Washington (CNN) – A U-Haul truck loaded with equipment for a Monday event featuring Vice President Joe Biden was stolen in Detroit Sunday, a spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service said.
"A U-Haul that we were utilizing was stolen at the Westin Hotel overnight," Ed Donovan told CNN.
Donovan would not specify what equipment was in the U-Haul at the time it was stolen, and added that the theft shouldn't affect the vice president's plans on Monday.
Biden is scheduled to speak at a Labor Day rally in downtown Detroit Monday and march in a parade organized by the Michigan AFL-CIO. Last year President Barack Obama spoke at the Motor City's Labor Day celebration.
CNN's Jonathan Helman contributed to this report.

Republicans, stop at nothing when there's money or power at stake.
His and Obama's work... They don't know what else to do.
Just look at this face and you can tell he is beyond stupid !!! It is no wonder that his first wife dumped him !!! Makes you wonder about the present one if one actually exists. He may have just made her up like Obama with the characters in his book.
biting the hand that feeds you.
The Uhaul was believed to be housing "Obama's Stash".
Dang, the same thing happened here in Richmond last year when President Obama visited – his PA equipment got stolen too but I think it was recovered!!! So don't blame it on Detroit only, it happened in CAN'Tor country too.
Obama/Biden 2012 – The Only Trusted Way Forward – And YES, We Know You Built That – We ALL Did!!
What did the u-haul contain? His brain of his gaffe machine.....?
to bad...probably obama voters....
WAIT,was the VP driving the truck?
OR
Was it a community group in Detroit trying to do something positive?
It wasn't stolen, it was just redistributed to those who needed it more than Joe. Arock?
Huh! You would think all the secret services and security where VP has to be. Must have happened during donut break.
Joe will do just fine without the equipment. He makes more sense than paulie. Forward.2012
Stolen and broken into U-Hauls parked at Hotels and Motels are happening more and more. The motels and hotels are going to have to start providing security to keep this from happening.
I though they were all supposed to love the Lefties in Detroit. I guess even they've caught on that Obama &co are total losers.
In completely unrelated news, Karl Rove was seen moonwalking on top of a U-Haul and blowing kisses to the crowd earlier today.
no doubt a member of a key lib constituency just "redistributing some wealth"
Detroit? How could that happen? This is Liberalism's Soviet Model City.
You did not rent that U-Haul........!
... and happening under the gaze of the poster child for failed progressive policies?..... Priceless.
This is the city that Obama saved. Remember!?!
So, why is the Secret Service carrying Biden campaign equipment in a U-Haul trailor, and why is the Secret Service involved with it – since it's not their job, and why is it a secret what was in the truck?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Why not? The 0bama regime handle's America's secrets with about as much security.
I think the intention was to have Biden stolen and hidden until after the election
I bet when they catch the perps they will find out they are Obama "supporters!!!"
Wow. The Secret Service lost a VAN with stuff for the Vice President of the United States???? Really? Insane! Stolen no doubt by drunk Norwegian tourists again... The inner city is now worse than Bagdad on bad day.
Crazy Uncle Joe probably got drunk and took it for a joy ride. Good Old Joe, a grin with a body behind it.
remember, Monday 9/3 is official National empty chair day. Put your favorite presidential chair on your lawn!
