Thieving thieves

Spent a couple days at a conference, digesting maybe a thousand PowerPoint slides over 2 days. Good times.

Also had the opportunity to file paperwork for my stolen Gator. In the evening after reviewing the paperwork with the property book office I returned to the transient housing area to find that someone had dumped out my bag of all personal items and had stolen the backpack/Camelbak combination.

While I am pleased that the thief valued my sweet backpack with misspelled name strip more than my uniforms and digital camera and other various personal effects, it was still pretty disappointing.

Back at the ranch, my new vehicle is Gator 2. New and improved, with additional locking mechanisms. Not that locks work in the Army, since everyone has bolt cutters, but the common perspective is by making your own equipment more difficult to steal than the next person's you may rest easy knowing that it is their stuff that will get stolen instead. Because we are a values based organization.
