Theory: Noem's purse was a baited hook -- needed $5k in value to utilize federal statues to prosecute

Just a theory. The event could be organic, but I notice DC authorities are protecting the thief's name.
It's a given the DC attorneys and judges will find a way to drop the charges or pardon the criminal. But the total value of the purse and Noem's status as a public official (she can pretty much claim she is on duty nearly 100% of the time, and at least her badge was in the purse) allows for Federal involvement.
The standard white hat operating procedure is to bait the cabal into gloating & publicizing something that eventually backfires on them, so we'll see how this turns out.
I like your theory, but I don't think this was a sting. It was a crime of opportunity. The thief - Mario Bustamante-Leiva, 49, of Santiago Chile, is part of an international theft ring.

One of the crimes you outlined has nothing to do with this. The "public money" crime is for stealing government money or property. This was her personal money. She did have her government ID but the value wouldn't reach the amount required for this statute.
The "Transporting" crime is spot on. This guy didn't leave DC (he was actually caught in DC), but we don't know where he came from (here) to do the crime. He is an illegal from Chile. The reason the Transporting crime 100% fits is because a 2nd person in this theft ring was arrested in Miami for this crime. The thief is actually wanted in London for similar crimes. Since it is an international crime ring (and interstate with the Miami arrest) it becomes a federal crime.
Thanks for your thoughts fren. Curious to hear you expand more on the government ID value as Noem is not some low-level slug. Could the badge itself and whatever chips/data it has on it have elevated value? It seems like if you move it to the right person at the right time the badge could actually have tremendous value (though there is no public evidence showing that was the case).
Nah - it would have zero value within 2 minutes of noticing it was gone. They would've deactivated it, and possibly programmed it to silently alarm if someone attempted to use it.
The guy got caught and is spilling his guts about a criminal gang in the DC area.
Probably had a tracking device in the bag.
Ha! Now that makes sense!
If you look at the amounts involved, they look suspiciously like they were juiced to get to $5k.
"Ok we need something for the bait. How about an expensive purse?"
"Well we got this Gucci purse that is $4k new..."
"Well that's not enough, and plus fmv for a used version of that is probably half that. And FFS this is supposed to be a humble Nebraska governor..."
"Well how about we assume it's $2k, and throw in $3k cash, say it's for some gifts or something?"
"Ok but that is just barely $5k and maybe someone would throw the case out cuz it's on the threshold?"
"Well stuff in a $600 Clemente pocket purse too."
South Dakota !
Yep. Dontcha 'member the 4th of July celebration at Mount Rushmore?

Yeah the 3k in cash in her purse seemed odd.
The whole story seems like a WH operation.
Nebraska governor???
Nothing gets by y'all. 🤣
Former South Dakota governor. My son lived in SD for a few years. He was and is a huge fan of Ms. Noem.
