I don't get why people think they can get away with theft of govt property, especially sensitive items.

I spent about 14 years at Ft Hood, over three assignments. It is just too big. No Army post should be larger than a single division with its supporting elements. That would make it easier to control all the BS that goes on there.

It might help if the ARMY raised the minimal entry standards for personnel desiring to be among America's finest.

I don't disagree, but in this case it seems like a couple of veterans one of which had inside info on what was stored where did a targeted theft. I'm not sure you can ever stop that.

There are dumb crooks in every walk of life but stealing high dollar military equipment takes it to a new level.

" threw the stolen gear over the fence for her to put in her car and drive to Nathan Nichols, a civilian businessman living in nearby Corpus Christi."

260 miles...."nearby"....Has to be from Texas.

Yokubaitis started his investigation by checking to see if the stolen gear had been listed online for resale. It had, on Ebay.

He first found a AN PCS HWTS Thermal Scope listed for $4,500 in Corpus Christi, just hours from Fort Hood. After confirming the serial number, which was shown in the product's pictures, Yokubaitis continued his search for some of the other items noted as missing in the Army's inventory.

The agent found them listed on Nathan Nichols' account, us-everythingmustgo.
