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.
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

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
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.

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

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
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.

Missin - g items
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?
