My parent's house was robbed today (Walker) - UPDATE on page 3

[JBP55]

When I used to live up in MD if any firearms were stolen the police would take down the serial numbers and every month a list of the numbers went out to all the pawn shops to check their inventory lists. Many weapons were recovered this way including my best friends 30-30. With any luck theirs a similar system down here. Just make sure the police have all the serial numbers. Good luck with the recovery.

The local Pawn shops send a list to the local PD. The PD will ask them to be on the look out for certain items also.

Cool, glad to see the system in use down here.

I'd still go to the local pawn shops. Drop them off the descriptions. Maybe mention a reward for recovery for the ones that have sentimental value. Hit the pawn shops in other parishes also.

Sorry to hear about it.

 

[Poopshooter]

What part of walker?

Also can we get a list of the gun's taken?


Edit: just saw here you posted where they live. Get me a list of the guns taken and I maybe able to help.

When I worked in the Property Investigations Unit, we picked up all the intake list from all the pawn shops in the parish on Fridays and compared them weekly with the stolen items reports. We made many, many cases like this, and the victims always got their propery back

Were the guns secured at all?

They were in the man's house. That's all the "securing" a gun needs imo.

I know, just pissed that your question is valid. Reminds me of that video posted the other night.

I keep my safe on the second floor. When I'm at work my dog also stays in that room. My dog does not like anyone. If some one does manage to kill my dog the bright side of that will be to come home and find a crushed crack head under my safe at the bottom of my stairs. I kind of want it to happen. Does that make me evil or what

The only one I know of for sure is a Taurus PT1911 that my bro-in-law just gave him. My dad gave me a couple of his older guns a while back (good thing!) because he doesn't really shoot them anymore. I'll get a full list from him and let you know. How will you be able to help if you don't mind me asking? If you don't want to say here you can send me a PM.

No. My parents live alone (no children in the house anymore). We're only talking about 2 or 3 handguns here... no a huge gun collection. Like I said in my last post, he gave me a couple of his older guns a while back so he only had 2 or 3 handguns for protection. Keeping them locked in a safe isn't very practical for protection purposes.

 

[satoups]

At the very least make sure the home is well lighted and put a couple of dogs/alarm signs on the doors.
If they didn't get everything, dont be surprise if they come back for the rest.....
Local police should be collecting the pawn sheets weekly for review. Sit back and review the condition of the home and figure out why was their home selected. What brought attention to their home. Did it look empty, was the curtains open for viewing, no cars in the drive way at the time, blind spots around the home......etc you get the idea. Now change the perception.

Sorry to hear this, hope they catch the bastards that dud this and all their property is returned.

In these deals, did you actually catch the preps too or just recover the items. Who eats it in a deal like this too...the pawn shops?

Yes, because thieves don't break into homes to steal guns.

No. My parents live alone (no children in the house anymore). We're only talking about 2 or 3 handguns here... no a huge gun collection. Like I said in my last post, he gave me a couple of his older guns a while back so he only had 2 or 3 handguns for protection.

Well, that's the best case when guns are stolen I guess. It's easier to replace a couple than 20.

If I purchase a gun and it turns out to be stolen I would suffer the loss and I could be in trouble for receiving stolen things.

So some shitbag(s) decided to break into my parent's house today. They got a couple of TVs, jewelry, and my dad's guns.

Do not be surprised if your family knows the people responsible for this.
