A little bit off topic, but a this reminds me of a true story.... I was a
Duty Officer a few years ago over a Christmas holiday for a couple of Army
bases in New Zealand and someone stole a whole garage close to a back fence
at one of the bases. I asked the Duty Sergeant how and entire freaking 20'
x 40' steel garage could go missing on his watch and if watching it driving
past the guard hut made him at all suspicious! Anyhow, it was an
interesting report I made to the MPs..... I think I am still the only
Officer to have lost a garage in the NZ Army.... at least in recent
history....
