen in Henrico just days before his visit to Chesterfield.
We confirmed an investigation with the U.S. Defense Department. There are still a lot of questions. The biggest one being did the thieves intentionally target the President's truck or did they take advantage of a crime of opportunity and give a big "uh-oh" when they saw what was inside.
When you see President Obama speak, there is a pretty typical setup including the presidential seal on a podium, the see-thru Teleprompter and a portable sound system.
Thieves saw the truck carrying that equipment and couldn't resist the target.
We're told the truck was parked at the Virginia Center Commons Courtyard Marriott in advance on Wednesday's presidential visit to Chesterfield.
The thieves are reportedly holding TOTUS for ransom, but the American public is refusing to take their phone calls.

What are the TOTUS ransom demands?
I saw this remark on another site, but thought is was so good it needed repeating...
Wonder how the folks screaming for redistribution of other peoples wealth like THEIR wealth being redistributed?
