117. I agree, theft happens.
Particularly from the people who have checked it out. That's the safest route. Few would be dumb enough to sell something they checked out themselves. Putting the onus on the holder of the device to ensure it's location helps, but doesn't prevent theft, as you point out. Individuals misplace things. Individuals sleep. Individuals use the restroom, or shower. Individuals turn their backs on their stuff momentarily.


Nobody said the military was full of angels. Simply put, your initial premise seemed wildly over-stated. Yes, our military does 'leak' some weapons. Very few, however. And the loss point is usually quickly identified.
