Why would call out the bomb squad unit, to report missing explosives? Oh, look it was right here yesterday, all 8 tons!
Yea, sure….Call the cops and I’m sure that I’ll be the one with a bullet in my back and be declared the patsy, while the explosives “mysteriously disappear” yet again.
And if you’ve seen the security at Halliburton, you’d know that the only way they would have “mysteriously disappear” would be because they allowed it to happen.
