I won't be going. It's about a 3 hr drive and I would spend the night. I'm just not comfortable (nor is my wife) leaving my family at home alone so soon after.

You know, I'm just not that bothered by it. Pissed? Hell yes. But people are assholes and I know it, so I'm just not surprised. I don't sit around thinking "It can't happen to me." I knew it could and therefore I guess my mindset is a little different. I did what I could with the money I had to prevent it. I wish I'd had an alarm system, but I didn't yet. I literally already have an appointment for next week. I secured my guns as best I could (except for being an idiot and leaving out a couple that I was taking to a class when I shouldn't have).

My wife on the otherhand? She's pretty mentally messed up. She wants to move tomorrow. I can't say I don't understand the feeling, because I do.

Thanks for the offer! I have another one at my dad's house. My kids are actually spending the night over there tonight so we can clean up before they come home. My dad took my son out shopping tonight to set him up again.

Never had my house hit, but I remember the feeling of seeing my car window busted and the stereo ripped out. I couldn't imagine coming home to something like this.

I will pray for their horrific, slow and painful deaths, fucking thieves!

so they would have seen your safe, and have a VERY good reason to suspect that it is LOADED with more guns they will likely be back soon, with backup(grinders, 3/4 ton pickup 6 guys, ec ect). get the buck shot out(might wanna put a round of turkey shot in there, need a live one to question)
.
Fing sucks dude.

What kind of neighborhood do you live, OP? I live in a good area with 200k and higher houses and it's already been hit 3 times by thieves. Not just ordinary thieves either, one of them even took a Uhaul truck pretending to be movers when they were completely cleaning out the house in broad daylight. Still haven't been caught sadly. Chances are they've already been scoping your house out for weeks before and knew when exactly you were gone.

Thieves are real pieces of shit.

Sorry you had to come home to a mess you had no hand in creating.

I could easily act like a thief would freely be "given my property' simply to not have to go through the indignity of having it all stolen from me...just before I unloaded the 12 Ga Remi on them for forcing me to believe my loss of life was imminent!

Most burglars don't want the trouble of dogs causing a ruckus. We have 2. My bro has 2 also. My other family members have 0 and their 3 homes have al been hit.

I hope you are able to pick up some tracks; a huge percentage of robberies are committed from people we know, have let into our homes or could have been seen casing the property prior to doing a B&E.

Glad your son is safe and nobody was physically harmed (that I read) from this incident.

We'll pray for you down here in the S.E. USA.

I've been there man. Damn.

You lost a lot of stuff. TV's and stuff is one thing, but going through all your stuff like that and taking guns and such......

Sorry man. Here in Albuquerque residential burglaries are way too common....

This is what I put on the sliding glass door:

It could be defeated, like anything, but the smash and grabbers may move on.

Holy shit man, that is horrible. I really hope they are dumb enough to try to sell your stuff locally and get caught. Will insurance help pay for any of the stolen guns? If not I say we get a little pool going here on ARFcom and buy this man a new AR15.

This was my first thought as well. But then remembered OP lives in Phoenix. This kind of shit happens every day. Its crews of pros who can do all that in about 15 minutes. Its their job and they are good at it. Does seem strange the one time you leave a bunch of shit out you get jacked.

No one gets that lucky. It was someone you know.

I know I am on the East Coast,but if you need anything,and I have it,it's yours.

Take Care,be well.

If I came home to that I would go mad. Literally.

Did you have extra keys lying around for the Suburban, or did they have to hot-wire it?
I always lock up my spare keys in my safe for that reason.

This was my first thought, and that OP's Suburban is soon to be featured on Blago Narco full of torsos.

Sorry, OP...I can't imagine your loss nor feelings of violation. Also sorry for you son, heartbreaking.

Very high chance it is someone you know! Sorry to hear about your lose, can't imagine how bad that would suck.

Couple suggestions though. Ditch the gun related stickers on your vehicles. Also, be as discreet as possible when bringing any gear in and out of your home, especially with rifle cases. I'm guessing they found a spare set of keys for the truck inside the house? I would get a key lock box and put it in a crazy weird location that nobody would ever think to look.

If you don't mind me asking, what's your major cross streets?

Now, going forward. Do you have a home alarm with motion sensors that was somehow defeated?

Woodchipper for each and every one. Slowly, with a bag of rock salt, a bucket of bleach, and a jug of sulfuric acid mix in for sanitation purposes.

I would feel exactly like your wife, BTW.
