Not just grenades falling off a truck, a gun, ammo, more stuff missing. This is just USAF. Reminds you of Sgt Billco sit com.

Depending upon how frequently storage facilities are inventoried, the supply officer and lead NCO in charge when the items went missing may already be retired or discharged, so the new guys end up taking the heat. Or, the new guys could be the crooks!
But, if the thief is the one doing the inventory, the missing items are still there! They'll only turn up missing after he's gone.
I've seen a case where half the sleeping bags were stolen from the armory. The other half were unrolled, cut in half, then re-rolled loosely, so that, when looking at them way up on the top shelf, there appeared to be the correct number of sleeping bags present ...
The guy who was rumored to have taken the night sight didn’t have access to the armory, as far as I know. The stuff in the armory was secured behind a locked steel door and a locked steel-cage door and the firearms were individually locked into steel racks. I assume the other sensitive (expensive) items were locked in cabinets. The sight must have been taken as items were being returned to the armory, but, to the best of my knowledge, the armorer wasn’t disciplined for failing to verify the return of an item.
I intimately understand the security of AF munitions. It would likely be in the plural as in “thieves” to pull it off.
