I'm fine. Occurred while I was at work. Did police report.

6 guns were stolen - South Omaha between 10am sat morning and 4am sun evening

Stack on safe - cheap black ten gun
Win mod 94 30-30 s#6061146
~~Marlin 981T 22lr s#91676762~~ - recovered! (2016-04-04)
Mossy 500 Persuader 12 ga pistol grip only s#t307154
~~Stoeger Coach 12ga s#639530-10~~ - recovered! (2016-04-15)
Richland Arms 10ga side by side s#50908
S&W 686 357mag revolver s#dcn7188

The S&W will be the most missed.

I'll post serial numbers later. The firearms were the only target I can tell so far.

They take the whole safe or break into it?

unfy · « **Reply #2 on:** February 02, 2014, 06:29:23 AM »

Took the safe. Wasn't bolted to wall - was basically just to keep kid out of it.

WTF?
I'll be watching the FB exchanges (in case they're that stupid)
I know this has probably been asked, but Someone you know? Someone recently in your home- service work? Cable Guy, Plumber, etc?
Awful precise theft to be random.

MUD guy a month ago while they were doing survey for gas line work up and down street. No one else. Only coworkers, a best friend, immediate neighbors, and coworkers know I have firearms. We'll and NFoA

Holy Cow!

Somebody Knew We Were Having Coffee Together Saturday Afternoon...........

Unfy: You're an NRA member. I dimly recall that as a member you have $2500 or so firearms theft insurance. If it was activated.

Guess we won't be shooting that 10gauge.

Wasn't activated. I had not sat down to do that paper work yet

Well sonofa.....

I am sorry to hear that sir, I'll keep my eyes open for them.

unfy - sorry to hear of your loss.

Anyone who is an NRA member can get $2500 worth of free firearms insurance with your membership, but you have to activate it here:

If you are an NRA member, and haven't activated this insurance before now, it might be a good time....

Unfy, Sorry this happened to you. Thanks for sharing... a good reminder to all of us that it can happen.

Ghost, thanks to you too, for the link to activate the NRA insurance. Mine is now activated.

As members here, how about we put a fund together to help out a brother?

Sorry for your loss.

Now for the butt chewing.

Stack on gun cabinet? Fail.

Not bolted down? Fail

This is not to chastise you, it is for the other 300 people on here that are in the same boat you were.

Good quality safe, in a hidden location, out of sight, not prominent , and bolted down to concrete.

Gun safe should be worth as much or more than any single good gun in the safe.

Again, sorry for your loss.

In Lincoln, anyone that wants to drop off a donation to UNFY, I will see he gets the donations. Large or small, all is welcome. A couple other locations across the state would be good, if someone else wants to help.

Anyone that wants to donate a safe, let me know, I can help with pick-up and delivery.

WOW. Stole the whole safe? And non of your neighbors saw anything?

Sorry to hear about your loss, hope you can get those back. Which reminds me to update my inventory.

Know you already hit the local pawn shops.

I'll keep an eye out for 'em.

There is a database of stolen firearms, but you need to register.

Good luck unfy.

Pawn shops are not like it is in the movies. In all the years of I owned a pawn shop, only had one stolen firearm. It was an escaped convict, in a stolen truck, that pawned the rifle, hanging in the window. Had I figured out what the guy was doing, there was a $50,000 reward for him. Most criminals are not that desperate. In a pawn shop, you know you will be found out, his plan was to be long gone, before we figured it out, which he was.

Many guns that are stolen, end up in gangs, or at the bottom of a lake.

Sorry for your loss unfy...I do hope all gets recovered.

I'm curious, was the safe in your garage or basement or interior room?
How was entry gained?
Any neighbors in the area have any surveillance cams or knowledge of comings & goings in the area?
Toting around a safe, albeit a smaller one, still is not an easy thing to hide when carrying out in the open.
With nothing else taken.....someone really had to know where you kept your stuff AND when you were going to be away.

This is a wake up call for the rest of us.

I don't want a donation drive at the moment.

I have my carry pistol.

The loss was material and not of supreme consequence at the moment.

I really appreciate the thought though.

There are more needy folks than I. They deserve it more.

unfy · « **Reply #16 on:** February 02, 2014, 10:24:12 AM »

I'm gonna try to get some sleep. I'll address a few other things after I awake.

Thanks again to those keeping an eye out.

I would think that your homeowners's insurance policy should cover at least part of that. Most will up to a certain limit, though you may be close to that point.

I hate thieves more than just about anything else...

Sorry.

UPCrawfish · « **Reply #18 on:** February 02, 2014, 10:29:32 AM »

UNFY, may we cross-post this information on some other Nebraska gun related sites to be on the look out ??

NE Bull · « **Reply #19 on:** February 02, 2014, 10:56:17 AM »

Yes, thanx Ghost- I thought I had activated mine, but couldn't find any receipts, so did it again just to be sure.

I have Renter's Insurance thru Farm Bureau and we discussed firearms directly. It is covered, and we adjust it yearly accordingly.
