Well whoever is selling meth on the street is probably very happy about having an FBI ballistics vest now.

Sounds like a good comic book charactor original story. Gets shot at by a Crack head and the badge saves his life so he decides to dedicate his life to the badge. Helping keep cops up for their long shifts.
They could call him Badge Man. Badge the size of a vest.
Agents were at the hotel by 3 p.m. that same day, but by then they say the ballistics vest and gas gun were missing. Acosta Alvarez allegedly claimed he traded them to someone for $20 worth of methamphetamine. If that’s true, then he drastically undersold; federal authorities estimate the vest alone was worth $1,500.
Perfect for a drug dealer who plans to raid their competition.
Look, FBI... when people say you should just leave your car doors unlocked and windows down in San Francisco, they mean normal cars so you don't have broken windows or locks when thieves inevitably break in to your car. This advice does NOT apply to your loaded trucks.
Is meth usually sold in sacks? Is a meth sack tied to the end of a stick like a hobo bindle? Can you buy meth is smaller amounts, like 2 pouches or 4 pockets to a sack?
No word on how hard it is to find tied to the end of a stick
It's sacked up like any other loose drug
Yah, I had $3k of tools stolen from a site, I'm sure it made someone high for about a whole night.
