Employee pilferage? Just out of curiosity, I checked out three M&H As while
I was tuning practice rooms. I was wondering if the difference in the
numbers was converging, diverging, random, or some fiendishly clever
clue... etc. Here's what I got.

plate, case, difference
26601, 27135, 534
28130, 28418, 288
28691, 28997, 306
39119, 39255, 136 

Weirdness.
