According to a new report released by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, many pieces of military equipment which were stolen have been sold on eBay as well as Craigslist.
The report stated that inspectors managed to pose as buyers and go onto eBay and Craigslist, purchasing these highly sensitive military items.
The items include two F-14 fighter jet components, special night vision goggles for the military, army combat uniforms for soldiers, as well as enhanced body armor used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
They found many of these stolen and sensitive items up for sale on eBay and Craigslist. The report stated that “A review of policies and procedures for these Web sites determined that there are few safeguards to prevent the sale of sensitive and stolen defense-related items using the sites.”
EBay and Craigslist have fought back though, touting their ability to police what is sold through their respective services.
