Investigating the shipping manifests from Orion's Burbank facility right before the 1989 shutdown.

Three days before the September 9, 1989 fire at Orion Tower, an unmarked flatbed truck arrived at 03:00 and loaded all three unopened pallets back up.
The pallets had lead tamper-evident seals stamped with the seal of the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Telecommunications.

Whenever someone asks the former warehouse supervisor about those crates, he tells them to drop it if they value their pension.

They removed the hardware right before the fire was set. The fire was an insurance write-off and evidence disposal.

Top-posters will be placed in my ~/.killfile without notice.

Every warehouse has 'Special Projects' pallets. Usually it's high-value promotional giveaways or point-of-sale displays that managers don't want stolen.
