I got robbed. Gun stolen.

[sylvest]

Someone broke into my apartment on Brightside View in Baton Rouge last night. I was at a wedding rehearsal dinner for a friends wedding when my roommate called and told me someone broke in. They kicked the door in, split the casing, door frame, sheared the lock on the doorknob, and split the door itself . The stole my laptop and my roommates laptop. My pistol was also stolen out of my room. Please keep an eye out as it is not a common weapon to find. The gun is an Interarms Star Model 30. 9mm. Serial number 1839237. The gun is all black and had an extra 15rd silver mag for it that was also stolen. The gun was loaded with Winchester Rangers. The gun is a spanish military and police pistol. These are some sample pictures.

That was probably someone that knew you or heard about you.

I'm sorry it happened, I hope the weapon is found with all of its ammo.

ouch, that sucks. Glad you are a responsible gun owner who knows his weapons serial #'s, much better chance of locating it that way. I'm betting it turns up either at a pawn shop or down in Gardere somewhere.

i thought that. but i dont think its someone i know, i think its someone that knows someone i know. whoever it was knew no one was home and went in then. i dont know how they knew about me.

I don't know where your gun was, but no one kicks in a door & takes their time while they are there.

I sent a link to this post to one of my friends who owns a pawn shop.

I've been there, too. But I did have some of my firearms recovered. It took a while but one was recovered at a pawn shop and my AR was found during a routine traffic stop, 30 round clip ready to go.

I do hope you're able to get your weapon and laptops back.

 

[sylvest]

thanks man. i had it in the headboard on my bed where i could get to it easily. i think the thief saw my empty gun case in my closet and then started looking for a gun.

Andrew?
damn that sucks....

 

[CajunTim]

That sucks.

Would we expect him to go through your favorites and find this website?

Maybe a post on the homepage reporting the stolen firearm in case he happens to visit the site plus it makes everyone aware of the stolen firearm?

I'm glad I thought of that.

sounds good to me. the laptop is password protected and was in hibernate mode so when whoever wakes it up they will have to know the password to unlock it. unless they reformat the whole harddrive the comp is useless. the bad thing is the laptop was less than a year old and all my school work is on it.

yes nick, im andrew. who are you

that pw is easy to hack.. for the most i can by pass there pw with the push of 1 button and the click of a mouse, delete their user account pw and log into the system normally.

as far as reformating there is a few programs on the net that can read old data in the disk clusters. if you have hdd to destroy take them on a fishing trip in the gulf, or smelt them at a foundry.

I read somewhere that with newer laptops there was a way for the factory to track it down by the mac address on the wireless card... All you needed was the serial number. I could be wrong though.

As far as getting rid of hard drives, I'd be a .308 would do it...

 

[CajunTim]

What about magnets to destroy the memory?

 

[jphilp87]

Stealing a man's gun is about like slapping his wife... only a fool!

Best of luck with finding the gun! And the fool!

Don't want to hijack, but, my cousin in the Bureau told me of how his team was able to put an AQ money laundering cell in Dallas away to GITMO by taking the splintered shards of a HDD and reading the data on them. Some were barely 1/4" in size!

 

[sylvest]

does anyone have any ideas on where to look for my gun?

 

[CajunTim]

My buddies house was robbed a few years back in Florida and they took his Ruger 9mm. About 6 months later the local police department raided a local drug house and found it in the house with a bunch of gang bangers. By this time he had moved to Kentucky I don't know if he has ever gone back to claim it. I know there was something like the insurance department had already paid for it in his claim so there was some hoopla he was going to have to do to claim it.

 

[dantheman]

I know it's too late now , but get yourself some insurance . NRA has some reasonably priced firearms insurance .

 

[sylvest]

i have insurance....i just want that gun back
