Resigning - McHenry County Style

Could this really be true?

Is it possible that a McHenry County Sheriff's Department deputy resigned and returned his car and all his equipment by just pullling up at the Department and walking away from the car and his equipment?

Wish I'd been there with a camera to catch the magic moment.

When you turn in equipment that has been issued to you, no matter what your rank, somebody (they probably don't have a Quartermaster) should be there with a clipboard and an inventory list and start checking off what is being returned.

Then there would be that empty column for equipment issued, but not returned.

If you just dump it in front of the Department, then you can claim that you returned it, but what's missing must have disappeared after you left it.
