In a screw up so big it could only be brought to you by the government or
a famous athlete, [0]243 guns were lost by Homeland Security agencies
between 2006 and 2008. 179 guns, were lost "because officers did not
properly secure them," an inspector general report said. One of the worst
examples of carelessness cites a customs officer who left a firearm in an
idling vehicle in the parking lot of a convenience store. The vehicle was
stolen while the officer was inside. "A local law enforcement officer
later recovered the firearm from a suspected gang member and drug
smuggler," the report said.
