counted them. Everybody believed it was a hoax until
the school brought the
case to the plant and then heads rolled. Actually only an empty case. I've
heard that small military items, weapons, occasionally disappear because
they are never visually counted only accounted for in the computer.
The guy I got the F-15 from ended up with a brand new torpedo the same
way. He used to buy their shipment cases as surplus and due to a mixup at
the facility that was disposing of the containers, a full one was
loaded. The Navy gave birth to a full grown cow when they found out about
it. It had the guidance section as well as the warhead (if I recall
correctly) installed.
