Nasche, who also has worked as a veterans&#8217; advocate, attended Saturday\u2019s event with his fianc\u00e9e and a Marine he knew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m really tied into the veteran network here in Houston, and a good friend of mine bought a table at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2020\/10\/12\/marine-corps-to-limit-travel-for-upcoming-birthday-ball\/\">Marine Corps ball<\/a> and invited a few non-Marines,\u201d Nasche told Marine Corps Times on Thursday. \u201cThey only had one parking lot open, and it was pretty full already. The parking that was available was all the way at the edge against a feeder road.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nasche said he has knee, back, neck and ankle issues after serving as a paratrooper in the Army\u2019s 82nd Airborne infantry Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"639\" height=\"488\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/XLFMSJO3MNDTBJAQPZA7RUHNBM.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/XLFMSJO3MNDTBJAQPZA7RUHNBM.jpg.jpg 639w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/XLFMSJO3MNDTBJAQPZA7RUHNBM.jpg.jpg?resize=300,229 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nasche and fianc\u00e9e, Nicole Aguais, pose for a picture at Saturday&#8217;s ball. (Photo courtesy Mike Nasche)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Nasche and his fianc\u00e9e left the Houston Marriott South after 9:00 p.m., they found the rear driver\u2019s side window of his truck smashed in, shards of glass littering the backseat. He suspects the thieves were interrupted when entering his truck, since many of his possessions were still there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Houston Police Department said a total of four vehicles were broken into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you have a disabled veterans license plate, the likelihood of having toys, tools, or weapons goes up even more than if you just had a nice truck,\u201d Nasche said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is the lowest of the low,&#8221; Nicole Aguais, Nasche\u2019s fianc\u00e9 told KRPC 2. &#8220;It\u2019s one thing when you harm civilians, it\u2019s another thing to stoop to the level of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/2020\/05\/22\/active-duty-more-likely-than-civilians-to-report-money-stolen-from-their-bank-accounts-ftc-finds\/\">targeting veterans<\/a> on a veteran-specific event four days before Veterans Day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The auto theft division of the Houston Police Department is investigating the incident but currently has no suspects or information about the perpetrator\u2019s vehicle, Houston police told Marine Corps Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nasche and Aguais initially were upset by the Marriott\u2019s lack of response to the incident, telling local news that there were no on-duty security personnel or roving patrols of the parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The couple eventually spoke to the hotel\u2019s general manager, a fellow veteran, who assured them that their concerns about security would be brought before hotel management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Houston Marriott South did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saturday\u2019s ball, put on by the Marine Corps Coordinating Council of Southeast Texas, was one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2020\/07\/27\/it-is-probable-that-corps-birthday-balls-will-be-limited-by-covid-19-top-enlisted-marine-says\/\">few 245th birthday celebrations<\/a> to take place for the Marine Corps, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nasche said attendees bided by public health guidelines but didn\u2019t let them stop a good time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All of the victims had disabled veteran license
