Aguila ammunition is one of them. This Hyjack of ammo was 98.5% 22 Rimfire ammo.

Next will be lumber ... at 400x it's cost from a year ago, it's getting to be like ammo and reloading supplies.

Local goons are stealing lumber from construction sites here in CO --- just like when gas was up to $4.50/ gal years ago and they were stealing that

Aguila rimfire is very good ammo. I shot Aguila 12ga. Last dove season with great performance. The hijackers got some value. Will be looking for some cheap Aguila here in Az.

Lumber, copper, tools all being stolen from construction sites. If I was building house, cell cameras would be in place for sure. That is until they got stolen!

Mexican black market for ammo might be cheaper than some of the "Banditos" on Gunbroker.

This is more than likely true, but being caught at the border with just one .22 cartridge will get you five years in a Mexican prison.
