The FBI is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the return of 2 rifles that were, as O’Ryan Johnson of the Boston Herald reports, “stolen from an FBI SWAT emergency response vehicle.”

The weapons were an M-16 and a "sniper rifle" in .308 caliber. The kind of scary looking guns that we are told must be kept out of the hands of irresponsible civilians and entrusted only to wise, trained professionals.

The FBI’s "SWAT emergency response vehicle,” was in Andover, Massachusetts when the guns were pinched. The town is known, chiefly, as the site of an expensive and prestigious prep school and one does wonder why the FBI needed that kind of firepower to go in there.

One also wonders if you will be read your Miranda rights before or after you get the twenty grand.

Wonder what kind of vehicle they were taken from (car/SUV/van/MRAP), and whether it was left unsecured or broken into. We had a spate of local thefts from unmarked detective cars where raid vests, guns and badges were taken.

an FBI SWAT emergency response vehicle.

Is that what we're calling Chevy Malibu G-rides now?

IIRC, a while back they had a vehicle stolen with MP5s, or something along those lines.

Does anyone else want to pound their head against a spiked plank after reading this?

No.

Can't say the same 'bout heads belonging to some others, though.
