Thousands of critical avionics components have disappeared from an Italian Air Force warehouse in Brindisi.

Euronews reported that investigators are probing the disappearance of nearly 2,500 aircraft components for military planes worth about €17 million.

Nothing to see here

The missing items include electronic modules and systems for Panavia Tornado fighter-bombers, AMX International attack aircraft and Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport planes.

I feel like fencing some of those might be a bit difficult, especially if they have serial numbers.

WP says that there are three active operators of Tornados --- the German military, Italian military, and Saudi Arabian military.
