Sure would have been VERY smart to include an area code with the contact phone number. I have forwarded far and wide to radio folks … Hams. We are watching. Priority now for everyone is to ’stick your finger in the dike’ and let the embarassed ones at the Point fix the ‘dike’. pmw

Yo, Why didn’t they have an alarm system, it could be an inside job, someone new what was in the storage facility. Watch airports
for shipping, or ads on selling on internet, it could be terroist involved.

So, three radios that would be invaluable to terrorist who were say, trying to attack Indian Point, are stolen from West Point in the middle of the night from a poorly defended and improperly secured building…value well over $400,000. Yet, trying to get information on the CHEAP, they offer a paltry $5,000 reward which is probably tied to arrest and conviction…which often times does not happen. I would think Jared Kalmes is smart enough to realize it will take a reward worth more than one percent of the value to get people to loosen their lips. Also wondering here what action is being taken against higher ups at West Point for treating such sensitive equipment in such a cavalier way? Sounds like my Single Malt Scotch has better security than these radios had.
