Army CID offers $10,000 reward for stolen HMMWV doors that no one likes
Several Humvee doors have inexplicably gone missing at Fort Liberty. Now Army investigators are hoping a large reward can uncover them.

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?

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Obviously, someone has figured out a way to use them.  Perhaps there can be value for the doors the Army can't see.

What bothers me, though, is how do you get them off the base without anyone noticing.  Maybe there is something for the Army to learn in this too about stealth movement.

Loading them up in a car/truck and driving off post is not going to be a problem as most bases don't perform security checks on the way out except in very random cases.
The odds of exfiltrating them safely are in your favor.  :whistle:
