It takes some balls to break into a cop car.
However that cop is an idiot for leaving a firearm in a vehicle, regardless whether the firearm was locked in some sort of bracket.
Is this that same type of gun mount (bracket) that is in the front section of the cruiser? If it is then this officer gets extra stupid point for leaving it in plain sight.
He probably parted it out and reported it stolen. The parts alone are worth a mint these days.
this just popped-up on my "flash alert"

They aren't transferrable to us peons. They get super duper excemption powers from the NFA since they are LE. Thats why they can get truck loads of M16A1s for $25 a pop from the national guard that wants to upgrade to M16A2s.

On a side note - I recall about 15 years ago LAPD went on a foot chase after a guy - he hopped the fence on one side of a house ran around back and hopped back over, jumped in the cop car and took off. Several months later the car was finally located. The guy parked it in another LAPD precinct lot. The only reason they did find it so soon was since it wasn't on that precinct's inventory sheet it didn't get the normal maintenance routine and had accumulated a heavy layer of dust on it.
Funny the direction this thread has taken. I haven't seen one person say "I hope they find it" or blame the thief who stole it instead of the cop. The general consensus is that the cop was a dumb *** who should have been more responsible with his firearm. I just wonder if people would have a different attitude if our political climate was a little different at the moment.
