I hope you get your guns back. I wonder if the people who stole your guns have been following you around ? Maybe they watch and waited till the right time to break in .

Man that sucks, I'm sorry to hear it.
I don't even let the neighbors see me carry the guns to the car. Good luck getting everything back. |

DVDTracker I feel for you.
I know you feel like shit but I hope you learn from this and maybe get an alarm system or turn the one you have on. I have an extra horn and strobe lights directly above my gun safe to scare off any thieves. I know alarms are not fool proof protection but most criminals are grab and run types so the lights and sound will scare them off, hopefully. I know most people are proud of their gun collection and want to show them off but sometimes it is best to keep it a secret on the exact number, type and location of your guns to only your most trusted friends and then only tell them half the story. Security is not convenient. |

Sorry DVD, that SUCKS!!!! You have my deepest sympathy.
We had crap like that going on in our neighborhood. Someone was stealing garage door opener codes and breaking in and stealing stuff. Neighbor lost a couple grand in tools. If you haven't upgraded your garage door opener, I reccommend it. We did ours about a couple months before this crap started happening. I make sure to always keep the safe locked, even during the day. When that crap started happening is when my (formerly) anti gun wife wanted me to start keeping one inside. They finally caught the shitbag. He was running a meth lab out of his parents house a couple blocks over. His kid was a twelve-year-old shit that would pick on my neighbor's kid. Like they say, there are people in this world who just need shot. I can't believe there are people in this world who think you shouldn't shoot people for property crimes (are you listening you British bastards). As you probably feel now DVD, they took part of your life. There was a lot of work and time involved in your hobby, and when they took your stuff they took part of your life. It is one of the worst feelings in the world. I feel for you, man. At least this guy will end up in the lowest pit of hell. I truly believe, what goes around, comes around. Just wish you had the pleasure of shooting him yourself. [:(] |

Last year I had a burglary in my home,They took alot of ammo and gun accessories but they weren't able to get in to the gun safe(it was locked),so thats the only good thing that came out of it all! I keep my gun safe in my closet along with alot of my mags and ammo. After the police and crime lab left I couldnt sleep im my room for a week after what had happened,I just felt violated.
I pray they recover your guns! |

oh, man, that sucks! I hope they recover your guns before they get used in a crime somewhere, thus tying them up in an evidence locker somewhere for some archeaologist to find. It's probably some neighborhood sh*tbag.

SHIT! Im sorry man. I am glad you had your numbers though. You would not belive the people who don't. Can I suggest in about a week you call the officer/agency who worked the burglary, and ask if the firearms were entered NCIC? Im sure they will, but a follow up never hurts.

I'm glad they didn't come into your house. That would have been a life-changing decision. Good luck! |

A couple weeks back we had some guys in the area decide to hit a bunch of houses in the "rich" part of town.
Almost all of them hit unlocked garages, cars, etc. I'm sorry to hear of your happenstance, sir, but do not be too hard on yourself, as you are not the only person who has "left themselvves open" so to speak. |

Sorry man that stinks.
Technically you were burgled. Also I would checke the garage door code. If you have an older, non digital "rollingtype code" system it is entirely possible that the code is still set to what it was when built. All new garage door openers are set the same. Most people don't change the code. All a theif has to do is buy an opeener and drive up and down the street pressing the opener. About 10-25% of the garage doors will open. Then they wait and see if anyone recloses the doors. After a little bit they drive back through and look into the open doors to see if there is anything worth taking visible. |

Man I’m sorry to here about this… that sucks that you can’t replace the AR15. Well at least they will let you replace more than on pistol if it were stolen, wouldn’t have to wait 30 days per pistol.
I hope they catch the guy and get your AR15 back. - Sulaco |

Oh wow, that hurts. Before they banned realistic toy gun sales here in Cali, I bought a few of the fake ones, plus a few expired cameras that I "hide" in the around the house in case so not so savory people break into my place. Most of the time, if some crooks break-into a house, they want to grab the obvious and split real quick so that they won't caught. The fake guns weigh, look and function like a real gun, except when you pull the trigger it doesn't go BANG! Of course the cameras don't take pictures either, but you can't tell until you develop a roll of film, and I don't think the bad guys are going to go thru that much trouble.
When I clean my guns, people & neighbors can't see me. And all of my guns are in cases, so that some actually did see me carry something to the car, they don't know what is inside. Also if you have children caution them not to blab it out to their friends, because a friend of a friend.... |

Sorry to hear about that DVD. That really bites since you can't replace the AR. Hopefully the thiefs will get caught but I wouldn't hold out much hope. Might not be a bad idea to post the serial numbers so those of us in the northern CA area can keep a look out for them.

Sorry to hear the bad news DVD. I usually keep my guns locked up in a safe in my house in a locked room. Then one day, for some stupid reason, not only did I leave the gun safe door open, but the room was unlocked also.
Lucky for me, I have no kids that could of gotten to those guns. I only can stress that you can't be too safe, secure and responsible with firearms. [b]ArmaLiter[/b] |

Bad news. You use to clean your guns in the garage with the door open right? If you have any idea which neighbors know you have guns, that might be the place to start. At least you can replace most of them. Get an M1A and a FAL to make up for the AR. It will make you feel better.

Sorry to hear about that. I hope they catch the worthless bag of pus that took them.
My ex and I came home on Christmas Eve one year to find the apartment completely trashed. Some maggot broke in and really messed the place up before getting away with a bunch of cash (I [b]told[/b] her not to keep that much on hand) and some jewelry. I got lucky in that all my guns were stored at my parents place. Sure makes ya feel sick inside....... |

Sorry to hear about your loss.
About three years ago my place was broken into twice in 10 days time. They took all of my guns (about 5K worth), ammo, laptop, electronics, etc. Fortunately I had a good home insurance policy and everything was replaced. I have since bought a nice safe and have a home security system. Hopefully some if not all of your stuff is found. Don't get your hopes up too high though. |

Hey DVD, sorry to hear it. This really pisses me off, not so much that the guns were stolen as because of some lame ass Californistan law that won't let you even replace what was stolen. I need to cut another check to the NRA and send Ashcroft a thank you note. I sure hope you get your stuff back.

I know what you are going through. First thing to do is to make several copies the gun pics along with ser#, distinguishing characteristics, and contact info (case #, pd phone #, etc). Hand these out at all of the local gun stores, pawn shops and shooting ranges. People there usually are very understanding and will keep an eye out if the crooks try to sell your stuff there.
Another thing is to watch for your guns or other identifiable accessories being sold at the next gun show. Sometimes it takes a while for your guns to show up again. I know a guy whose family's pawn shop got burgled. 2 years later they got one of the stolen desert eagles back when it was confiscated by the cops from a kid who got busted for a concealed weapons violation. |
