Guns STOLEN (Rifles, Shotguns and Pistols)

[Jdixon]

Our house was broken into in the Washougal, WA area on 10/3/12. Several of our guns were stolen. I am posting here in hopes that someone sees them. Please let me know if you have any information.
1. Taurus Tracker .17 HMR revolver, fast fire II holographic sight. (stainless with black handle). Serial # DZ341924
2. Beretta PX4STORM sub compact 9mm semi-auto (all black). Serial # PZ11883
3. Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 38special hammerless revolver (all black). Serial # CPW0218
4. Ruger 204 rifle, Bushnell scope with adjustable objective (Stainless barrel synthetic stock) Serial # 791-97282
5. Marlin .17 HMR rifle with bull barrel (all black) Serial # MM91221A
6. Winchester model 70 featherweight 30-06, Leopold 3x9 vari x II scope. (wood stock, black barrel) This gun also had a couple of small brass pins passing through the stock.
7. Ithica 12 gauge pump action shotgun. (black barrel with wood stock)
I do not have serial numbers for the last 2 guns on my list, but they are far more important than any other items on this list. My grandfather gave me the 12 gauge pump, and my father and I purchased the 30-06 as my first rifle. Both of which I have had for many years with many memories. For those of you that have emotional attachments to items that were given to you by people you love I’m sure understand the value in memories far exceed any price an insurance agency can give.

I'm sorry to hear about this!
We have a stolen gun sticky thread that multiple people have posted their guns information in. It might be a good idea for you to post this info there as well.

This is terrible! Pretty depressing the world we live in today. Sorry to hear this.

NOT suggesting any vigilant behavior but you can watch for your guns on ARMSLIST - Gun Classifieds or Gun Classifieds | Free Local Used and New Gun Classified Listings. Pistols, Rifles, Shotguns, Ammo, Antique and Collectible Guns, and Gun Accessories. - gunlistings.org then you can call the proper authorities to get them back.

Will do, thank you for the feedback

J, so sorry about your guns, I hope you get them back! I had the same experience and I vividly remember the way the pit of my stomach felt. I truly sympathize with you! Ever since,I have posted a photo w/ serial# in a note book and the same info on a CD. The police actually recovered one! Good luck!

What is your approx location in Washougal? I used to live in the Sunset Ridge community. There is tons of robberies there monthly. I was had a bunch of out side items stolen and basically was told by the police unless you have Serial numbers or personal identification numbers put into things they are unwilling to even look. They put it down on a report for insurance and that is all.

I wish you luck - you never know, on occasion things do get returned... A guy I used to work with was contacted by Chicago PD regarding a pistol he had given to an uncle several years earlier that had been stolen - I was surprised that they contacted him and returned in to him.

going to get worse with upcoming cutbacks,even if they catch them they just get let go in court he said,

We live about 10 min east of fern prarie market, near Washougal River Rd. I am hoping that our serial numbers help the police locate our guns!

Dang - sure hope that's not actually the case.

Most often stolen guns are kept, used in a crime, or sold at gun by backs at churches cause they often don't ask the guns origin.

 

[irierider]

may i ask were they in a safe... i always wonder if real pros are going around prying open safes, or unbolting them from the ground some how and carrying them off!
either way bad luck, sory

no, unfortunately we didn't have them in our safe. we moved in not too long ago and hadn't quite gotten settled yet. Side note - the robbers did seem experienced, they took the pillow cases off of our pillows and used them to transport our stuff.
