Army Offers $10,000 Reward For Stolen Laptops
Wheeler Army Airfield (Hawaii) - Dozens of military laptops and monitors were stolen from Wheeler Army Airfield and now the Army is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the thieves. All of the equipment was still in factory-sealed boxes and were taken last October, curiously the Army is only now talking about the theft.
Army investigators say the computer equipment was stored in a warehouse that was only protected by a chainlink fence. The thieves cut throw the fence and then through a corrugated metal wall of the warehouse.
In all, the Army says the equipment was worth $118,000.

It's no wonder why taxes are dramatically increasing when the army haphazardly cares for equipment paid for by tax payers. I wonder what else has been "stolen" or "misplaced".
Well if you would rather they post more guards and dogs and security systems in every single Army building instead of having some equipement stolen by people that cut through a frikin metal wall and fence, that is you call.
Thats not why your taxes are high... Its cause you been at war for 100 years and the cost is catching up to you.
118k is spent every 5 mins right now with the troops overseas.
It is pretty sad however that 118k is left in the open for theft.
Man, it takes balls to steal from the military like that. In the US don't you get shot for that kind of thing?
