The report said the Explorer's passenger and driver's side windows were broken and the fully-automatic AR-15 was taken from a lockbox that was in the vehicle's trunk. Six fully loaded magazines for the rile were also stolen, along with three loaded magazines for a Glock .45, an olive green tactical vest and the officer's IBM Thinkpad computer.
