A string of previously undisclosed break-ins at Tennessee National Guard armories last fall marks the latest in a growing series of security breaches at military facilities across the United States, raising fresh concerns about the vulnerability of US armories to theft and intrusion.
A confidential memo from the Tennessee Fusion Center reviewed by WIRED details four break-ins at Tennessee National Guard armories over a seven-week span. In one incident, thieves made off with night vision goggles, laser target locators, and thermal weapons sights, among other equipment. At others, intruders breached fences, tripped alarms, and gained access to supply rooms discovered in the aftermath to have been unlocked.
...
A senior police source informed WIRED on Tuesday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is leading the investigation. The FBI declined to confirm.
Since the FBI has changed its motto of "fidelity, bravery and integrity" to "fealty, buttkissing and ignominity", don't expect any movement on this case once they determine that it's Trump's peeps who have been ripping off that gear. They're becoming as bad as the Naval Coverup Integrity Service has been for decades.

The FBIO has always kissed the ass of whatever administration is in power. They coma after conservatives during the Clinton, Obama and Biden (autopen) administrations too.
I do worry about some of the militias getting some of the gear though, although most of it can be beaten by easily purchasable commercial stuff

They can blast Biden for using an autopen, we can blast Trump for being Epstein's BFF. I'll take that trade.
This does remind me of the prelude to Fort Sumter, when state governments in the soon-to-be Confederacy raided Federal armories across the South, which then-President Buchanon had refused to withdraw munitions from.
"Commercial stuff can beat military stuff." (paraphrased) Someone has been watching the ads that pop up on the non-paying YouTube videos. Everyone needs a flashlight that can be run over by a semi and still start fires with it's intense beam. Not even going to mention the whole house A/C or heating unit that plugs into any 110 volt wall socket and uses no more electricity than a 40 watt bulb. Or the overpriced vitamins for a sixty year old to feel like being twenty again.
Commercial NVG's are better than the current NVG's available to the national guard. Nearly every piece of equipment, lights, tools, etc. that the NG carries except for the lower receivers (full auto) and other NFA items can be bested by available and easily purchasable parts from many suppliers. Most of the NG equipment is 2 or more generations old, as well.
What equipment items, exactly, do you think the National Guard has that is better than commercially available?
