class 3 dealer looses large amount of weapons and ammo
DenmanShooter:
1 of 2 things here.
1.) Somebody knew his routine and staked it out.
2.) Inside job.
My 2 cents.

How many knew that on THAT evening he'd be leaving a trailer with so many goodies outside? A fortuitous drive-by robbery? I don't think so. I vote inside, or he sunk his canoe.

im having trouble thinking the guy stole his own guns. For what - to sell them on the black market? Send overseas? Gangbangers?
Im wondering how difficult it must be to get insurance to guarantee against theft of firearms, and if you do, is the company going to write a check when you had removed them from a secure building / safe and put them inside a moveable trailer? Thus, Im wondering if the financial motive for stealing your own stuff to collect insurance is really a possibility. Without that, where it the motive?
If you have finally achieved the necessary license to sell Class 3 stuff, are you willing to risk a felony and lose your livelihood just to have a few guns that you have no option other than selling illegally to reap the benefits of your master plan?
Im not sure that makes sense.
Scenario I see. Bad guy drives by gun store. Bad guy sees trailer backed up to back door. Bad guy sees employees carrying stuff into trailer. Bad guy comes back and steals trailer.

I'm not. The closer this country gets to collapse the more likely it is that some folks will increase their weapons caches to avoid confiscation when,not if, the Feds come by to take them. In a SHTF scenario the first place the Feds will hit are the stores and individuals with class III licenses and stores of automatic weapons and ammo. He will be at or near the top of the list. The feds can't steal what isn't there and the individual must have a valid reason for the weapons being gone. "I'd like to report some stolen weapons!" How did the thieves silently get into the trailer? It appears they had a key. Even if they were actually stolen by a person or persons unknown, there is little doubt that the Feds will sort him out with a fine tooth comb, going back for years into his personal and financial records. If he so much as misplaced a comma in one of his records he'll be charged with something, if for no other reason than to be made an example.
