We've screwed the American Indians out of so much that I should not get excised about this GAO report. It documents the loss or theft of a significant amount of property from the Indian Health Service in the last three years. Because of poor recordkeeping the GAO could not be sure how much has been lost. Some of the items would be difficult to lose - pickup trucks, tractors, ATVs, Jaws of Life. Others would be easier such as PCs and cameras. In total it seems as though at least 5,000 items are unaccounted for.
The problem was particularly acute at headquarters. 36% of the IT equipment was missing and employees tried to doctor the records. Things were so bad there that the Inspector General has been called in.
