Robert, before you critizise me, Mark has had 1.5 months to respond to this issue and never has.  So, I can assume he does not care or it is true.  Take your choice.  Here is an email I received:

The post up tonight regarding the SD reminds me that I am hearing a story repeated over and over again regarding your friend Mark Kirk. The story goes that 3 different times someone from FAC mgmt has been called out to the High dessert while on call, in county car to retrieve the keys that Mr. Kirk locked in his car while at his girlfriend’s house. The story goes that the 1st time the employee documented the incident as he is required to do on any such call thinking nothing about it. Problem is the next morning same employee was verbally reprimanded for documenting it since it was an incident regarding a BOS member chief of staff. The employee argued but was of course shot down. The next 2 calls were not documented. Don’t know if it is true or not but the source has no reason to lie and has no idea that I know you. Just thought you would like to know that this story is out there since you have gone to bat for this guy and his integrity over and over again.

True, only to find out that the Mark I thought I knew is not the real Mark.
