The FBI and police agencies are on the lookout tonight for a police vehicle stolen in Northwest Washington Friday morning. But that's not all that was taken.
Cindy Pena's Report
Inaugural preparations are in the final stages. Decorations along Pennsylvania Ave. are flying high, while down low man hole covers are searched and sealed.
At the capitol, visitors can still walk up First St. to see the West side of the building but for now, there's no getting closer.
Many people say with security so tight, things seem a lot safer
" It's a lot more secure than usual, work on 13th street, no drive zone, thought it was a little much, but there's more security, a lot safer." says Ellen Wray.
With days to go before the world watches American history in the making, police are on guard.
But now there's an additional concern. The FBI is reporting that one of their vehicles was stolen in Northwest Washington on Friday. Inside that car was government issued protective gear like a bullet proof vest. But even more disturbing to some is that a submachine gun is now missing.
"The stolen weapon is an MP5, which is a 9 millimeter submachine gun. The MP5 is specially designed for American law enforcement" says counterterrorism expert Larry Johnson.
According to Johnson "It's a submachine gun, multiple bullets, law enforcement use, cannot walk into local gun store and purchase one of these".
The FBI says the car, used by an agent from the Washington field office, was stolen from S and 10th streets Northwest, sometime Friday morning.
Because the weapon is now reported missing, police are being urged to approach the vehicle with extreme caution.
Official say the incident is embarrassing, but not a security threat.
A Maryland state police officer put the street value of this weapon at $50,000.
The stolen FBI vehicle is a 1998 4-door black, Ford Crow Victoria, with Virginia tags:
X-Y-Y-7-0-0-5 . If you have information about this stolen car, please contact police.

Does this Maryland state police officer know what he is talking about?
I don't think so.

didnt even read that part.. [:0][:D][:D][:D]
if he thinks an MP5 is worth that much, maybe it would be worth it for me to get the tax stamp and buy a couple and sell them to him for a hefty discount, at only $35,000 a piece.. [:p]

Unless you are a hard criminal with nothing to lose, or have plenty of land, it has not much collector appeal.
Just where would you go to get some range time in with it?
On an unrelated note, while at an area gun shop, two guys walked in with ammo and full mags.
Wanted to use the range, rent guns, but professed to have been out shooting only once before. Guess they couldn't figger it out on thast last drive-by. Safety OFF, mag FULLY INSERTED. Woops, gotta RACK the slide.

Gee wow....50,000 my *, I am sure with a little searching one can come up with a mini gun for less....(or $100,000 for a fully transferable one)
-.-.-.we are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world.-.-.-
Now, regardless of value estimation, this is hilarious. DC has the "best" gun ban in the country, and the best law enforcement, too. Obviously, nobody actually has this gun, because it'd be illegal and the cops stop that.
No security threat? Ha. You're in a tiny square of land with no guns. Now, somebody has a burp gun and FI vehicle to perpetrate crimes with. Sounds perfectly secure to me!

Can't just get a MP5 anywhere......
There are at least a dozen within 5 blocks from where I work all for sale.
Hell, I dont even have to leave my living room to buy one, just buy it off Gunbroker!!
$50,000 a pop!
How many they want for that kind of $ I will gold plate them!
Even better I can get postie MP7's for $1,500 each, with a couple of phone calls.
Only in a city with total gun control could this happen!

One class2 SOT & 2 class 3 dealers within 5 blocks.
One of the C3 dealers has a basement that is about 2,500sqft

All of this is below his gunstore that is 3 times as large.
He is a DOD/LEO master distribtor/warehouser for HK, Glock, Knight Armament, Dillon Military, Bushmaster Military to mention a few.
