It's turning even MORE people into criminals, apparently. Just this past week, a small local PD had a shipment of 1000 rounds of .45 (I assume ACP, as they didn't get that specific) stolen from the box the delivery driver was bringing into the station; poorly re-taped. The chief said they needed it mainly for annual qualifying. I can't remember if FedEx or UPS. Article said they have 10 full & 2 part time officers. The chief said something about the box may have broken open and it all fell out at one of the dist. points! The box was decorated with "Warning: Live ammunition" tape & stickers. I suppose that means "Steal me" to the workforce. So now he said he has to pay retail.
I would advise anyone driving through Allegheny Township in Western PA to obey all traffic laws to a T for a while!
I've had ammo delivered to my house and never had any boxes labeled with that caution tape.
1000 rounds isn't very much for 10-12 officers, but somebody is gonna have a Happy Holiday.
