Got Colt? Somebody does. 63 ARs go missing while being shipped to Louisiana

Sixty-three high-powered semi-automatic guns disappeared from a truck two weekends ago, according to an internal law enforcement memo obtained exclusively by CBS News.

A shipment of AR-15 Colt Law Enforcement Carbines left Hartford, Conn., home of Colt Manufacturing, on a truck headed south, but some of the guns on board the truck were missing when the truck was inspected in its final destination of Shreveport, La.

Last year, 100 AK-pattern rifles were taken off a train near Atlanta, and to the best of my knowledge, the trail on that case has gone cold as well.

Update: Four suspects have been arrested. Inside job by the contract security guard and his idiot friends.
