#4 - Headlights
- License plate bulb
- No blinker

These guys had been on somebody's radar for a while. Wonder why LE didn't wait for the delivery and pickup the whole crew. Poss someone they didn't want to compromise.

Prob won't know the whole story for 75 years.

#5 It would also be quite interesting to know who sold them all that ammo.

#7 Fun with math. At 60 cents a round that’s over $100,000 of ammo. Unlikely they paid by credit card. And taking a check for that amount from 2 strangers? No gun store I know of would do that. So cash - and wouldn’t you wonder about a cash deal like that? Further, I’ve been to some big gun shops - who keeps.that much 308 ammo on hand (money tied up in inventory). Many online ammo dealers list what they have in stock and that amount exceeds the standard by far. Finally - weight. You are talking 2 1/2 tons of ammo here. The boxes were bulk loaded into the truck, not on a skid with a forklift. Somebody busted a sweat to make this happen. Frankly this is completely off the charts for “just another day at the shop.”
