ETA: My student gave me the wrong info on the second gun. It is a P239 chambered in 9mm, not a P232. Please note the correction. ********************************************************************** One of my students that lives in the Lakes area was burglarized today (02February07) in broad daylight. Amongst other things that were stolen including his car (he got the car back already) were two Sig handguns. Here are the descriptions: 1. Sig P229, Blue .40 cal. with night sights. Serial# AM29720. 2. Sig P239, Blue 9mm with night sights. Serial# SA105582. Please BOLO. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Joe |

FYI Most stolen guns (here) are NOT pawned, sold, etc. They are recovered by chance during searches, seizures, etc. Most likely he'll have to wait until it turns up in a crime or supported type situation. Even worse; Notification comes quick once found, but it is usually months from the time it is found by LE before it is returned.  Damn shame. V OUT |
I agree with you totally.................my safe lock broke with the safe open last week. If my son wasn't home I didn't leave and I slept with my AR 15 that night.  Hell I have slept with worse.Off the subject but Las Vegas Kife and Safe were right on the ball to get it fixed, it was 2 days because one was Sunday. |
The guns were locked in an approved gun locker and bolted with four lag bolts to a shelf in the closet. They couldn't get the gun locker broken loose, so they just went in his garage and got some tools and broke it open. My student says that the gun locker was "California Approved" for safe storage for children and burglaries. I guess the product didn't live up to the manufacturers claims. Anyway, he's going to call Don Trimmer on Monday to purchase a large gun safe. |
Jesus Christ! These boys were determined, or like they said, an inside job. My safe is huge and weighs a shit load, but is bolted to concrete. I've heard of thieves using a bucket of golf balls to roll out a heavy safe. Resourceful, resourceful... |
It took 4 years from the time it was recovered to get my wifes 226 back. I didnt even ask why, I was just happy to have it back. |
Excellent example |

One thing that might (again might) have prevented this was I noticed the guns were stolen from a gun "LOCKER", not a safe. If I'm not mistaken even the cheapie $70 gun locker sold at wal-mart is Kalifornia approved, and that is just some chinsy sheet metal. I hope they get the guns back and I feel bad for anyone that gets robbed, not their fault but I think this is a good example of how the best position to be in (in the event of a burglary) is to have your stuff in a safe. Also, I think it's a fallacy that folks believe that they're safer from property crimes in the more upscale areas of the valley. If you're a crook you're going to rob the places with lots of valuables. |
