Dodd Deja Vu: Campaign Office Burglarized

ABC News Donna Hunter Reports: Three laptop computers were stolen from the Cedar Rapids, Iowa campaign office of Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., on Sunday morning. 

The laptops contained campaign information, but nothing top secret.

Dodd spokeswoman Taylor West said that it looks like the office was not forcibly broken in to, but that the burglar or burglars were able to walk through a back door left open by a campaign staffer.

"Our staff stays pretty busy, and they’re in and out of there all the time. That person was probably not aware that they were the last one to leave," West said.

Back in August, Sen. Dodd’s Senate office in Hartford, Conn. was allegedly robbed by Gilbert Soto, described as a career criminal by Nancy Milroy of the Hartford Police.

Investigators claim surveillance cameras caught Soto red-handed as he exited Dodd’s office building with a television and computer. Soto was later picked up by police blocks from the campaign office.
