Dude, where’s my Little Bird? Army closes ‘stolen helicopter’ investigation

All is well that ends well, but boy oh boy, the Scuttlebut must have been fast and furious until they found the paper trail. LOL

left hand didn't know what the right was doing

On a "similar" note-

Both when I got short in the army at Ft Polk and after the Gulf War festivities closed down when i was in the Nasty Guard at Camp Shelby MS , I gave thought to "stealing" an M1 tank , mostly in retaliation for being "F---ed with " by some of TPTB, so to speak . I was not going to "steal" one , just "hide" one for a while. I was going to do this by finding an unoccupied tank while we were out in the field , take the antennas off, and then drive/crash it into the nearest deep "pond" I could find, and hope it goes totally under where it could not be seen, and then watch the "CHAOS" LOL. Might have worked in the real army because I have seen the flip outs when any sensitive item disappears. I have to wonder if the National Guard after Desert Storm would have cared. My company "lost" $140,000 of TII/BII off our company tanks , the good stuff, during training for Desert Storm at NTC and Shelby, like PVS-7's(night vision googles), those $200 Buck bayonets , even a some pistols, rifles-or so i heard , etc. It was all just wrote off , no questions asked, no investigations . If I had known that , I might have been severely tempted to see the 4 PVS-7's disappear and maybe a couple M240's or a M2 50 cal off my tank, maybe see a whole tank "disappear". But alas, I was a little too regulation to think about such things.
