Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., was headed for a posh dinner party Thursday in San Francisco when thieves swiped his baggage from his car in a parking garage, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Schiff was left donned in shirt sleeves and a hiking vest at the dinner — while everyone else wore suits — as he rose to thank lawyer Joe Cotchett for his support in Schiff’s bid to replace the late Dianne Feinstein in the U.S. Senate, the newspaper reported.
“Yes, they took my bags,” Schiff later told the Chronicle. “But I’m here to thank Joe.”
Cotchett was in awe.
“Adam really showed himself tonight,” Cotchett said. “He’ll be a great senator — he’s going to change the Senate tremendously.”
Car burglaries in San Francisco been a scourge in recent years, with one 30-day period last year showing there were 1,670, the New York Post reported.
