Gore Valuables Stolen

Deciding not to have Secret Service protection was disadvantageous for Al and Tipper Gore. While vacationing in Italy, their "luxurious villa in Castellina" was robbed of $35,000 worth of valuables. Apparently, room security is not considered a desirable luxury in Castellina. (via Country Store)

[Update] There's a rumor that law enforcement authorities have decided it's probably not necessary to check Sandy Berger's pants and socks for the stolen valuables.
