Talk about the ultimate joy ride. A local NBC affiliate in Richmond, Virginia reports that thieves stole a truck carrying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment that travels with President Obama, including his Teleprompters.
Officials recovered the truck on Monday. Here's the NBC 12 breakdown of the caper:When you see President Obama speak, there is a pretty typical setup including the presidential seal on a podium, the see-thru Teleprompter and a portable sound system.
Thieves saw the truck carrying that equipment and couldn't resist the target.
We're told the truck was parked at the Virginia Center Commons Courtyard Marriott in advance on Wednesday's presidential visit to Chesterfield.
Sources said inside that vehicle was about $200,000 worth of sound equipment, several podiums and presidential seals, behind which only the President himself can stand.
They told NBC12 around 12:30 Monday afternoon that truck was recovered in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn Express near the airport and hotel staff confirm police activity.

some good comments...
They took the words right out of his mouth.
Somewhere in America, a burglar is making a passionate speech against Wall Street.
He will definatly have alot to say about this crime............ as soon as they find the teleprompters that is .....
FOR SALE: 1 worn-out teleprompter. needs to be re-programmed-- keeps saying "its Bush's fault"
If you think about it, the government is broke. Maybe the equipment got repossessed
I bet Investors are happy....everytime Obama gives a speech....stocks fall!
Dit a dit a dit a dit a "Thats all Folks".
"Let me be perfectly clear..........ummm....ummm."
"Like I was saying... ah... like I was saying... ah... like I was saying... ah... to recap what I just was saying .. let me just say that ...like I was saying..
