Stolen Goods
How desperate for a few quid do you have to be to steal an RAF blanket and put it on ebay. Notice the location too- Carterton!

Think I'll bid and get their identity.
Sometimes it's just too easy!!

Hi Gang;
Looks too snazzy to be an issue item.
Far too modern for our outfit.
You coppers are dead suspicious.
Anyway, why aren't you out with your speed gun harassing peeps on the Friday exodus???

SFS

Surprise surprise a copper looking to stitch someone 
Quick get yourself to the NAAFI supermarket, there are pads kids nicking trolleys. Failing that, I saw a chap swiping paper clips and I'm sure he had more than three pairs of socks that he was issued with.
Looks like its going to be a busy weekend for the dibble

Military Aircrew
A forum for the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware, and the backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground. Army, Navy and Airforces of the World, all equally welcome here.
Didn't think that a collector of aircrew knives,nail clippers and other sundries would fall into any of the above categories.

Good luck - hope you catch the scrote red-handed!
Years ago I was SDO at real Wattisham (before the dung-eaters took it over). Was asked to come to the Guard Room by the Orderly Sgt - they'd caught some thieving little $hit from Clothing Stores trying to have it away with a few items of DPM which his partners in crime would then have sold in the local market.
The 'investigator' was called. This was a Plod as wide as he was high - wearing a leather jacket and all the humour of someone called in after hours. "Do you need me any further, Sgt" I asked as he set up his shop in the interview room. "No thanks, Sir - not unless we need to tumble his drum" came the reply. "What on earth does that mean", I asked. "Sorry- that means search his gaff, err, his room. It's what we say in the trade", he replied. "Oh, is that all. I thought you meant if you needed to give him a bit of a smacking", I replied. "No Sir, we aren't allowed to do that. Pity though, might make the little bug ger squeal a bit quicker", he said........
Thieving little ba$tards deserve everything that's coming to them!

Hey RAF Copper
There's a flying helmet on ebay as well under "Everything Else - Aviation" from Sleaford! find out who's selling that and it might get you a few more promotion points. Whilst you're there, have a look at alll the other stuff, some of it goes back quite a few years. Should be able to clear up a few old crimes with that lot.
(whilst he's doing that it might keep him off our backs for a while!)
Must clear out my attic, might earn a few bob.

Be fair - it's not yer average grey or white RAF blanket with the 3 blue stripes down the middle. It's obviously a bit of class. Me suspects it might have been used by one of their airships to keep warm and cuddly in.
Perhaps RAF Cop should start by investigating the rank of the seller. If it is one their airships he might make a career for himself with a 'Sandy Wilson' collar. Or, if one of their airships has had it nicked, they are going to be awfully grateful to have it back (might have incriminating stains on it a la Clinton's trousers).
Whichever..... you might get your crown out of this one RAF Cop!!
One day I might relate the tale of how I was nearly shot by an RAF policeman who was playing with his pistol - fortunately there was a concrete wall between him and my desk. (Honington 1982)

It's not one of those 'try to keep warm with this on a VC-10' blankets from years ago is it??
If the BA ones weren't the size of a large handkerchief, I might have liberated one or two for picnics or other outdoor uses by now!

Sold for £14.50! Some one must be desperate. But fear not, Betty Windsor’s finest will relentlessly pursue the purchaser of said property of Her Mag, and bring same to justice.
But why pay £14.50 for a blanket which, if it were like the RN equivalent, was so coarse it gave a totally new meaning to the term 'hairy'; AND made the RAF O/Rs battledress look positively smooth!
There’s no accounting for taste. PC 49, where are you!

Plod...
I'm on the edge of my seat... Did the villain get his collar felt and did you go get a W and spin his drum?
This is more exciting than The Archers...
Come on please tell.....

A blanket, Is that all?
Many years ago a US Navy Chief was stopped when leaving the base (NAS Memphis, Tennessee) when the gate guard noticed some large object hanging under his vehicle. It turned out that the large object was a propeller for an SNJ (Harvard). The chief was in charge of disposing of surplus property and over the period of several years he had been appropriating the parts to build an SNJ. With the propeller he could put it into the air.
Or the old story about the worker in a German WW II munitions plant. Each night when leaving the facility he was pushing a wheelbarrow full of straw. Each night the same guard would check to see what was in the straw. This went on for a year when the guard told the man that each time he inspected the wheelbarrow and the straw he found nothing. He asked the man what he was stealing telling him that he was going to the Russian front and most likely would not return. He pleaded with the man to tell him. The man told him he was stealing wheelbarrows.
