Home robbery - firearms stolen
metaldoc:
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.
Gary:
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.
Lmbass14:
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.
zofoman:
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.
