Thread: Stolen Guns...

UPDATED WITH ALL SERIALS

New Update, 11 FEB 12 - x1 Firearm Recovered!

I was greeted this Christmas Day morning with a phone call from my apartment manager. While I am currently away with family in Arizona for the Holidays... my apartment in Lakewood, Washington was broken into. Most all of my firearms were stolen (they did however, leave 2 rifles behind). Current estimation is they were stolen sometime between 23-25 of December. I will be updating this list as often as I can, since I am not physically there to conduct a full inventory or to see if my records/bound books are still there. Serials will follow as soon as possible.

My condolences bro.

Did they take them out of a safe or? Im really sorry to hear this and ill keep an eye out for them.

Matt

Broke into locked pantry closet and into safe...

call the sheriff sooner than later as they will change hands quickly, and the feds need to be involved if you have serial #'s to track, if not your kinda S.O.L. Even if your outta state the police can still file a report.

Dont forget to post in the stolen guns sticky also....Stolen Gun sticky

Oh they won't leave that lovely town of Lakewood.Plenty of POS there that need these to make a living.

Sorry man .I exited that place 2 years ago and I am much happier.

I just posted on seattleguns also.

there is a 642 on Seattle guns for sale and its still there looks like ddcronk is selling and badbrad is buying

they just stole guns and nothing else?...sounds like someone knew they were there?

i was just gonna say that if they took just the guns and ammo they knew what they wanted before hand. woo i feel really bad for u thats a large collection. my advice by a big bad dog. that way next time the burglar goes missing instead of ur stuff good luck man and sorry for ur loss.

Update, 11 FEB 2012.

Hopefully the arrest will lead to more of your guns being recovered. Thieves, burn in hell!

I'm sorry to hear... It does seem like someone knew what they were looking for... That's why I refuse to leave my address on a piece of paper after conducting a sale just as a precaution.

Would you mind sharing the brand of safe that your collection was stolen from?

Of course any competent thief, given the time and circumstance, can defeat nearly any security measure...it's just that it might be useful information to other gun owners who are considering such a purchase.

klj542....My sincere condolences. You lost some nice pieces there. I hope they pressure the dweeb in Modesto as to where and from whom he bought the 9MM.

If you have any "friends" who are suspect......You know, those who haven't dropped by to remark on what a d**che the turds were who stole your guns; start a list!!

I would like to hear how they defeated your safe as well. Blowtorch? Power tools? Pry bar? Sounds like they had time to work on it undisturbed which is a worst case scenario.

The latter two methods wouldn't work against mine (too noisy and the safe can't be moved) but it makes me wonder what else the
sophisticated thieves are doing.
