WESTMINSTER, Colo. -- Police are searching for an unmarked Boulder County sheriff's car containing an assault rifle, ammunition and a bullet-proof vest that was stolen outside a detective's Westminster apartment overnight.
"When he awoke this morning, he noticed the keys to his vehicle missing. When he went to the parking lot, the vehicle was also missing," said Westminster police investigator Cheri Spottke.
The 2005 black Ford Taurus, with a Colorado license plate number 030FYO, was discovered missing at about 6 a.m. Thursday from the 3800 block of West 68th Street, said Boulder County Sheriff's Cmdr. Rick Brough.
The vehicle is equipped with emergency lights and a siren and a police radio, he said. The emergency lights are partially concealed and not easily visible. There's a small antenna mounted on the center of the trunk lid.
The sedan contained an AR-15 assault rifle stored in a locked vault in the trunk along with three 30-round magazines and a concealable ballistic vest, Brough said.
Brough said deputies keep shotguns and rifles in the trunk vaults, secured with a combination lock or padlock. The sheriff’s office does not have a policy about removing the guns from cars when off-duty because officials feel the guns are secure in the vaults.
This is the first time the agency has had a car stolen, he noted.
People who wish to remain anonymous can call Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or go to NoCrimestoppers.com, where people can send anonymous email or text messages. Tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward.
It’s unclear whether the thief knew it was a police vehicle, said Brough, adding that he was wary of giving too many details about the storage of firearms in vehicles for fear that thieves could target other police cars.
Anyone seeing this vehicle is asked to call 911 immediately.

hi. first post here so be gentle...
i have been a follower of ats since a while now. cant really say i believe everything bur i cant distrust anything either.
so heres my 2pence input on that subject. if i understand very well, a lot of conferences, events, drill, etc etc are happening this week in denver, right? meaning theres going to be , say thousands of people coming to stay in the denver area for few days, right? so where are they going to stay? because when you make a quick online enquiry about hotel disponibilities, well, nobody is really fully booked. you would really expect those brass people to stay in 4-5 star hotels, right? then, they are all probably staying with relatives, or camping....

NEWS ADVISORY: Operation Mountain Guardian (continued)
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND
Operation Mountain Guardian is a terrorism-based full-scale exercise sponsored by the North Central All-Hazards Emergency Management Region, Denver Urban Area Security Initiative, and Front Range Metropolitan Medical Response System. The exercise is a Homeland Security Grant funded event made possible due to grant funding from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA Region VIII and the State of Colorado Governor’s Office of Homeland Security.
The North Central All-Hazards Emergency Management Region is one of nine emergency preparedness and response Regions within the State of Colorado. The North Central Region (NCR) is organized around ten counties: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin and Jefferson.
One purpose of the NCR is to improve Region-wide emergency preparedness, response and homeland security capabilities through coordinated planning, training and exercise efforts. This exercise is evidence of the growing public safety partnership between regional emergency response agencies.
Operation Mountain Guardian is part of a Regional Training and Exercise Plan established in 2009. Planning for Operation Mountain Guardian began in January 2010 and has included several building-block events designed to prepare responders to effectively participate in the full-scale exercise.
The overall Operation Mountain Guardian exercise objectives are:
1. Communications: Assess the ability to establish and maintain multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional communications in response to a terrorism incident.
2. Hazmat Response and Decontamination: Evaluate the capability to coordinate multiple hazmat response teams and assess their ability to perform initial response actions.
3. Public Safety & Security Response: Evaluate the ability to establish scene security and crime scene preservation, coordinate a multi-jurisdictional response, and manage intelligence information in order to mitigate the effects of the event.
4. Explosive Device Response Operations: Evaluate the capability to manage and coordinate explosive device response operations using regional bomb squad teams.
5. Onsite Incident

My best guess is the S is inches away from the fan blades. Timetable is either this friday the 23rd at market close, Sunday morning the 25th at foreign market open, or next week on the Friday the 29th at the closing bell. Hasta Lasagna, don't get any on ya.

I'm on the fence with this whole idea too, but I figured I should toss this into the mix:
So Obongo, congress, NASA and everyone else related to the government is going to descend on Denver from September 26th to the 28th? Let's check the availability of rooms at the local 5 and 4 star hotels:
St. Julien - vacant
Brown Palace - empty
Lowe's Denver - a morgue
Four Seasons - ghost town
Hotel Manaco Denver, Hotel Monaco Denver - why did I say it twice? I didn't.
I just tried to book 10 rooms and a banquet hall at the Hilton. No problem.
Warwick Denver was willing to give me a AAA discount to get me to stay there.
Every hotel is Denver is basically vacant from September 26th to September 28th. Not a single one is completely booked. Not only are they not booked, they're practically empty.
Feel free to check for yourself - but don't just look online - pick up the phone and call some of these places. If there's an event going on in town, it's news to them.
From this post, by this member, on this thread.
The stolen Ford, could it be part of an exercise?

Finally some media attention!
Noted that myself and at least one other person on this thread notified the media this afternoon, and within a few hours they finally reported this.
Not saying they were not planning too, or were not informed prior to this....I just found it interesting!

As mentioned multiple times in the thread, has anyone been able to find out what the First Lady's schedule is for next week?
It just makes me curious where she would be with the children if the SHTF. Not to say I agree or disagree with what will happen or start tomorrow, I am just wondering what others have asked. Maybe I missed it, but I think I have read all 34 pages and have not seen anyone respond.
