Stolen Items May Have Valuable Information For Opponents Of GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney

SAN DIEGO -- 10News has uncovered a crime against members of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign which may have compromised sensitive information related to Romney's run for the White House. Last Friday, two campaign aides left their rented SUV in the Horton Plaza parking garage while they got dinner. When they returned, someone had grabbed all their belongings, including two iPads, two handheld radios and two laptops with detailed information about Romney's presidential campaign.

"This could just be a coincidence," said political analyst Carl Luna. "Then again, given this campaign season and how negative it's been, dirty tricks are not alien to American politics."

Police said there was no sign of forced entry on the SUV and they are still not sure if the burglary was random or if Romney's aides were targeted. Luna said the laptops and iPads could be a treasure trove of valuable insider information for Romney's opponents.
