The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division’s Carolinas Field Office is offering a $10,000 reward for a bunch of stolen HMMWV, better known as Humvee, doors. The debauchery is afoot at one of the largest military bases on the East Coast, home of the Army’s special operations, heart of the airborne and now the site of an ongoing misdemeanor spree involving the stolen doors.
These stolen doors are from the arguably most useless vehicles in the U.S. military’s arsenal, non-armored Humvees. U.S. Army WTF Moments shared the CID award release on Thursday, Jan. 2, which states that multiple doors have been stolen from several motor pools belonging to the 50th Signal Battalion; 188th Brigade Support Battalion; 3rd Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment; and XVIII Airborne Corps.
CID confirmed the authenticity of the reward and that it was still an ongoing investigation. The reward was first issued in October, per a spokesperson. CID did not clarify how many doors are stolen or when they first went missing. It’s also unclear if any more have been taken since the reward was issued, but it’s a widespread issue at Fort Liberty. The question remains: why are the doors belonging to one of the most useless military vehicles being stolen? And how did so many go missing?
