Wow that's a big loss man
Very sorry to hear that
what happened?

[45DAVID1]

What was all this stored in?

[BenjaminCA]

Wow, lots of nice weapons hitting the streets. Sorry man, I will have to keep my eyes peeled. What did the Law say when you reported the loss? Do you have any type of insurance, renters, home etc..? Any prints or anything left behind by the perps? How did they get your guns?

[BroncoBob]

That is a total sucking. However I question where the guns in a safe?

[kmk]

done in broad daylight ,.,the window to a back door was broken .,.,dog was most likely kicked to the outside judging by the vomit on the floor.,.,.a locked interior door was kicked in .,.,.,collection had grown too large to stay in the homak safe which would have easily been detatched from the wall and carried away.,.,they were not in the safe.,.,.,took police 1.5 hours to respond.,.,told me its investigation took a backseat behind all the murders in oakland..,.,

[BroncoBob]

It appears that someone knew you had the guns.

[Gator Monroe]

Never load your guns or gun cases into vehicle outside your house (Load them inside your closed garage) and be aware when loading & unloading your vehicle of people looking at you from nearby or at a distance...

i have collected for 18 years and have never had 1 problem..,i did have 1 ar15 built and hidden deep in my home.,.,wish the cops had more of a sense of urgancy.,.,.,they may be running into the guy wearing a vest and an m4 on the street.,.,.,i felt like they were investigating a stolen vcr

[The SoCal Gunner]

Sorry to hear.

A reminder of why gun owners really need to consider putting off the next gun purchase for a decent sized, heavy safe if you don't have one yet. Even the China made Sentry safes at Home Depot will do a good job at preventing the common thief.

We're talking about $300-400 for decent protection. Gun cabinets just won't do.

[Jonathan Doe]

Sorry to hear about your loss. That is my nightmare. Maybe you should post serial numbers just in case the Calguns members come across one of them.

[kmk]

dont forget cameras.,.,.a couple cheap ones with wifi.,.,slingbox and a way to remotely record.,.,.,thats all cheap too

[technique]

wow sorry for your loss.

ETA. sorry about your dog getting kicked too. thats the worst.

[hawk1]

I feel for your loss, but come on. 18 years and you never got around to buying a real safe? In Oakland no less...

I hope you re-think that Homak safe as you re-collect what was stolen from you.

Very true
Its tough to get around but the piece of mind you will get even out of just a basic non fire rated safe bolted to the wall and or floor will be worth it
