I have also read 3 different sets of numbers as to what went missing and I have to wonder f they just don't have a clue or is the media seriously screwing up?

FWIW, I agree. The LAPD is presenting skewed narratives. It was either (a) an inside job (i.e. corruption and criminality) or (b) lapse of professionalism ("oops, our bad
"). The items stolen were either (1) of no real concern to the general public because they cannot fire live ammunition but (2) we (the LAPD) really need to recover these items.
I have a lot of confidence in the rank and file of the LAPD. I would like to think that this incident is isolated and a lot of the confusion comes from the difficulties of public affairs types trying to keep pace with an ongoing investigations. However, I fear that there's some bad cheese somewhere in the fridge.
In regards to TS's and TR's points, LAPD special tactics does a lot of self promoting--at times it does seem a
little like chest thumping when they argue they're the world's best unit. As a citizen of L.A., I hope that when it really hits the fan, there will be sizzle to the steak.
My $0.02, YMMV.
