Thanks for the info that’s will give any of our members in that area a bolo.

This is why I don't store guns in my car... I carry a gun on me... I don't need an arsenal in my car out of fear for something that will likely never happen. Carrying a firearm on me is easy, just click it on my belt and go... and I do that knowing that statistically, I will likely never need it... But it costs me nothing to carry it.

A car is simply too insecure to store a gun, or multiple guns. It's a painful lesson to learn, I hate it for ya.

FWIW I had my car broken into a a pistol stolen. I beat myself up too. But about 9 months later a detective in Birmingham called me and told me I could come get it - they picked it up at a sobriety check from someone claiming to buy it at a flea market.

If you read through it you’ll see I don’t usually have the guns. I DO NOT actually keep them in the car. I said the previous comment in jest. It was after a planned day at the range. And I stupidly made a stop instead of bringing them home as I should have. I left an easy target, and it just so happened predators saw the prey. But I do agree with you, holeheartedly. I normally carry one on me and that is all.

Greetings fellow members.
After a range day yesterday I went to dinner. After coming out, I discovered 3 males peering into my vehicle window with flashlights. A few shouted expletives later, they were gone and speeding down the wrong end of a one way street. As I got back to my vehicle I discovered a broken rear window and three missing firearms...

I’m not looking for advice on the many things I could have or should have done, as I’ve replayed the scenario a thousand times in my head. And it’s obvious I should not have left such an easy target for predators. That’s on me.

I also know the odds of them ever turning up, especially on here.

However I would like for fellow ODT members to keep an eye out for these items:

1. Yugo N-PAP M70 Ak47
With Magpul Zhukov stock/wood forend.
Had a Texas Weapon Systems Dogleg rail with a Holosun 503G ACSS red dot on it.
Serial #N-PAP027129

2. Grand Power Stribog SP9A1 Gen2
With Safety Harbor collapsible Tailhook brace. Vortex Venom and Olight Worrior Mini were mounted.
Serial #K074475

3. AR15 Build. All black 12.5in BCM upper with QRF Quad rail. FDE BCM BCG and FDE Olight Odin Mini mounted.
Lower was a Savage arms with a SBA3 brace and a Franklen Armory BFSIII Binary trigger.
Serial #RAS47080327

Dang man, that's horrible. I'll definitely keep an eye out and ears open. Not many people have Stribogs so that'll most likely be the best way to track the thieves.

What area were you in when it happened?

I had one turn up seven years after the fact.

Friend of mine got a phone call from the NYPD 4 years after his was stolen. Letting him know that they had recovered his firearm and were destroying it.

Well, that was certainly considerate of them. I had one stolen in 1988 in Greenville, SC. I just assume it finally found a home in a cop's collections since I've never heard boo about it.

I just love our system, don’t you?

A few years back I got a call from Athens Police Department. They had an SKS that I had bought, with paper work, at a gun show about 10 years ago. It had sat in my collection a few years then I gave it to my brother in law and he turned around and sold it to someone who had it stolen. They had it because a murder case had just wrapped up and this rifle had been used in a drive by shooting. They said since I was the last owner of record that I could have it back. I asked them to destroy it and they said they would. If I had taken it back I would have taken the saws all to it and made it in to junk pieces. I have no heartburn with a gun that does its job to gather food or punch holes in targets, but when one is used to take the life of an innocent then I no longer want it around.
