... just days before President Obama's Utah visit


The theft happened just a week before Obama (pictured during his visit) made a scheduled trip to Utah earlier this month


An FBI agent's sniper rifle (similar to the one pictured) was ripped out of his car's window and stolen from a Salt Lake City hotel parking lot


* Rifle was stolen overnight while agent's car was parked at a Salt Lake City hotel across the street from the state's FBI office

* Gun was 'secured properly' in a case and truck safe with padlocks and chains

* Police believe thief tied a rope around the case and used another car to break the handle off by ripping the case through the car's window

* Agent's stolen backpack and gear bags were recovered at a nearby hotel, but the gun has not been found



The gun was inside a hard rifle case and was 'secured properly' to a truck safe with padlocks and chains while the car was parked at the Marriott Springhill Suites, according to police.

Police believe the thief stole the rifle by breaking the rear right passenger-side window, tying a rope around the rifle case's handle or a cable lock, and using the momentum from another vehicle to then break the case's handle free from the lock.

Just one damn incompetence after another.

1. Too bad they cannot put a Lo Jack type thingy in guns.

If we can find the cordless phone from its beep.....
why not a gps tracker for stolen guns?
