Another CBP On Duty Theft--Logan Agent Steals the Man on the Moon

Bu Bu But he had a background check.

"Two men, one a US Customs official, are facing federal charges in Boston for stealing Astronaut Neil Armstrong's signed customs declaration form.

Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, had signed a standard form and turned it in after landing on an international flight at Logan International Airport. A US Customs and Border Protection technician and his friend are accused of making off with the document and trying to sell it, the Boston Globe reports.

Chapman was working when Armstrong passed through a CBP checkpoint at Logan on March 13, according to the complaint. Rather than properly filing Armstrong's customs form, he allegedly kept it and took it to Brickman's home."

The idiots got caught because they tried to sell it at a public auction and "bidding began May 22 at $200 and reached $1,026 before someone questioned the legality of selling a government document." Duh.
