RETIREE ALERT!!!!
IMPORTANT - IF YOU KNOW A RETIREE, REACH OUT TO THEM.
Phone, social media, e-mail.
Of course, this breaks on a Friday night/Saturday morning:
Phone, social media, e-mail.
Of course, this breaks on a Friday night/Saturday morning:
- Burglary to storage unit at a "facility [that] holds the paper work for police pension". Lock was cut to unit, unsure what exactly the unit might contain and/or to what extent things may have been compromised.
Facility is the "Store Your Things - Self Storage" at 2325 N. Clark Street in Lincoln Park.
Reference RD# JA-338630 - Event# 1718812075
....the unit contains a sizable amount of retiree pension files/information and that one or two of the storage containers had been manipulated/rifled through but they were unable to tell if anything was missing
Why this would be stored at a self-storage facility rather than someplace a wee bit more secure is a real puzzler, except that it's Chicago and everything is done half-assed.

There had to be a better way to lose files since Dean Andrews botched the Koschman case. The city needed as new way to "Lose" files, and explain it away.
Since PO's always take a few days for leaving their weapon in a locked car, we fully expect the city will give "just due" to the city employee that came up with this solution.
And...BTW was the city fully paid up in rent of the storage unit?
SCC, did you hear about the Lansing cop who is being fed to the wolves for "pinning" an African American boy down on his lawn, Well apparently the media left out a small fact. The incident stated when a group of black teens beat a white teen on the officers lawn. Little fact the media first left out. Now Tom Dart is going to lead the investigation on the cop

I have to either get out of this shit hole or stop reading this. Both is probably best.
You can't make this shit up.
CPD Retirement papers are held in a self storage unit?? wow Chicago never ceases to amaze me. There is an entire industry of off site SECURE storage for these papers.
So... be aware of financial targeting and some assholes physically attacking you also? Being aware already...I will be more aware. What a stupid, careless place to store that info!
Is there a way to find out who the asshole is that authorized this?
Interestingly enough, if you go to the Google Street View of that address and click on the front door, Google Maps takes you right inside the building. It's strange that a "secure facility" would allow someone to post images from inside its building, it makes casing the place sooo easy. I noticed a couple things clicking around inside. The views are from the second floor, one of the windows is not secure, with an extension cord going outside. What floor was the storage unit on? It looks like you can only click from that window to the elevator...hmmm. Also, there's a sign by the elevator that says "All Activities Monitored by Video Camera". You would think the break-in would be recored on disk somewhere, making it easy to see whodunnit.
It seems like the city and now the pension fund treats retired officers like shit.We should be told by pension fund who was responsible for the storage locker
Deja Vu all over again
Google: The 1973 Fire, National Personnel
Records Center | National Archives
(related stories will appear below)
This 1973 fire destroyed millions of service records
for The Department of Veterans Affairs ("V.A. Hospital").
In other words, veterans had to "prove" they served in the
Armed Forces to receive V.A. medical care and benefits.
DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!
Find every pay stub, W-2 forms, tax returns, ect. relating to
start date, incidents, promotions, retirement date that you can
lay your hands on. Write out a list of where you were stationed,
who you served with, supervisors, superiors, ect.
This could be a random hit, but better to be safe.
Ask for a copy of your service records on MONDAY.
With all the Budget Breakdowns, Bond Downgrades, ect.,
it would be all too convenient for them to say "We can't find
your records." That's exactly what the Veterans were told.
Just when you think you have seen it all. Unreal
old retired guy
Considering what Rahm thinks of us it's apropo.
I'm confident that (if it's just paper work that's stored) the struggling CPS alumnus burglar was unable to unravel or even read the complex scrolls. Surely, newer docs are in the cloud.
But who knows just how "anonymous" the storage locker ownership is.
If someone's cousin working there tells another cousin that names and numbers exist in boxes of paper work belonging to PABF, that info is easily sold to foreigners for fraudulent purposes.
If only the PABF lockers were the only ones entered, then I'd be looking at the employees.
• Nevertheless, everyone should put in a 90 day Credit Fraud Alert (free) at Experian/TransUnion/Equifax - just in case, or whenever applying or supplying anyone even legitamate sources with your SSN, DL or DOB. Do this 2-3x a year, it's free.
It's essentially what LifeLock does for around $120.
It's a well known fact that thieves are happy to risk arrest in order to break into units housing retiree pension information! Huh?
Offender Description: M-2-53/56 5'03 150 pounds,Brown/Gray Hair,Has 9 Fingers..Last Seen Wearing Pink Tutu With Purple Ballet Slippers..
Maybe it was a retired cop computer whiz who knew the whereabouts of this information, and is now restoring our city insurance?
Thank you for the heads-up on this. Please keep updates on this sight as you get more info!!!
Clint Krislov notified via eMail.
World class city being run by third world village idiots. The stupidity level of the democrats knows no bounds and they are constantly raising the bar when it comes to stupidity.
Smells like Watergate to me.
It's REEBIEgate

