: Stolen PEQ 15 on Ebay?????

Is there any reason or way that a serialized PEQ 15 could be for sale?
The guy selling it says in an email that it is an "Airsoft Unit", if so why is he asking $3990.00?
The picture of the item has the place where the serial number would be blacked out.

User ID has SSG.

Been a while...does Navy abbreviate rank the same? I want to say no but not 100% certain.

If not, I am guessing he is using the Navy lexicon to throw folks off and attract the word searchers.

If has SAW stocks and PEQ-15, then he is definetely not your run of the mill crook.

For the Army PEQ-15 are a sensitive item and supposed to be accounted for via a hands on inventory every 30 days by either the unit Commander or an appointed rep. on a rotating basis.

So there is plenty to this story.

If somebody gets me the serial number, this can get fun.

This is all what I told him and he alters the ad to remove the Brand New Realdeal part. And now it is just listed as a $4k airsoft toy. I'm going to ask for the serial number today.

The original ad and all the Emails I have calling him out along with a link to this thread have been forwarded to these folks (some colleagues of mine)

Dear ssg1234a,

If this is a model for airsoft use why do you want
and expect $3,999 for it? This is a controlled and
serialized piece of US gear. Steal Much?
Staff Sergeant.

Dear sere0331,

This is an airsoft unit, but just because I'm asking $3,999 for it, doesn't mean anyone pays that amount for a toy.

- ssg1234a


Dear ssg1234a,

I believe your description says "Brand new,
realdeal PEQ15 ATPIAL by Insight". Is it real or
fake. You could be facing a felony. Screen shots
of this auction will be turned into my CID office
Monday morning.

- sere0331

Dear sere0331,

Now it is corrected, please see my other auction. Thank you for your time.

- ssg1234a



Dear ssg1234a,

So to prove it is an airsoft toy and not the
realdeal why don't you post a picture of it
showing the serial number? You know where you
blacked it out?

Dear sere0331,

There you go, you can sleep your nights safely now. The only thing real with this plastic box is Insight sticker set that was used to replace original Hong Kong stickers. You should be given a medal for being such a hero with toys like this.

What gear are you trying to get that you can't?


Seriously?


I have been around more than a day or two so let me know and unless it is Class II or VII you should be able to get it easily and even if it is one of those classes you can do an ONS (operational needs statement) and usually get it.

I don't know shit about you but I am on my way back from Afghanistan right now and can assure you there wasn't much I wanted that I couldn't get.

I would have tipped him off, because he can quickly "lose" the item.
Just report it, and move on.

Quite frankly, I would hope those on e-bay as a sting operation. However, I suspect that I am wrong and there are really dumbasses selling stolen military equipment on e-bay. Selling a kevlar helmet is one thing, but to sell a laser targeting device is a whole different story.

What are you after? Does it have an NSN? Do you have a government credit card? Usually smaller elements get that? Who are you supporting? Can they get it? If no issue then fine but I am willing to bet there is an SSA somewhere there that has it sitting on the shelf.

My thoughts too.

Once he is identified it is easy to figure out even if he tries to claim he lost it. Military maintains records for those things for a VERY LONG time...as in the entire history of the item since it entered inventory. Either way this guy is fucked provided he is investigated as there is no such thing as plausible deniability on these things.

Equipment manufacturers also have a very good record system for parts broken down by lot, shipper, etc. You just have to know where to look.

Stealing is stealing. However, what material is most likely to be stolen in volume....MREs or PEQ-15s? Also, is a bulk package of MREs more or less accessible than PEQ-15s.

boatguy
02-22-2010, 07:02 PM
A pallet of MREs isn't dangerous in the hands of the enemy(unless he drops it on you), and a lot of them contain some form of pork, so even though you might be feeding the jihad, you're still doing your part by keeping them from their virgins.:D

A laser target designator, on the other hand, simply makes a weapon more accurate(when used properly), especially at night. Granted the ATPIAL is designed to be used with NVGs, but bad guys have been found with NVGs on the battlefield numerous times, some from dead Americans, others bought on the open market and smuggled home.

Field Marshall Edwin Rommel would disagree. An enemy won't get too far without food or in Rommel's case...oil.

I know what ATPIALs are used for.

I wonder how many laser guided munitions have been launched at Allied targets by insurgents? What good is an ATPIAL without the munition and more importantly, the proper manner to deploy it?

1st Recline Bn
02-22-2010, 10:20 PM
It does not guide laser guided munitions, it's purpose is for aiming at night with NVGs and target illumination for supporting arms i.e. armor, aircraft, and heavy guns. It is employed attached and zeroed to the individual weapon system via a rail system or carrying handle adapter. The PEQ-15 emits both visible and non-visible (IR) beams depending on the conditions it is used in.

an item like that besides being used for night time shooting can also be used to direct fire on our troops in the right situation.

As far as directing fire, other shooters would have to wear NVG to see the lit target right? I know some LE helicopters have laser illuminators that light up the intended target like a bonfire....but only to those officers who have NV monoculars/googles.

