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.

This Obama/Biden campaign just gets funnier and funnier and more hopeless every day! HAHAhahahahahaaa!!! I hope they didn't take Joe's Brain!
I bet it was those Tea Party people. Oh wait it was in Detroit. Make that the Purple-Drank Party. Not saying,...Just saying. Bet they don't vote Republican last election.
Labor Day in Detroit?
Ha!
More like Welfare Day.

LOL! Detroit is a model democrat city.
So what else is new in Detroit. That's just an everyday occurrence for the neighborhood there.
This is what happens to a city after years of Republican control!
I want to give the people who stole the U-hall money. The classic of all classics if they have a video of the theft please post it on you tube with the song "Happy days are here again".
To bad Biden wasn't inside the U-haul.
Someone was just spreading the wealth around.
The U-Haul trailer had his backup hair plugs
Welcome to Obamaville, Michigan
Looks like they are biting the hand that feeds them in Detroit!
it was empty anyway, just like joe
1. George Bush did it
2. This is racist
About time somebody stole from him. He's stolen enough from the American people.
Maybe it wasn't stolen, maybe Joe just can't remember where he parked the darn thing.
It's OK, Biden has just experienced the redistribution of his stuff. It's what he wants for everybody.
Oh no! Say it ain't so Joe! Those Howdy Dooty puppets are priceless...
No problem. They have a good selection of clown suits and wigs in Detroit. Plugs Biden is the leader of the Gaff Parade in DC and won't miss a chance to be a real clown for a change.
Who ever took it, did detroit a favor. Anything to shut him up is a blessing. Somebody need to safe biden from himself.
I know that Detroit Democrats didn't steal the truck because they specialize in Escalades. Ask Jesse Jackson. Somebody stole his from the same parking lot.
The irony is so rich in this. jb and his gang have been robbing blind, and he gets his stuff ripped off in a city that is broke. As I said, so much irony...
Can't blame it on the Republicans as there are none in Detroit.
I'm not bringing it back! Is anyone interested in fertilizer for hair plugs?
