This article is shit. Where was she when the bag was stolen? Was it not tied to her?
If a black guy was pulled over with that much cash, the cops would civil forfeiture it because it is obviously proceeds from drug dealing.
I trust they are now investigating her ties to the drug trade?
Human trafficking is probably the more promising direction.
Don't forget to include animal executions...
Silly goose, she's buying drugs.
Have you seen her Meth campaign in South Dakota? Slogan is ‘Meth, we’re on it!’ https://youtu.be/7LVcI-DQdYA

Everyone here focused on the cash for some reason.
The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash, the law enforcement source said.
The only saving grace is they can lock out that one badge. Hopefully she reported it quickly.
Who the hell still carries around paper checks? I think I've written a total of 3 checks in the past 4-5 years, all for home service like plumbers.
I'm european, born in the 90's. I've never in my life seen a check in person... By the 00's everyone either had a credit card or just used cash.

Who the hell still carries around paper checks?
Old people who wish to punish everyone else in line at the grocery store.

Why? Any rando wandering in can't be worse than the people who are already there.

The person who was responsible for locking out badges was let go last month.

Implying it wasn't staged
How could we forget about the makeup bag?
Joke aside, the access badge can be revoked immediately (unless Elon somehow fucked that up too). Locks can be changed (and she can probably have that done quickly by a security detail as well as a sweep of the apartment). Blank checks can be canceled at the bank (basically a bulk stop payment on the range of check numbers).
Passport may be a bigger concern, but for someone in a cabinet-level position, anyone attempting to use it would probably be questioned pretty thoroughly.

So qualified, she couldn’t even secure her own purse.
It's about the info IN the bag, not the money. Crewde tials, phone, maybe ID. This was a targeted hit 100% because the world's intelligence agencies now know how fucking stupid these people are.
Like, dumb enough to not notice a tail, then get your bag stolen from a restaurant with all kinds of goodies in it dumb.
But obviously it was stolen by a liberal, not a foreign agent, so you’re obviously wrong and stupid.

Her phone wasn't in the bag from any reporting I've seen. But she could easily be lying about that.
If it was a targeted intelligence action, all they got was her (now cancelled) DHS access badge. Russia already has front door access to the white house and probably everything doge has touched. China can just ask Russia if musk hasn't filled them in yet.
I think it's much more likely that she's just a clueless rich moron who got her bag stolen.

How the fuck is she going out in public and not being shot in the face? Honest question.

Drug using dog killer obviously can't be trusted, she was clearly on the way to buy more drugs. Lost more state secrets than Donald's toilet library

Damn that’s a lot of cash. I like to carry some cash for emergencies, but shit, $3000??
I always have $9k on me when traveling. $3k isnt much..
That's the kind of cash that would get civil forfeiture'd for regular people.
That's when rich people just casually have 3000 bucks in their purse. Equivalent of you having 30 bucks in yours...

It's a lot compared to what she's worth but not much next to her total wealth. Still better than nothing if her Kremlin file gets leaked and she has to flee the country.

Department of Handbag Security Chief Fails to Secure Handbag.
Do normal people routinely carry around $3,000 in cash? (Granted, that could just be the original Picasso that I swear was in the trunk of my Geo Metro when it was stolen).
That's an awful lot of cash to have. What do you need that for? Better "arrest" that money and take it down to the station.
(Not condoning civil asset forfeiture but def making fun of it).

Hunter's Laptop people speaking up in 3...2....1.... wait where are they???
So the completely unqualified, dog-killing, trump-butt-kissing, hateful, ignorant, worthless, lying, and corrupt piece of filth - who happens to be the secretary of homeland security got her bag stolen?
I think this reaction sums it up best:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why did the Homeland Security Secretary have $3,000 in cash in her purse?

That is 100% some “no paper trail” money.
Least shady thing you’re going to do with that money is to pay some undocumented contractors for work on your garden / home.
So, she does coke? Why else do you need 3k in cash?
...because you don't write checks for bribes.
That's not even enough to buy a car..
Bribe gone bad, reported stolen.
