The Hillary Clinton schedule of events may be in the hands of criminals after thieves stole three laptops police believe contain the information. The theft happened in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia at around 8 p.m. on Friday night.
According to police, a group of four men parked an SUV to eat at a restaurant. Around an hour later, they returned to find the rear passenger window was busted and three backpacks were missing , according to CBS . They included MacBook Pro laptops and other items.
However, the seemingly random theft of three backpacks could have wider implications, as the computers apparently hold details about the Hillary Clinton schedule as the campaign enters its final days. The men who had their laptops stolen work for the Clinton campaign.
Philadelphia police are working with the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service (both of whom were notified as a matter of standard procedure) to investigate. The authorities were seeking surveillance footage of the crime to help them identify the criminals.
While the campaign events themselves are public knowledge, a detailed schedule might contain specific times and travel information, which may give cause for concern from a security standpoint.

In the run up to the general election on Tuesday, the Hillary Clinton schedule takes the Democratic nominee for president through Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, before winding up in New York City on election night.
On Saturday, Clinton campaigned in Florida, a key swing state in the election. She appeared in Pembroke Pines, while her running mate, Tim Kaine, was set to make appearances in Fort Myers and Sarasota.
Vice President Joe Biden was on the Hillary Clinton schedule of events as he was to speak in Bristol and West Mifflin in Pennsylvania. Clinton’s main primary opponent, Senator Bernie Sanders, was scheduled to appear on behalf of the campaign in Ames, Iowa and Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Clinton’s husband and daughter were also on the trail, with Bill Clinton speaking in Jacksonville and Gainsville, North Carolina. Chelsea Clinton, meanwhile, was to appear in Charlotte and Asheville.

After Beyonce and Jay-Z performed at an event for Clinton on Friday, Jon Bon Jovi was to follow with a performance in St. Petersburg, Florida, while Katy Perry and Stevie Wonder are scheduled for a Get Out The Vote Performance in Philadelphia.
Sunday’s Ohio stop on the Hillary Clinton schedule will see the candidate appear at a campaign event with NBA superstar LeBron James in Cleveland. The Cavaliers star’s endorsement of Hillary is seen as crucial in Ohio, where he is revered as a sports hero. Ohio is an important swing state in the presidential election, though a recent poll showed that her main opponent, Republican nominee Donald Trump, held the lead there, according to USA Today .
President Barack Obama is to speak on Clinton’s behalf in Kissimmee, Florida. Biden is on the Hillary Clinton schedule again for more events in Pennsylvania — Harrisburg and Scranton — as is Chelsea Clinton, while Sanders is in Phoenix and Las Vegas.

Bon Jovi is to perform again for the campaign in Charlotte, while Cher plans a fundraiser in Miami.
On the final day of the campaign on Monday, the Hillary Clinton schedule calls for the candidate and her husband and daughter, along with Barack and Michelle Obama, to appear in Philadelphia. Tim Kaine and his wife, Anne Holton, have events in Virginia, and the president is to make one more appearance for Clinton in Durham, New Hampshire.
On Election Night, Clinton and Kaine will be stationed at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan.
With the Democratic nominee apparently halting her slide in the polls and maintaining a lead over Trump, as the Inquisitr reported, the Hillary Clinton schedule might not be as packed for the candidate as it would otherwise. Yet Clinton is still hitting the trail to boost her chances of victory on Tuesday.
