X-WR-CALDESC:3 February 1945: Truck lost (stolen) at Colmar\, France\, cont
 aining three safes with a SIGABA\, rotors\, and keylists\, causing a theat
 er-wide search. The SIGABA machine was a vital part of a worldwide combine
 d (US/UK) communications system\, and should it fall into enemy hands\, th
 e results could be devastating. At the time\, it was the only highly secur
 e U.S. cipher system available to U.S. units in Europe. \n\nAfter a great 
 amount of concern\, precautionary measures\, and an extensive search\, the
  stolen truck and its contents were found in March 1945. The SIGABA and cr
 yptographic materials were recovered intact as they had been locked inside
  of safes that had not been opened and were dumped into rivers and streams
 . As it turned out\, the investigation concluded that the truck was stolen
  for the value of the truck itself and the thieves were unaware that the t
 ruck contained highly sensitive cryptographic equipment. \n\nRead the NSA
