It is very interesting how the officers are baffled by why someone would steal such huge quantities of Dust; it implies that, no matter how valuable/vital Dust is in RWBY, it is as common as AA batteries.

It also explains why Dust stores have such lousy security - who would steal an entire store's worth of bulk batteries?

Of course, we have possibility from those same cops: to arm an army on the sly.
