Reply to There has only ever been one successful shoot-down of a F-117A stealth plane, in 1999 during the NATO bombing of former Yugoslavia, the pilot ejected safely. Since then the US pilot and Serb that shot him down have become good friends. Here's a Serbian kid standing on its wing by bulletproofxx

These vests were so easily stolen by criminals from police stations. The Dillinger gang would actually hit the police department first, stealing all the equipment they would later use to rob the towns bank, so when the police responded they had no gear to counter fully armed bank robbers. The Dillinger Gang stole so many of these vests, they were often referred too as the "dillinger vest" by the media at the time.
