Never thought it would happen to me..how many times have we heard that before.
On Monday, 3 guns were stolen from my house. My brother was sleeping at the time (he works nights) when he heard unfamiliar male voices. He valiantly tried to defend our property and tackled one of them. But he was outnumbered and one of them came running and tried to take a big old swing at him while he tackling the other one..also they could have been armed. He did the right thing and protected himself and they ran off with our ****. At least he's okay..
But I'll be damned if I ain't pissed right now. By brother called the cops when everything was safe and called me right after. I was at school when this happened (they must have waited for me to leave). I tore asphalt back home in 10m and cops arrived shortly thereafter. They got a description of the crooks and my serial numbers. The neighbors told PD that there was a suspicious car hanging around the street that day 30m before the burglary, but no license place.
The worst part is it wasn't just some random smash and grab: we actually know one of them! He used to be a foster kid that lived with us years ago who is now living on the streets as a runaway - so he knew exactly where to go. Not only am I missing thousands of dollars of equipment, but now I feel betrayed by someone who I cared for very much.
Besides the Xbox360 and PS3 they stole, they also got my AR15, my 1911, and a 45 carbine. Thank god the other 8 rifles I own are locked away in the safe (where my other guns should have been in the first place). Should have bought a bigger one as it was only large enough for 5 guns and there is literally no room left in there. Next time, don't buy guns unless you have enough room in your safe or metal gun cabinet. That just goes to show that you can't be too careful - I trusted that my guns would be safe in the house with an adult family member present but all it takes is seconds.
Thankfully, PD arrested the little SOB about 9 hours later. The 1911 was still on his person but the rifles were nowhere to be seen. He had a big wad of cash on him so we all know what that means.
I'm thankful I got that 1911 back, it was a Colt WWI repro so I had to jump through a bunch of hoops to get it. But I lost a $1300 NM AR15 and a $400 high point carbine for a total of $1700 lost.
I just hope they find those other guns someday and they aren't used to hurt anyone else due to my stupidity. I've read some threads on here and it seems like some people get lucky and get theirs right away or they find it 10 years later during a traffic stop and the gun comes up on the system as stolen. At least I don't leave my guns loaded in the house as a general rule. I don't know which is worse, knowing my guns are on the street or that I was betrayed by someone who I tried to help out of the kindness of my heart.

! So though he's in jail, who knows how many of his "homies" he told about us. I literally couldn't sleep that night - I stayed up the entire night, armed, sitting on the couch and watched/listened/waited. It sucked.
