ATF warns public after 400 guns stolen in Tennessee
(snip- full story in link)
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — About 400 guns have been stolen from a United Parcel Service facility in Memphis, Tennessee, and authorities are concerned about the theft's potential effect on public safety in this city and elsewhere.
Two people driving a U-Haul truck stole the weapons from a UPS facility in Memphis on Sunday, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Monday. The agency is asking for the public's help in the case: It offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

I'm thinking I should raise the bid to $5,500- After all - it is public safety

I was wondering the same thing. $5000 seems awful low.

I'm going with inside job at UPS, somebody setting it up with their buddies.

Oh for sure. Would not be the first time. There is a reason hand guns MUST be shipped over night.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Inside job, no doubt.
Come tomorrow when Rhey Ray don't be showin up, you probably have your lead suspect.

How much for the U-Haul van?

 

[cnwrobb]

Just read that van has been found and arrests made in of all places, Chicago. No mention of guns being recovered thought. My question is it normal for a UPS shipping facility to have 5000 guns present at one time? Seems absurdly high. That is more firearms that most big box stores have on their property. Sounds extremely fishy and there is definitely some sort of collusion of sorts involved.

$5000 divided by 400 guns makes each gun worth $12.50. I'm betting that the thieves can do far better than that selling the guns...even if the guns are hotter than hell.

Word is, they were found in Chicago! Go figure

This is just a big misunderstanding.
These were all bought at a gun show through the "loopholes"...

Operation Fast and Furious Part II gone wrong. Or right depending on your view.

"On the way to Chicago." That's funny. The shit made it to Cook County.

"On the way," that close? That's like saying, "But I pulled out, sweetie."

And I love the fact that the idiots had managed to make $400 on what they had already split off.

That's like, what, $10 bucks a pop? Big time OG there, fellers.