FEDS are investigating ghost pensioners
Does G. Gordon LIDDY have an alibi?
"A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with YOUR money."
It would really help if the pension board sent the retirees a email with warnings and advice? maybe possible credit protection informat5ion? The best the pension board can afford is a self storage facility? Does anyone give a f___ about us? This is totally unacceptable. A warning email is not hard to send.
Unbelievable!! They have secure climate controlled storage facilities for just this sort of documents. Whoever made the decision to stores such sensitive documents in a safe storage unit should be prosecuted.
You don't think the G done it they want to find out who should not get insurance or a pension bet on it
Just saw a letter appears to be sent to city employees
By the mayors office claiming that all city employee pension
Are now solvent !!!!!! Wtf ? Anybody else see this letter?
Should be stored at a records storage company.
This shouldn't surprise anyone that the city and CPD under the guidance of Rahm-half assed-Emmanuel would pull something like this.
Do you think records pertaining to illegal immigrants would be stored in such a shoddy manner??
Fiduciary mismanagement at its worst. Minimum result should be credit monitoring for all and force the city to cease storing our personal information in such places.
The city absolutely treats retirees like shit.
Hopefully the thief said, "Crap! Just a bunch of papers.," and went to the next storage unit.
Any idea of which connected clown owning this place?
Word on the street is that the ET who processed the scene found nine fingerprints plus an indiscernible smudge consistent with a "nub".
Why would any cop go to work in Dallas. Fuck that commissioner. Let it burn.
Dallas Co. Commissioner Votes Against Honoring Murdered Officers, Says They Brought It On Themselves
If illegal immigrants records were kept in such a careless and insecure fashion Gutierrez would be having a shit fit.
Who's looking out for our retirees??
Inside job, somebody covering their tracks.
No surprise...I expect Dumb things from the Associates of Chicago and Cook county. And there may be more to the story. Maybe the rent wasn't paid...
Nothing was taken. Thief only found papers and moved on to two other units.
CPD Retirement papers are held in a self storage unit?? wow Chicago never ceases to amaze me. There is an entire industry of off site SECURE storage for these papers.
STORAGE WARS. Any buyers?

Yes great quote, but here in Illinois, everyone ate and ate well. Thompson, Edgar, Ryan all had a chance to right the ship but failed to do so. Dawn Clark Netsch sounded the alarm back in 1994 but no one listened. Stop blaming liberals After all, I am sure you voted for Daley over and over again.
I think that starting Monday the retirees should bombard the pension board with calls, bother the fuck out of them and our board members until we find out what really happened. They have no controls. They are are a bunch of pompous asses.
REEBIE-GATE!
+1.
I love it
Motive?
These files should have been scanned into digital images and held on a secure server. Authorized personnel would be able to access the record in seconds from their desktop. Nothing ever lost or misfiled or illegally altered. It's how real "big boy" organizations operate. Of course Chicago government is like it's run by a bunch of toddlers.
Who is surprised at this level of disrespect? Not I, that's for sure. 9.5 or as I refer to him,💩, has made his feelings about the CPD well known even before he won his initial election. If he had his way, we would all be on Social Security and the pension would evaporate.

