Home robbery - firearms stolen

<< < (11/18) > >>

They indeed recovered one of the firearms.  Not the S&W 357mag, sadly -- but the Stoeger Coach. 

Yay!

I had gone home around 2AM Friday morning and noticed police kinda looking for stuff etc near the northbound onramp to 75/kennedy from cornhusker. I debated stopping and offering to help if they needed extra man power - but a cruiser pulled up so things seemed fine and I drove on.

Fast forward to tonight (Friday night) ... OWH news article:

Gun shot, Golden Corral, no one injured, etc.  They were doing some searching ...


--- Quote from: the article ---Officers found a shotgun and a .22-caliber rifle hidden behind a trash bin and a handgun that had been thrown into a ditch.

.... and from my initial post of this thread (emphasis added) ....

At first I was like:



But then I was like:



I'll bug either the Bellevue PD or Omaha PD over the weekend or Monday :D

Coincidentally - I may be able to pick up the Stoeger from Sarpy County in 2-3 weeks! Yay!

some edits for grammar etc

Finally got in contact with the Bellevue PD.  Nope, the firearms weren't mine :(.  Sgt Milos was friendly.

Haven't heard anything about picking up the stoeger yet. I'll bug Sarpy County again in a day or two.

Sorry to hear your hopes got let down   :(  Keep nagging!  It was good to finally meet you at the NFOA breakfast.  See you next time

Interesting post, I just purchased a safe from Nebraska Furniture Mart and trying to decide if its worth it.
Its the stack on Elite 24.  Weighs over 450 lbs. and at $800 its some security and value.  They deliver this week and I am considering cancelling it.

After watching you tube, I realize someone who really wants in and has some time with it will get into it simply with a couple crow bars.  But its not something they are going to be able to just steal.

I started looking at what a "Real safe" is and realized to get something secure in that same size Ill be in the 2500 to 5000 range.  That's a lot of guns right there.  Probably 50% of what I have invested.


I am trying to decide if a $150 gun cabinet is just as good as this safe.  But given what happened to you I think I realize they aren't going to just pick up and take a 450lb safe very easily.

Ahh the illusion of security.


Sorry to hear about your loss.  Your not at fault, you could have spent 1K on a safe like I did and have this happen anyways:
