Industrious Thieves
The defense ministry of India has launched an investigation after a recent theft at their Integrated Defence Staff headquarters. The score that the thieves made off with: 13 ink cartridges.
The thieves broke in over the weekend and so the missing ink cartridges weren’t discovered until the following Monday. There have been some other recent problems with security similar to this, so this is embarrassing for the Indian defence ministry. The location of the theft, the Kashmir House, houses top secret offices like the IDS, which is a joint project made up of the army, navy and air force. So while it’s not exactly like someone breaking into the Pentagon, it’s still not that far off. The police think it’s an inside job, although they haven’t ruled out an international cartel of cartridge thieves.

This is really amusing as well as baffling. I do not understand why on earth will thieves take away things like printer cartridges. I can hardly stop smiling at this. I dont think that its some high handed criminal racket, but its the work of some local thieves. I agree that insiders are involved.

Amazing! I can’t believe it - 13 ink cartridges. What’s next - 22 ball point pens, a Swingline stapler, a gel mouse pad? My supplies are going under lock and key.

It would be stupid on our part if we think it’s just a matter of 13 ink cartridges that is been missing coz it has a grave threat hidden behind it. I too feel that there is some inside person involved in this and though its just a matter of 13 cartridges, next time it could be something more heinous. Hence a hilarious instance for the time being poses a profound question about the security of Kashmir House.

It always starts with something small and then escalates. Printer cartridges today, computers tomorrow, plans for weapons of mass destruction the next. Where will it end?
