OMG, what a haul someone made. I dread the thought of where these firearms will turn up.
We as firearms owners get looked down on when we dont secure our firearms well enough and they turn up missing. But our military can have warehouses full of thousands and thousands of full auto weapons and tons of ammo and not have even 1 armed guard there. This is just crazy!!!

A media report coming in from overseas states that enough M16 rifles went missing from a warehouse in Kuwait this month to arm and equip and entire division of infantry. Worse, it seems the warehouse was unguarded and a huge cache of ammo went south as well.
The Crime
According to the World Tribune who reported on April 9:
"The [Kuwaiti] Interior Ministry said thieves broke into a warehouse and stole a huge amount of firearms and ammunition. The ministry said 20,000 U.S.-origin M-16 assault rifles and 15,000 rounds for 9mm pistols were stolen. "There were no guards during the break-in," the ministry said on April 7. The ministry said the target was a warehouse of the Interior Ministry in Subiya, Middle East Newsline reported. The statement said thieves broke three doors and removed the entire contents of the warehouse."
