This is an old tale from the Constable Savage files. We did a Category A prisoner escort from Milton Keynes HMP Woodhill to Birmingham Crown Court. During this we were in three "full dress" traffic Vauxhall Omegas escorting the prison wagon. Anyway we delivered the prisoner to the court shaken but not stirred and went for brekkie at the big Brummie post office distribution centre. Because we had traffic cars and not ARVs there was no facility to lock the Glock 17s and MP5s away. This breakfast stop was a regular occurrence for our teams on this run. We went up in the lift to the dining room and got our "tray bender" breakfasts. We sat in there with the staff and ate up. We subsequently went down to the police cars parked out the front and got ready to leave when my sergeant said "Fuck! Where is my fucking H&K?". Suddenly the blood drained from his face "I've left it on the floor by the table!" and he ran to retrieve it. Thankfully it was all intact and no one need ever know about that.
