You know, in
general I don't disagree with this statement, but I'll go on record here and say
that in my 5 years at LCM, I don't recall a single keycap going missing, or anything
getting stolen.
Good fortune, maybe!
On another ship I sometime volunteer on (DE-766 SLATER), someone stole
a piece of silverware from the officer's ward room (the dining room,
basically)., Yes, just a knife or fork or whatever... but gone
forever.
