Custom made H&K 10mm Subgun goes missing from FBI agent's car
2017-01-23
[Breitbart] The FBI is on the hunt for a Heckler and Koch MP5 10mm and a bullet proof vest that were stolen from an agent’s car in California on January 8 or January 9.

They believe the gun and vest were stolen in "Concord, Orinda or Lafayette."
...or Reno, or Vegas, we simply don't know.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, a fully loaded ammunition magazine was stolen as well.

The MP5 10mm was manufactured by H&K at the FBI’s request. It was a follow-up to H&K’s wildly popular MP5 9mm, and was built after the FBI pushed for a submachine gun in a more powerful round.

#3  It would be interesting to know more details on the story. Were the vest and H & K left in the trunk? Did the car have any identifying markings such as government plates? Were the FBI agent and car targeted because the perp(s) knew this agent? Where was the car when these items were stolen? This is not the first time this sort of thing has happened. Maybe these items should have had GPS trackers in them--something that worked better than the Fast and Furious tracking devices.

#2  If this happened to an FFL the BATF would all but shut him down. But it happened to a cop, so apparently that's just business as usual.
