Not only have they not found it, they don’t know when exactly it was stolen. I don’t get how that’s even possible. @Beau Vine if you see it driving around be sure to tell the army.

An armored Humvee was stolen late last month from the US Army Reserve Center in San Marcos, police officials confirmed late Tuesday.

The up-armored Humvee, which includes a gun turret, was taken from the vehicle depot at 2850 Leah Avenue sometime between the evening of November 22 and the morning of November 28 after a suspect or suspects entered a fenced-in area.

The Humvee does not have any weapons or sensitive electronics inside of it, an SMPD spokeswoman said via email Tuesday night.

SMPD shared images of a similar equipped and colored Humvee, a multipurpose military vehicle with a starting value of around $160,000.

Vehicle number ‘399 TPC A1-6′ is displayed on the front and rear bumper, officials said.

Let me tell you about Reservists and the National Guard…..

Actually I’m  surprised there were no security cameras, but sounds like the expensive/classified stuff was locked up.  I expect this kind of thing back in the 90s though. Plenty of inside theft.

Hard to spot the Humvee, even in San Marcos."

"you mean, 'cause it was painted in camo?"  

No, they supposedly put a ZTA sticker on the back window...now it'll just totally fucking blend in.

Up-armored Humvees are shitboxes.  Joke's on the thief.

why aren't military vehicles broadcasting their locations on the internet?

I mean it’s not like it’s active duty. It literally says it has no weaponry and no tech. When it’s sitting in a fence why not have a way to make sure it doesn’t get stolen.

Just remove the battery.

That would be anything made by British Leyland.

So true.

England: "We can have 5,000 armored vehicles from Leyland on the beachhead within a month." 

Allies: "You know what?  We're good.  All set.  Just gonna use horses, thanks though."  

Always found it amusing that a people of such substance and quality that are so ugly on the outside make the most beautiful vehicles that are absolute shitshows under the hood.

Why don't they just follow the trail of leaking fluids? 

And end up at South Austin's Mom's house?

Surely it’s some militia gathering equipment for their liberation of ‘Merica.

At least, that’s my hope.

LOL, they better have a good mechanic on hand at all times.

As someone that bought a surplus one a few years ago, do yourself a favor and don’t.

Well, as an old out dated prone to breakdown piece of shit like myself...I figured we'd be a perfect fit...

Dude, LARPers are usually pretty good with mechanical things.   They just can't fix their diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Didn't really see it addressed on this thread by our resident experts...was the .50 accounted for?  I'm sure, like me wishfully sans belt at junior prom, but what's the cupola story>  ?

Any weapons would have been locked away in the armory inside.

Yes, but what this missing AV suggests is what a couple of soldiers took the .50 cal to get it washed as well?

Doesn't matter if they got it washed, waxed and had a shave.   Ammo is stored separately from the weapons.
