The federal government lost $1.9 million last year in pilfered property, including vehicles, laptops, smart phones, cameras, furniture and even several dozen military weapons.
Another $8.6 million worth of government property - including almost 2,700 weapons - was lost, damaged or destroyed accidentally.
The lengthy list of lost, stolen, damaged or misplaced articles is contained in the federal public accounts for the fiscal year 2011-12, released Tuesday.
Computer equipment and BlackBerrys were the items most commonly reported stolen or lost across all government departments, raising questions about the security of the information they contained.
But the most eyebrow-raising property losses were cited by National Defence, which reported the theft of 56 weapons and accessories, plus 491 items of unidentified "military-specific equipment."
