Since it wasn’t well guarded they didn’t steal-steal </Whoopie Goldburg> it, and there was no criminal intent, no reasonable prosecutor would would bring such a case </James Comey>
My father once explained to me why the military was so hard on soldiers and sailors (expecially sailors in a shipboard environment) who failed to secure their belongings and gear...it was that it provided temptation to weak men, and therefore contributed to crime.
That made sense to me, and I heard the same thing when I joined the Navy myself.
But letting the people who stole off simply because something wasn’t secured correctly? Hell no!
