A laptop owned by the former campaign manager that Gov. Bill Ritter publicly disowned has been reported stolen, raising unanswered questions about its contents.

Ritter accused Greg Kolomitz on April 15 of writing himself and his company $83,250 worth of unauthorized checks. The governor also produced an audit finding Kolomitz improperly paid $217,164.56 in campaign bills with money donated for the Democratic governor's inauguration.

Three days later, on April 18, Kolomitz reported to Denver police that his Dell laptop had been stolen from inside his locked Colfax Avenue political consulting firm, Solutions West, sometime between the afternoon of April 16 and the morning of April 18.

"Unknown suspect(s) took the listed laptop from the victim's locked office by unknown means and fled in an unknown direction," the report reads. "The victim stated that only the building cleaning crew had keys to the offices."

Police said they have no leads, and Kolomitz declined to comment for this story.

"It's unfortunate because I'm sure that laptop contains critical information about what happened," said Scott Gessler, the attorney who filed a complaint against Ritter and Kolomitz on behalf of Rep. Kent Lambert, R-Colorado Springs.

The Colorado Secretary of State's office has forwarded Lambert's campaign finance violation complaint to the Office of Administrative Courts.

Lawyers for Lambert and Ritter are in the process of arguing through a series of briefs whether the case should be dismissed. They have until early June to file the last of those arguments.

If Lambert succeeds in having an administrative law judge hear the case, Gessler said he may be able to subpoena Kolomitz.

Gessler said that trial wouldn't be scheduled until at least July.

"It's not on the rocket docket," he said.