Jokes on the thief when he realizes the pensions are dry
Iron Mountain is the gold standard in off-site storage
of important documents since 1951.
There are also competitors, but "Self Storage" is
definitely delerection of duty, betraying the years of
service documents generated by dedicated public
servants. You get what you pay for.
Iron Mountain stores physical documents and makes
back-up copies on microfilm, microfiche, and now
computer files/ cloud storage.
Either someone is trying to get info to stop the corruption, or the cover ups are starting because a poop storm is starting.
I hope the city gets cleaned of all the corruption
The guy in charge wanted to have the records stored there so he could be close to a Starbucks. That nasty coffee creates such a huge dependency that their junkies would do anything to get their brain cell destroying fix.
The pension board send a warning to retirees? Are you nuts? That would mean Ken Hauser would have to do some work. I'm sure just reading that sentence sends shivers through his spine.
Hmmm! Maybe that's why I keep getting sale flyers from Harold's fried chicken - In Flawida?
Why here?
Was Lt Walsh's basement full?
Nobody gets discipline from the city...employees are pension employees not city employees...pension is not a city entity
Why this would be stored at a self-storage facility rather than someplace a wee bit more secure is a real puzzler, except that it's Chicago and everything is done half-assed.
Well, find out who owns the storage facility. Maybe they have a "family" member on the City Counsel.
Find every pay stub, W-2 forms, tax returns, ect. relating to
start date, incidents, promotions, retirement date that you can
lay your hands on. Write out a list of where you were stationed,
who you served with, supervisors, superiors, ect.
I have a shit load of Honorable Mentions. Think that would help?
/sarcasm
Nothing surprises me about the antics at the pension board.I would like to see the operating costs for that office. I bet it is out of control. These people that work there are the most ignorant on the phone since calling a phone center. These folks work for the retirees, putting these records in an unprotected ted space is bullshit.

Naw a Liberal is like the rich guy in the family that sends money to the poor in Tibet but never gives a dime to anyone in the family.
Who is renting that storage unit?

That's absolutely correct. Making the transition from paper files to digital files can be tricky (I've done it). Current matters are a little trickier because you might want to have some paper versions in addition to the digital version. But going 100% digital for closed/archived files is a complete no-brainer. Scan 'em. Make backup copies. Shred the originals to save space and for security purposes. You can put thousands of boxes of files on a small portable hard disk and/or in the cloud. They're always there when you need them. Nothing ever gets lost, mis-placed, or mis-filed. Like I said, a complete no-brainer for closed/archived files.
Anyone who would store physical files in a storage locker is completely clueless and/or just look to throw revenue to his uncle. Typical Chicago bullshit.
Call the next case. Not a cop.
These Rotten Mother Fuckers, Emanuel,is such a jagoff.
Relax everyone it was just Hauser looking for and old hairpiece he misplaced.
Time for a class action suit regarding the
Lack of control or proper security of active retirees private information.
When someone compromised FederalEmployee personal information they were given free access to a credit monitoring service.
Woulda NEVER happened on Chaser's watch.
The Dry Storage Corp. earns millions safely storing paper files, computer records for industry and government agencies. Apparently someone on the pension board has a cousin named Clem Dufus who owns a chunk of that there storage place.
Give it a couple of years ..... One N will find the files in his basement.

Good luck with that. Will never happen
If they are actually the really old, unscannable files they claim to be, the Mormans have a research center that can copy all kinds of old
records. They know how to handle and store documents. They use the info for their family research.
How about the Chicago Police History people? Used to have a retired Captain from the old 012 district. They could store the documents better than the way they are now! Could have been your grandfather or great grandfather's records sitting around rotting. They are a part of the history of the former great department we used to know.
