The range employee took cash for the "rental" rather than plastic. He had taken possession of the renter's DL since it looked like her.

The ID belonged to the thief's sister, who had died in a fire in December 2022.

Pretty stupid. Stealing a Machinegun is a good way to end up in prison.

Yeah... that one is going to sting a little bit. She is going to have a whole new ID made up of numbers. I will never get people who do dumb things like this. Do they think they won't get caught or are they just too darned stupid to care about spending several years rotting away in prison? Especially a fully auto machine gun! That is just not one of those things they are going to sit back and simply "let it go".

I'll use my dead sister's ID. That way they can't track it back to me!

If you or I did it absolutely. When degenerates steal/possess machine guns they get a plea deal for a misdemeanor. Look at all the Glock switches confiscated that never get charged for, but if someone has a 15.99 inch rifle, they're toast. I'm local to this range, and this was a transferrable machine gun worth on the low end $35,000. I would bet money Bexar County won't even charge her with felony theft.

Perhaps, but with a federal charge she could be looking at 5 years... which is as much as what one of Whitey Bulger's hitmen got.

Just curious… Do MP5s have "fluted" chambers that mark spent brass like the HK fighting rifles do?

Have they caught and arrested this woman yet? Have they retrieved the weapon?

They have arrested her.
The firearm's location is unknown. My take is that she sold it to some gangbanger right away.

That is just perfect! We may get to read about some crazy thug reigning hell on a group of people because of it.
