# T052 - Van Buren Current and Disposed Camera Asset Report Contradictions Van Buren's produced asset reports are populated but internally inconsistent. The conflicts prevent the file labels from functioning as a clean present-use or disposition inventory. ## Statement A The `"currently owned"` report contains 49 populated rows and the disposed report contains 29 populated rows whose quantities total 31 ([[Van Buren Current and Disposed Digital Camera Reports]]). The pole-camera asset sheet separately gives a `"Purchase Date"` of `07/31/2023` and a Notes statement that it was purchased in `2022` ([[Van Buren CID Investigative Camera Assets]], `CID Pole Camera.pdf`, p. 1). ## Statement B Both digital-camera reports say: > `"Total # of Items = 0"` (`Digital Camera's currently owned.pdf`, p. 4; `Digital Cameras Disposed of.pdf`, p. 3). Serial `CN5AN4542S` appears on both sides of the current/disposed divide with different purchase dates, and the disposed report contains a `12/30/1899` purchase date (disposed report, p. 1). ## Why it matters Asset reports often anchor claims about present custody, lifecycle, and disposal. Here, the database output itself signals that row membership, totals, dates, and serial uniqueness cannot be treated as a clean operational inventory without reconciliation. ## Resolution status `open` - no corrected export, database dictionary, disposition record, serial-level reconciliation, or custodian explanation resolves the conflicts. ## Discovery The contradictions surfaced during the 2026-08-06 compilation of Van Buren's third and fourth rolling productions. ## Notes The tension concerns record quality and classification. It does not establish that an asset was lost, improperly disposed, or operational.
