Pssst...Anyone need some NVGs etc?

[TheWizard]

Coming to an ebay account near you....
Equipment worth £500,000 stolen from MoD - Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/9060346/Equipment-worth-500000-stolen-from-MoD.html?)

£230 of pregnancy tests??! :confused:

[Tashengurt]

At least there aren't any Nimrod panels on the list this year. This kind of 'leakage' isn't anything new. Post GW1 we had a dozen pairs of NVGs that weren't on charge. That none went missing was more luck than anything else.

[Pontius Navigator]

Tash, if they weren't on charge . . . .?

[Milo Minderbinder]

insignificant to the amount of stuff that will be lost / forgotten / left behind in Afghanistan when the Pakistanis refuse to let us truck it out

[Kreuger flap]

a shed door

Who the f@3k would nick a shed door? I bet the RAF Police put their best rozzer onto that investigation.

[Seldomfitforpurpose]

I bet the RAF Police put their best rozzer onto that investigation.

Odds on them finding it :p

[Kreuger flap]

Quite good I would say as they have released an artists impression of the missing door.

[MATELO]

It is just an updated version of the "SWO's missing items".


Does any remember such items as 2 tonne shackles and "aircraft steps" in the missing inventory.

PLEASE SEARCH YOUR ROOMS TO SEE IF YOU HAVE SUCH ITEMS

[PICKS135]

Couldnt believe £32 for a paper punch, till I googled it and came up with this little puppy :eek::eek::eek:



Swingline A7074440 Heavy-duty 3-Hole Paper Punch, T-Handle, 40 sheet Capacity, 9/32 Inch Diameter Holes, Black : ACCO Brands (http://www.langtoninfo.co.uk/showitem.aspx?isbn=B00006JNWQ)

[kbrockman]

Comming from the military, I'm surprised nobody mentions a 10.000£ hammer
and a 25.000£ toilet seat.

[high spirits]

morale, fun, allowances, jobs, housing upgrades, cockpits, ships.


Value=priceless

[L J R]

I might have a pair of the boots......Do they want them back?, after 5 yeas in the shed, they are a little mouldy....and before you ask, the Shed door is mine!

[Pontius Navigator]

I had a shed door. It was for a generator. PSA in their wisdom fitted the gennie with a stainless steel exhaust. Next day I didn't have a gennie.

Anyway PSA put a paddlock back on the door.

Next day I had a hole in the fence and still no gennie.

I got more holes but no gennie.

Eventually I got Babcock to remove the door.

Maybe some has bought the shed and demanded a door.

[Tashengurt]

PN, what would your average non pervert do with NVGs? Stores were much more concerned with getting their compo rations back as I recall!

[VinRouge]

NVGs... Great fun for bunny or fox shooting with .22/.17WMR sans lamp.

Takes a lot of the sport out of it, but boy is it still fun!

Not to mention this... :E

[NutLoose]

Anyway PSA put a paddlock back on the door

Bruggen were concerned with the padlocks on the HAS doors, so fitted some uber strong items made of Kryptonite or similar.....
Come the first fire alarm the Fire brigade rush over, whip out the bolt croppers to gain access, lot of struggling and panting later, man dispatched to guardroom to draw keys and old locks appear back on doors within days.. :D

Why would anyone steal compo, all they need to do is withdraw all toilet paper and wait to see who doesn't complain. :p

Thieves stole an astonishing array of items from a snare drum to a pair of telescopic rods worth almost £68,000, it emerged yesterday.
Other items lost or stolen included gym weights, a £2,400 lead statue, £1,000 worth of morphine, games consoles, night vision goggles and four generators.
The sheer scale of the thefts prompted MPs to demand that defence chiefs introduce tighter controls.
Luciana Berger, Labour MP for Liverpool Wavertree said she was “staggered” that so much had been stolen.
"It is astonishing that, on this Government's watch, thieves can continue to walk away with equipment, weapons and body armour meant for British troops in combat or in training,” she said.

She must think the they still walk into battle to the sounds of a drum... All be it a snare one and fish for their rations, mind you with the stolen Compo, they may well have too. :confused:

[mad_jock]

bet alot of it was never even stolen it was just lost in the stackers empire.

I tried to hand back a prismatic and a starlight scope and 4 mecury bat's. Paper work came up that I didn't have them, I must have been mistaken that I signed out 2 stared items.

No I couldn't hand them in.

I know the compass was worth 90 quid and the bats 25 quid a pop. How much is a starlight scope? must be a grand.

G10 was firmly :mad: off nothing to do with us.

When asked what the hell I was ment to do with them the Erskin bridge was mentioned. They should maybe go and dredge under that and also the deep bit of Loch Lomond on the corner.

[SWBKCB]

agreed - there's a huge difference between "it isn't where we thought it was" and "it's been nicked!", but never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

[alisoncc]

Quite good I would say as they have released an artists impression of the missing door.

It wasn't stolen, just borrowed as the door prize at a mess ball.

[chopd95]

Many moons ago, "marching out" from a "hiring" (do such terms still exist?)
Old school families WO in charge - civvie chap spots a serious crack in bidet (don't ask), reports to said WO to whom a favour had been done during the tour. WO looks at his paperwork and announces " there is no bidet on this inventory sah, accordingly it does not exist and neither does the crack".
I suspect such gentlemen may be difficult to find these days?

[aerobelly]

There's a good short story on the subject, winner of the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1955. "Allamagoosa" by Eric Frank Russell.

Allamagoosa (http://www.baenebooks.com/chapters/1439133476/1439133476___3.htm)

Or look for it in several collections. Do not read the WickedPedant entry which gives away the ending.
