Costa-Mota would take the doors and load them onto a lumber cart, said the Secret Service agent who investigated the case.

Wow, he messed with the wrong guys there. I can already see a movie about this in front of my inner eye. Gerard Butler plays the agent.

(Did they maybe want to say "a service agent who doesn't want to be named" or something?)

This may be a silly question, but why would the Secret Service, which is tasked with protecting the President of the United States, be investigating door theft at Home Depot?

Its original mandate was investigating financial fraud. Presidential protection came later and has always been in addition to their original mandate.
