Now do NY state...
Okay.... Let us all settle down. This is nothing new in the County and not as big of a deal as some may think.
My gods man, it sounds like I am defending these people, I am not.
So, this number of 365 missing vehicles, it sounds big, but not really.
Out in Alden, as an example, behind the old crazy home, they is a junk yard sort of parking lot.
Old, unusable vehicles are located there. They are taken off "hand receipts" and left for dead. a few dozens when I was working. They still belong to the county but are not on paperwork. Well, they may be listed somewhere, that paperwork just needs to be found.

Apparently they haven’t heard of computers?
You may be shocked at the lack of computer use. Where I worked previously, very rarely did we use them. Easier to lose PW if needed and when needed.

That makes sense, sadly it makes sense. That means corruption is planned IMO.
Corruption??? Nah. Covering ones Arse. Nothing more and nothing less.

I agree. County auctions are chocked full of absolute trash and they only seem to have them once a year or when they cannot move anymore. Wrecked or stripped cop cars are popular as are absolutely rotten or wrecked service and general vehicles.
Most of these are probably sitting in their yards or have been disposed of and the records never updated. I bet the "missing" vehicles are all 10+ years old with little value other than scrap.

Government hiding it's actions from the public is the epitome of corruption.
Many Cities and Counties, sell used vehicles on line, too.

ok so maybe more of an accounting error in that when a vehicle is no longer viable/drivewable or its junked and a newe one is bought...they never take the old one off!! thus just adding new vehiicles to the balance sheet and never disposing of the asset properly. I can see that..........

I bet at least one of them is parked in a lawmakers garage or tooling around their woods with farm plates.
