collection stolen in east bay

[TRICKSTER]

a $2000 600lb safe will not stop an intruder trying to break in. The would still probably have broken the back door, still kicked his dogs to the side, saw the big safe, probably left it alone then continue to take the TV and computer stuff instead. He might still have the collections, but the BG is walking away with other valuable items, such as a computer or laptop loaded with photos and contact info of your loved ones. I think most of us would work another two or three jobs in order to regain the collections, but it's feeling of someone invaded your home that will not go away for a long long time.

Yes, they would still take the TV and computer stuff. The difference is that no one is going to rob or kill someone with a TV or computer stuff.

Seriously, you should shut the **** up with that nonsense.

LMFAO

My bold.

In my house, the items I would be least concerned getting stolen are the items you have named; large screen TVs, jewelry, computers, cash, etc. The firearms should be the items we gun owners have to be concerned about. Why? Because, IMHO, we have a certain responsibility to society to try and make sure our guns do not fall into the wrong hands, whether it's the govt. or criminals. In my house, my safe is not merely to prevent my young son from access; it's to prevent them from getting stolen. And it's the criminals that essentially create the whole mess of bad PR regarding firearms and the general public. Bad guys usually do not buy guns, they get them from us.

So to the OP; sorry about your loss, but man, you got to get a safe and more importantly, use it.

I agree it's our responsibility to keep our firearms away from the wrong hands, but what happened to the local PD's responsibility to ensure my neighborhood is safe? and what about the missing and stolen weapons/ammos from our military every year? what happened to the govt's responsibility to society?

btw, sorry to say this, but in real life, organized crimes get their weapon supply from much better sources.

there is a small police substation located 4 houses down from me.,.,dog was pretty depressed looking for 2 days.,., doesnt seem to have any med problems, acting ok now.,.,thanks for everyones concerns.,.,i hope this is a lesson for the SCORES of gunowners out there without a safe.,.,.,get one..,i will never own a collection as large as that again.,.,way too inviting.,.,un neccesary.,.,i honestly felt that way for years.,.,i do think a lot of the atttitudes here are along the lines of calling the woman that gets raped a slut, she never should have worn that dress!.,.,or the victim of auto theft at fault for not having an alarm and lowjack.,.,

Also, I would put off buying guns for quite some time. Now that you've just had a whole stash of guns stolen from you, I don't even think you re gonna be able to buy guns anymore. The DOJ is gonna know that you lost a whole stash of guns and they are out on the streets. You will NOT pass DROS on any firearm purchase, possibly for the rest of your life, I am sorry to say that, but the DOJ and ATF is not gonna take this lightly like the stupid Sheriffs. I hope they dusted for prints, you didn't mention if they did or not.

Are you serious? DO you actually believe what you took the time to type here? You do realize there is a "Preview Post" button for a reason. You my friend, need to get educated before you buy a gun, this is a perfect reason why the gun culture suffers so many problems, people always giving out the,
WRONG INFORMATION

Every time I read one of these threads I shake my head and wonder how many of these threads it will take for people to realize they need a damned safe.

The other thing that happens when I read these threads is I get an urge to drill additional holes in the bottom of my safe and into my concrete slab so it has even more anchor points than it already does. I think to myself "yeah, I have a big safe, yeah, it is anchored to the slab and in a difficult to access place in the garage, but maybe I should anchor it with two more concrete anchors than it already has." It would be a nightmare to lose what is in there........

Oh, and to Wild Squid YOU FAIL!!!

I used your post above and played "fill in the blank" in a few spots (underlined).
Also, I would put off posting for quite some time. Now that you've just had a whole stash of fail unleashed by you, I don't even think you are gonna be able to post anymore. The CalGuns community is gonna know about your stash of fail and that it is out on the forum. You will NOT pass the credibility test on any future posts, possibly for the rest of your life. I am sorry to say, but the CalGuns community and public at large is not gonna take this lightly like the stupid Sheriffs who dusted for evidence of fail, you didn't mention if they did or not.

I tried.

Are you kidding me? Should the government post someone at your door 24/7?

My dad got a small safe for his handguns a few years ago. Before he got around to bolting it to something, our house was robbed and it was carried away. Talk about failing ....


yea i just wanted to say something, there was too much for me to read and post something more relevant.

I just wanted to jump on the bandwagon no hard feelings. I'm a noob and maybe jumping on with the other guys will build me some street cred
