OK first to clarify, no he wans't held up and there was no sighns of forced entry to his home due to the fact that his house has a revolving door to his step kids and their adult children, and I hate to say it but alot of their friends look like people I have seen on the local Post Office wall of fame if you know what I mean.
So we suspect it was an inside job. And after hearing my dad complain about the local PD for years we were both supprised to hear that they (the police dept)were actually going to try to investigate it rather than just take a report. , as it turns out, three people who have been known to be in my dads house are on parole! so the PD is going to search their houses . Well at least they say they are.
My dad said he heard (through a PD friend) that the PD capt told his officers we owe this to him and we need to try to get his stuff back since he knew my dad had been the area's CHP captain for years and had allways had a very good working relationship with all of the local LE agencies.,
Well we'll see what happens, but in the mean time I need to get him a gun.
oh and he allready has two 4" 38's that are now in my gun safe and he says their too big to cary, he wheres a manly fanny pack( well he says its manly) and he carries the gun in that so he wants something very light.
Like I said he does have two 38's, one a stainless CHP issued model 67 (CHP stamped)and a blued" S&W model 10-5? and he says he might trade or sale the model 10 to help replace his compact. I will place a post with a photo to see if its worth any thing??
and heres a picture of the CHP one just for fun.
And yes, he should have known better, and now he does.
