The crook who robbed Kal Penn messed with the wrong guy. Penn was held up at gunpoint early Tuesday morning in Washington, D.C., by an unidentified man who took off with his wallet and personal belongings. The robber also made off with Penn’s two cell phones – one of which belongs to the U.S. government. The “Harold & Kumar” actor is a member of President Obama’s staff, serving as the Associate Director in the Office of Public Engagement. Since the thief stole Penn’s government issued cell phone, the Secret Service has joined the D.C. Metro Police Department in the investigation. White House communications immediately stopped service on the stolen phone once they were contacted by Penn, who has since been issued a new device. Penn is set to leave his White House gig to continue his acting career. He will begin shooting a Christmas-themed third installment of “Harold & Kumar” in June.
