Bizarre, a top pentagon official harasses a nanny on his Capitol Hill block.

[Anonymous]

The nanny has VA tags. I know.

The weirdest thing about this is that she continues to work for the family and the crazy neighbor is still RIGHT THERE. Is he supposed to only walk to the right when leaving his house? The poor lady must be so stressed.

And my DH would be so gone if he pulled this. . .

The story has now been picked up by Fox, the examiner, the NY Daily News, NBC and other. I'd say his career is looking shorter and shorter.

What I found more disturbing is that the guy doesn't even live on the same street facing block as the family. They share an alley, but he appears to be on another street on the other side of their city block. So basically he was stalking all the other adjoining streets to find abusers of the VPP? Utterly bizarre.

I'd "get it" if the nanny was parking in "his" spot everyday. But she didn't even park on his street. How weird.

Honestly, it sounds racially motivated.

That was my first thought as well- why is this bugging him so much?

My second thought was - why is he home all the time during the day?

Yes, that was my second thought, as well. How the hell is someone so high level telecommuting so much?!? Is he actually working?
If anything, I think mismanagement/fraud of reported working hours is what will get him sacked.

I wonder if he hasn't been doing this to other cars in similar situations. Perhaps maybe someone else did "take his spot" with a visitors pass and how he's out to seek justice for all?

There is not any indicia that this is racially motivated. Do you know if the nanny is a Latina or other minotity? Please stop.

Wouldn't he be entitled to vacation or personal days? And couldn't some of these events have taken place on a weekend?

She has a prayer care in Spanish on her dashboard. 99.5% certain she is a Latina. But I'm open to making a friendly wager.

If this guy is using his PTO to hunt down visitor parkers, he's more off his rocker than we thought!

You think this nanny worked weekends?

All the incidents happened on weekdays in the month of April during the daytime. Highly unlikely he was using PTO over several weeks.
This idiot better have every hour tracked and accounted for work-wise. They will nail him for telecommuting fraud, I guarantee it.

What's the penalty for regular folks who steal your license plates?

Silly phrasing of a question. Second degree theft (<$1000) is s misdemeanor -- think shoplifting -- and is punishable with a fine of not more than $1000 and jail time of not more than 180 days. A first-time offender isn't generally going to see time in jail unless arrested in the act and held for arraignment before being released without bond. Diversion, as it is known, is pretty common.

Thank you for taking the time to explain this to the conspiracy crazies.

I commented earlier about this and I wasn't implying there was a conspiracy-just that this was a case where the malevolence didn't match with the legally applicable penalty. I think this guy's crimes are more disturbing than a teenager taking some eye shadows from the drugstore and its jarring to think of them being equivalent legally-no crazy conspiracy theory involved.

Agree. The borderline stalking and harassment of the nanny that accompanied the theft makes this a bigger deal than someone stealing license plates off of cars for kicks. Him going back to the house the day of his arraignment makes it clear he didn't intend to stop.

With his security clearance could he also be stalking the nanny at her home, would he have access to her personal info? I hope the police watched him and the nanny to make sure she is safe.

Let's not go overboard. He went off the rails in this one instance but is a long-time neighborhood resident with a wife and young children. He never followed, stalked or threatened anyone, even if his actions were bizarre and inexcusable. Parking around the corner from your house on the Hill is nothing out of the ordinary, but then again I might have looked for a different spot on that particular day.

"This one instance" applies only if you mean one "months long campaign involving multiple episodes of theft." The fact that he has a wife and children is quite sad for them, but makes him more of a creep, not less.

You have NO idea if this man's wife wasn't gossiping or complaining about the nanny's car or the parking situation to him. We do not know if his wife knew what he was up to or not.

Spouses tend to discuss things.

And until the news divulges the nanny had VA tags it really does not matter that you "know". She still had a parking permit to be there and was not staying over night. Citizens on patrol do not trump the rules if they are being followed. Not sure why people cannot accept this.

Did you read the WAPO article? He is retired.

In that role, his LinkedIn page says, the retired Army officer “personally advises the Secretary of Defense and senior leadership on the public impact of proposed policies, programs, operations, and activities of the Department.”