Basically yes. remember it also has a naked eye setting.

But imaging not suing it so that other bad guys know where to shot, but rather to introduce a blue on blue incident.

I haven't checked govliquidation in a while but as of about 2 years ago it was not uncommon to see PALLETS of H1s available.

Now that we are switching from HMMWVs to newer vehicles, expect this to increase.

8 lugs can only be used in non-armor (998, 1025, etc) applications as 1114, 1056, etc. all require many more bolts to keep the rim together as the trucks are a lot heavier and the military will probably start using those across the entire line to save money with one part number.

8 lugs can only be used in non-armor (998, 1025, etc) applications as 1114, 1056, etc. all require many more bolts to keep the rim together as the trucks are a lot heavier and the military will probably start using those across the entire line to save money with one part number.

as someone who owns a set I know exactly how hard the new T/A's are to get. I have been hunting DRMO and pestering people who do big tire runs for a year for just ONE tire, never mind another 24 bolt wheel, I just need a spare tire that matches.

BFG Baja T/As are not a "common" DRMO item, 4 maybe..once in a while but no way in fuck the number he got. Remember these are not GoodYear MTRs or even TSLs.

Keep in mind they are reseting all the HMMWVs from Iraq that are going back through the rebuild shops so parts might be scarce.

It has been a few years since I tried looking.

Back in 2006 I was living in the BEQ with a guy that worked in supply, and was stealing aircraft parts and selling them on Ebay. Most of what he sold was purchased by different parties. Turns out, the GOV ain't that stupid. Everything he sold was purchased, traced, and was sitting in a room at the squadrin.

Let's just say, he didn't make any money.

As for the MRE's, I don't know how long they last but isn't there a stipulation where they could be 10 years old? Is it possible some of the MRE's popping up are there so the solders don't HAVE to eat them? I know, a little out side the box.

Don't know about MREs and current rules but I do know that I was eating C-rations in the early to mid-80s that were packed during the Korean War. The pound cake would lock up the bowels of an elephant. The chocolate nut roll was about as bad. Best desert was cobbler we made with the canned peaches, sugar and crackers. A hot trading item was the round chocolate bars that we called road wheels - hard as a brick but tasted pretty good even after 30 years. Good times there!

not sure if this is the same guy or not.. either way its good news..

GREAT FALLS, Mont. — A 25-year-old airman has been sentenced to 10 months in prison and ordered to pay $48,000 in restitution for stealing and reselling Air Force equipment, including night vision goggles and a laser aiming device.

Senior Airman Delmas Dingess of Great Falls was sentenced Thursday by U.S. District Judge Sam Haddon, who also ordered him to serve three years on supervised release.

Prosecutors say the thefts occurred between December 2006 and March 2007 while Dingess was stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base. Dingess was assigned to his unit’s equipment locker, where he received and disbursed equipment.

Prosecutors say he stole mostly small items and sold them on eBay.

Authorities say the more sensitive items, like the night vision goggles, have been recovered.

What is funny about this is all sensitive items (weapons, NVGs, etc.) are tracked and can be traced all the way to the end user.

who do I need to contact to investigate a peq-14 for sale?

a local board I visit has this ad "A buddy has a Peq-14 weapons light he would like to sell Those who know what this is know how rare this is. It is as new with all parts, manual, remote switch, and case. He is asking $1600 and I can get pics to those interested."

Tell him to take a picture of the serial number plate. Tell him that you can tell if its a Chinese knock off by the serial number. If you get a serial number that you could contact Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID).

Noooooooo, your team doesn't have them because you are not authorized by MTOE and it requires an ONS from your S4 to PBO for approval by DA so they will give them to you.

:laughing:

In other news there are civilian equivalents that give you about the same measure of performance that can be purchased with a government credit card but I am willing to bet you don't have one of those either.

actually :flipoff2: My Group is authorized. They are sitting in the arms room right now. I was making a fricking joke. Atleast someone got it. I choose not to carry them because I am not a door kicker this rotation but sitting in a staff level maintenance position and dont feel like adding more weight to carry when I do carry my M4. :flipoff2:

EDIT: Nope dont have a GPC. My cheif wants me to tale the class to have one for our garrison DODDAC but I am not home enough to make it worth while. So they gave it up to one of the HQ guys. Besides, there is too much bullshit involved in having one. Even if I did have one, there are better things I could be spending my money on like repair parts.

If you notify CID/NCIS someone will investigate it and get the jackass who's selling it. It takes awhile though, I notified both CID and the FBI just in case the seller in the OP was a civvy.

anyhow. If an item is bought at gov't auction and it says "Property of the U.S. Government", is the purchaser required to remove that before resale? I have seen lots of stuff at pawn shops around Ft. Bragg with items for sale with these markings.

You can if you want but I haven't seen anything on it.

I have plenty of rifle mags, military accessories, etc. marked US Government that are classified as expendable.
