The containers all turned up in the port (about 50 of them), the logisitics staff had lists of all the suff in the containers but no way of knowing which container it was. You had hundreds of personel (all three services) running around trying to find 'their' bit of kit with the result that no matter how good the supply chain, if some finds a box that looks about right they will take it away along with anything else that looks useful.

Don't have any problems with the pipeling, it's when it gushes out the other end that it all goes pear shaped. When you are 150km away from the main depot and someone stops off for a brew and happens to have exactly what you want in the back of their truck then it's going to get lifted irrespective of who it belongs to.
