Yes he is absolutely sick over it . The bad thing is he rarely if ever leaves his gun in his car overnight, so these thieves got really lucky. And you are probably right they probably have no idea what they have and will sell it off for 200 bucks!! I think thieves are about the lowest form of life ...It's hard to swallow a theft of any kind but I would own a High Point or some other cheaper brand of gun in my vehicle. Just shoot it a lot to make sure it a good reliable handgun. I can't imagine having one of prize 1911's getting stolen. The odds are the douch bag wouldn't even know what he had and sell it for 200 bucks. That's one thing that really sticks in my craw is some " A Hole " stealing stuff. That makes me so mad I could crap rail road spikes. I have been hit three or four times and they got computers, I-pads, Kendals and other valuable articles. I was hard headed and it took me a while to start taking everything of value out of the car when I park at home. Hell I even had a Mini Van stolen right out my driveway on a Saturday night. Got up to go to church and no Van. One the good side of that story is I had ran that ***** slap out of gas before I had parked it that evening. They got about 7 miles and it ran out. The police found it two days later parked in a super market parking lot. SOB's didn't get very far. LOL It cost 1,000 dollars to replace the steering column. Of course the insurance covered it but I had a 200 dollar comprehensive deductible so that pissed me off. Other than the steering column it was in the same condition it left in.
We had a rash of theft in our old neighborhood and the police suspected it was kids in the neighborhood behind ours sneaking over through the woods and hitting cars. These days you can never be to careful. Sorry for the rant but I as angry about it as he is believe me. Can't stomach it at all.
