Another Scandal

On 26 January, we posted the following:

• And since we're on the subject of Station security, anyone heard about missing equipment from the area of 3510 S. Michigan? Expensive equipment? Sensitive equipment?
  
  Equipment from the fifth floor offices of a certain investigative arm of the Department?
  
  We're just wondering if someone is trying to yank our chain or actually give us a heads up.

Friday, at the City Council hearing, Ike Carothers (of whom we have an awfully low opinion) surprised the hell out of J-Fed and came out of left field with this one. A number of our readers caught it and FOP gadfly Wayne Harej witnessed it first hand:

• [Comment #1] - I like IKE!
  
  I especially liked the grilling about the burglary at 3510 S Michigan. Apparently SCC was on the money again. 5th Fl burglary that resulted in at least one lap top and possibly one desk top computer taken from the Bureau of Professional Investigation.
  
  
• [Comment #2] - J-Fed was unaware of the facts of the burglary that occurred on his floor in mid December. Commander Climas didn't know what exactly was taken and what was on the computers that were taken.
  
  It sure sounds like the leadership of the CPD is lacking.
  
  
• [Comment #3 - Wayne Harej's account] - Have you ever seen that "deer in headlights" look of the "person of interest" you had in the interrogation room.. . .Well
  
  At the end of the "roasting" and the "roastee and team " were feeling a wave of relief Ike fired his best shot and inquired about the burglary of some computers from IAD,, at that moment I which I had better resolution on my cell phone camera because the expressions on the faces of Jody and the IAD guy (did they get rid of Tina)were "priceless" the Japanese were not in IKE's league when it comes to a sneak attack.
  
  Total panic and disbelief incident happened in dec 2008 and poor Jody had no clue. Remember this hearing was in the context of department security and IKE's point Jody's own building and the 5th floor are not even "secure" There was general dissing of the Secret Service looking at our security and the inference is maybe they should start on the 5th floor

We speculated on 26 January that someone was yanking our chain. We never expected an Aldercreature to verify and front out the Superintendent that a number of computers went missing from the IAD office this past December. We have heard it was multiple computers with god knows what type of data on it regarding a number of sensitive investigations. Supposedly there's video of the theft. So why no arrests? And why has it been kept a complete secret from J-Fed, who looked as though he was blindsided by the question?
