On way to big fundraiser Democrat Adam Schiff's bags are STOLEN from his car in San Francisco

Democrat Adam Schiff had to slum it without a suit at a formal affair in the Bay Area after some sly San Francisco criminals broke into his car and stole his luggage.

The House Democrat, who represents Burbank in Southern California, was in the city for a campaign event. He's currently running a competitive bid for the Senate to replace former Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

During the trip, Schiff committed a cardinal sin - at least in crime-ridden San Francisco - leaving his luggage in his car while it was parked in a downtown garage.

The lawmaker's car was broken into and his suit and other belongings were stolen ahead of the event.

As a result, Schiff was forced to wear casual attire he had on hand at the more formal dinner meeting.
