Hey guys, I don't post here much but I'm trying to get the word out about a robbery that happened while I was away this weekend. All my guns in the house were stolen, hell, all my valuables period were stolen. Here is a picture of my GAP 375 WSM that I would give anything to get back. It's pretty recognizable so I figured it couldn't hurt: http://i.imgur.com/sgswWDL.jpg View Quote I'd help if you put on a Brewers hat! JK its unique and would definitely recognize it if I saw it |

Let me get this straight......you left a $5000 rifle unsecured in the flophouse you've been rooming in all through college and took off for a few days?
I don't know what your college experience has been like, I never attended college but a few of my friends have and I partied with them...a lot. The houses and apartments they had were all the same.....they probably had 2000 kids a year through them and couldn't name more than 20 of them. You would have had better luck throwing your guns under a random bush or in a culvert somewhere on the way out of town and stopping to pick them up on the way back. |

Quoted: Tell me how you'd get a security deposit back without spending it on bolting it down and then fixing everything when your lease ends or you find a different place. Safes are great. They really are. And if good ones weren't $600 plus, most, if not all of us, would have one. I'm amazed by the amount of "ZOMG SAFE" people exist on gun boards. It's almost as if myself, and those who get guns stolen, are the only ones who aren't upper middle class, with no debt, awesome 6 figure jobs, and a supermodel stay at home wife, to boot. It's almost like in the back of some peoples minds, that, if you own a gun, you should be totally financially secure. My wife is a teacher, she started late, so a good chunk of her 39K goes to her 401K. I'm a medically retired vet. I don't make shit. Even if I was in the workforce, the reality is that my "skill set" from the military doesn't translate well to the "real world". I'm kinda like a college grad. I have a shit ton of knowledge about stuff, but not enough experience to find a non-minimum wage job in the area. Add to that an 18 month old son, and spending $600+ on something to keep my guns more secure than the closet my son can't open falls under "not justifiable" at this time. Jesus, a board member lost a freaky looking gun to a fucking piece of shit. Just keep an eye open and stop harping about safes. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Was it in a SAFE? I second that. Looks like you had some expensive guns and couldn't afford a safe. I have a fort knox titan. Not the best but if you can get in, have at it. Hope you get everything back and press charges to the max.... and buy a safe. You can get a $250 RSC off Amazon and nobody is gonna get that thing is a snatch and grab if you build it up right. 1.5x3.5 on all corners, plywood, bolted down and to a rear wall in a closet. Idea is to prevent tool access and prevent people from getting the container on its back or side. Also Collectors Insurance is 80 bucks a year for about $12,000 in coverage and they don't require a safe and will cover your ammo and scopes too. Thievery is covered. Guys, you can't just leave your guns setting out on a stand, uninsured and run off to work. Especially if you have a GAP that you might have 5 thousand bucks in.

I would rate this as possibly the greatest troll thread of 2014.
|
|
|
Why the fuck would the police have any idea that you've posted any details to begin with?
|
|
sounds like OP wants this thread to end.....
It's making my earlier less likely Option 2 go up a notch. So what "pawn shop" did the gun end up at? I hope I'm wrong. And I hope this has a happy ending. Unfortunately, the vibes man, the vibes aren't good. |

I'm not supposed to say anything else at this time. I will report back when I can. lol Obviously, after his questioning by the police as to his involvement in this apparent insurance scam, his lawyer told him to shut up. |

For you cynical bastards, the police department said they monitor this site and asked I don't post any more details pending the investigation, as a lot more of my stuff is still missing.

The boy they locked up for grand theft, possession of stolen property, and burglary will have already been singing like a canary, because all of those types will do so the moment they're looking at serious time.

In before the Police Post on here telling us to cease and desist as we are interfering with an ongoing investigation.
|
|
What could you possibly post on here that would interfere with their "investigation?" Asshole Thief knows he's busted. Deal time. That doesn't take days. Your roommates and/or anyone else involved with Asshole know he's busted. Have the cops been around to interview them lately? What "investigation?"
Did YOU know the guy? Do you have an attorney? |
