The son of Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., says items were stolen out of the government vehicle he was driving last Wednesday in downtown Detroit, FOX 2's Simon Shaykhet reports.

John Conyers III, 20, told police two Apple MacBooks, valued at $1,100 apiece, and more than $27,000 worth of concert tickets to the Fillmore were stolen out of a burgundy 2010 Cadillac Escalade registered to the 14th Congressional District.

The police report says the vehilce was parked at Brush Street and Congress around 11:30 p.m. on Nov. 24. When Conyers returned around 12:30 a.m., he noticed scratches on the side door and items scattered throughout the interior.

What is a congressman's car doing with $27,000 of concert tickets in it?

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
It would appear we the people are paying for the congressman's son's car. In the best case you have to wonder why we have to pay for a Cadillac while Americans are out of work.

Apparently his son is a concert promoter.

The real question is why he was driving a Gov't owned vehicle. Or as the police report probably says, vee-hicle.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

I thought the same thing when you bailed out GM.

HOLY CARP!!!
Those two comments are strangely intertwined, as Cadillac is GM... So are you saying we bought this car twice?
