  1. “The ammunition was used as part of the park’s law enforcement program.”

    Which is illegal to begin with, so it should have been ‘confiscated’.

    “Its theft is a felony.”

    Oh my… so if they catch the ‘confiscator’, he’ll lose not only all that ammo, but his guns as well. tsk, tsk…

  2. Being a part time private investigator.
    I can clearly state by the given evidence.
    That it was the McDonald’s ham burglar that’s responsible for this crime.
    His real goal is to make America. ..
    McGreat again.
    McDonalds…
    I hear they have a new executive order happy meal.
    It’s the number two on the menu.

  3. This is what happens when you put untrained “Barney Fifes” in charge.
    The Forest Service has absolutely no reason to store ammunition at Crater Lake National Park.
    I suspect this is a setup and the ammo will show up in Mexico or the Middle East or Haiti or in our local police state agencies.
    Basically anywhere the “intelligence services (CIA, DHS, DIA, FBI, BLM?, etc., etc., etc.) can make a buck gaming the system.
    I’d put money on the idea that this was why the ammunition was given to all of the National Parks in the first place.
    Crater Lake is just the first place to notice…and not figure out the scam before they reported it.
    Good for them.
