demo to a scrapyard in Tijuana. In the load was one
of the Williams
turbofan motors (Value? about $150k). Took industrial security almost
a week to find it. Only person diciplined was the plant protection
guard that let it out. He got three days off.
Reminds me of a similar incident at a place I used to work... Not
military related though.
Back in 1990 or so the company bought a new NEC PABX. Not ready to
install it, they stored it in the warehouse on it's original pallet
pending installation.
The warehouse cleaner came along, saw a big empty looking box on a pallet
sitting next to his rubbish pallets, grabbed a forklift and dumped it into
the rubbish truck.
Worth about $70,000 and was never recovered.
