Romney home robbed, say police

[DS1]

Source: CNN

(CNN) — More than a dozen pieces of jewelry were stolen from former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s Deer Valley, Utah home last week, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.

Park City police told the paper that the thief was likely someone who had access to the house. There was no sign of forced entry.

The $5 million home is currently up for sale, along with another Romney residence in Massachusetts.

The former Massachusetts governor will address activists at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington Friday, as he aims for his third win in the annual gathering’s presidential preference straw poll.

of the Midwest in their unarmored RV, risking their lives to keep us all safe.

6. i doubt

the POLICE said it was "robbed"

you can't rob a house.

robbery is a crime against persons.

8. Don't worry, the Romney's "Jewelry Consultant" is doing an accounting, because they have so much...

...that they have no idea what is missing or how much. Rachel reported this last night.

Real Americans, those Romneys.

10. I'm betting insurance fraud

Reports are that they are having trouble selling the house and probably need the insurance money to make the mortgage.

13. Damn and he just got the jewels from his good friend Madoff.

Two houses for sell and missing jewels. I wonder.........

14. Don't they still have a dog to help protect them?

Or did the dog bail after its air-conditioned vacation trip?

I thought they had dogs. At least because if they did, we could then ask "Who let the dogs out?"

15. Insurance scam? So broke, Romney's selling 2 houses

I would check his recent visits to bank vaults.

[Betty]

16. I think he's selling the houses

so that when he runs again, they can't attack him for having lots of houses like they did with Mcnuts.
