Report: Al Gore Robbed of $35,000
The next time former Vice President Al Gore complains "We wuz robbed," he won't be talking about the 2000 Florida election recount.
Gore and his wife reportedly had $35,000 worth of "valuables" purloined while vacationing in Italy this week.

"The Gores were robbed while staying in a luxurious villa in Castellina," a Tuscan source told the London Spy column in the Daily Telegraph.
"One of the neighbors went in to sympathize, and Al told him that the thieves had taken about $35,000 worth of valuables."
The robbery, which was also reported by the New York Post, occurred while Gore was traveling without his usual security detail, with the ex-VP reportedly telling friends he was kicking himself at the oversight.
It's not clear what "valuables" were taken.
Gore's U.S. office could not immediately confirm the robbery, with a spokesman telling the Telegraph, "I have no information on this."
