I'm 99% sure the dealership stole my G17.

Took the jeep in today for its first ever service.
They have me come from the waiting room to get the wheel lock out of the center console, because it's locked.

I say thanks because it's under my pistol. They show me to the shop, the lead mechanic is super nice and cool with me. His helper won't look at me.

They give me back my key, I open it, and no glock. I say out loud, "what the ****?"

But I push on because I can't remember if I left it at home. I had thought about doing that because I was going to the dealer.

Come home, check the locked up storage area, it's not there.

There is only one other place it COULD be and that's locked up at my office. I don't recall doing that, but I am human so I am going to check there before I go back to the dealer.

I have to go back anyways because they only did a 4 tire rotation and they have to fix it.

So question time. If it's not at my office, which I doubt it is, I intend to alert the manager and call the police to file a report. Press charges if I can but I doubt it.

Am I out of line?

If, you don't have it file a report and report it stolen. Insurance companies will ask that question if you filed a police report.
 
OP is a good dude - didn't read the whole thread but I really hope he gets his gun back. If not, at least it's a hard lesson learned.

Just food for thought: For every one case I hear of a guy who's backup-to-CCW 'truck gun' saved the day, I hear at least 100 stories of where said gun was stolen from the vehicle. Again, just something to keep in mind.
 
I once had a gun "go missing" for weeks. I figured it was either stolen or I literally left it somewhere-- just sitting at the range or on the back of a toilet at a men's room or something.
After 2 weeks, I reported it "missing" to the local cops. Not "stolen" but simply missing.
They'd never had a report of a "missing" gun either. They weren't sure how to process that information.

3 weeks after the gun was last used, at a shooting range, I found it. In my school bookbag. In a side pocket behind a Ti-82 scientific calculator. I had checked my normal range bag, of course. Dumped it out on the floor and went through every pocket and pouch on it.
But I forgot that for this range trip, I needed two bags so I took my college stuff out of the book backpack and used it for a supplemental range bag.
And even though I had been using the bag, daily, for school, I had not gone into that one zippered pocket on the side.

So I had to call the P.D. back and amend my earlier report. Yeah, that was rather embarrassing.
