Re: 400 guns stolen from UPS in TN
Some things never change, in the late 80's I had a boss who came from Roadway Package Express's hub at the Newark, NJ airport. and they were doing the same thing, hiring from the local dregs and amazingly watches and jewelry boxes were not safe in the Distribution Center...

Re: 400 guns stolen from UPS in TN
This isn't exactly related, but I worked in a shipping warehouse when I was young, and guys used to throw stuff in the dumpster and then grab it on their way out.
The manager was a friend of mine and I told him what I was seeing with the somewhat regular theft of small quantities of merchandise.
He told me management knew about the theft and they deliberately allowed it to happen to keep their low wage employees happy.
From their perspective the company made more money allowing the theft than they would if they hired more expensive honest employees.
It was a real education for me at the time.How can you have any cookies if you don't drink your milk?

Ran the documentation section of a small seaport. Break-bulk cargo ship came in (this was before everything was containerized), local longshoremen unloaded the vessel. Every now and then we'd have to remind the workers not to go whole hog on pilfering the booze in the shipment. One or two bottles each, okay, but nothing more. Just the cost of offloading a ship as quickly as possible, and our goal was to get them in and out within 24 hours, or less.
400 firearms, however, is something different.

I used to see containers delivered with holes punched through the top with a sledge hammer.
Everything within arms reach of the hole was taken leaving a small empty cavity of missing merchandise in the container.
Was told it happens on the ship during the crossing all the time, there is no way to track down the thieves, just ignored as a cost of doing business.
I agree the guns are a different matter.How can you have any cookies if you don't drink your milk?
