Stolen at the 1500

[flatlander]

A dealer at a show had left a .22 suppressor laying out on his table at one show. I saw it between 2 display cases and asked him if he knew it was there. He went a little white and thanked me as he had forgotten to put it back in the case.
When we used to do that show it was interesting to see the parade of humanity go by. Sometimes you just got that feeling. We never lost anything but I'm sure we discouraged some by having 2 of us watching most the time.

US Military use these? NSN = DoD.

Not that it matters to this conversation, but NSN is a NATO number, not US DoD...

The second number group XX is a country code, USA is 00 and 01. The 12 is for Germany. Here is a good read about NSN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_Stock_Number .

I hope the thieves are caught and you get it back. Do they have security cameras at the show?

That sucks, I hope it shows up, but not after being used in any type of illegal activity.

The NSN system is used by ALL Nato countries. Not just the USofA.

However, each country in Nato has a two digit code for all of it's items. It's the second pair of numbers. 12. Is for West Germany and now just Germany.

(00 and 01 is for the US)

Those are exceeeedingly rare. Last one I saw sell online is 2005.

Usually there are a few LEO inside, would any of them roving outside help deter this?

Maybe for the non-professional thief. The true Pro's won't care, they will just be more careful.

Probably not, most items are sold without a proof of purchase. The police would have no way of knowing what it was and if you brought it with you in or if you stole it or if you bought it.
