Rifles STOLEN Redding Ca

[Frank in Fairfield]

The worst feelings ever.

About 9 years ago at a range west of Davis, CA my pride and joy Thompson/Center Contender with ported 14" .223 barrel was stolen from my shooting bench while I went to the restroom.
When I came back I asked the RO about it and was told "It is not my job to watch your stuff".

Of course, no one else saw anything either.

Didn't take my rest.
Didn't take my shooting bag.
Didn't take my spotting scope.
Didn't take the case.

The RO just let the PERP walk off the range with un-cased gun.
Sure!

Certified RO my ars!

Poor range master. Karma has a way of getting even.  That RO will get his as well as the thief.

2- guns stolen from my truck, 1 Ruger Super red hawk .454 Casull and a Beretta PX4 storm .40, they were in a locked case and stolen from the back seat of my truck, alarm was on and doors locked, truck parked in my carport, He used a spark plug to break the window, reached in and took the case, and then the house was robbed 3 times, I had put in surveillance video cameras and caught the crook on video, gave the video to the cops and haven't heard anything since no gun's no stolen items, apparently they recovered nothing, but all the break in's in the neighborhood stopped since then.

GEEZ !!!
Here in the backwoods of southern Alabama folks sorta take care of their own problems. We all know and respect that. Lots of places to hide things around here  . Ya just don't go walking onto someone's property unannounced or uninvited. Ya just might not walk back out. Most of the authority types are local folks. They condone the law of the land. Rattlesnakes and wild hogs ain't the only thing to be cautious of.

Let's keep this on topic folks.  Help keep an eye out for stolen guns-- craigslist, gunbroker, eBay, pawnshops.  Any other suggestions?

Thanks!!  I appreciate it.  Wish my insurance company felt the same way.  But no political comments!!

So sorry for your loss. I hope they find their way back to you right away....Are you saying insurance won't cover them?

That sort of story makes me think that the RO was in on the theft.  If he didn't take it; then he was protecting the thief that did.  The thief sells the rifle then splits the money later with the RO.

Hopefully your Homeowners Insurance will help with this loss/theft.  In MI air guns are not limited for theft coverage as are fire arms.

That's good to know Bill. Hey, I'm "right down the road" from you!

So is it a State Law or is it your insurance company?  And if it is your insurance company who are you insured with? 

Thanks! 

I have a $1,000 deduct and $2500 Cap!!  That covers one rifle, now what?

[Frank in Fairfield]

I know this.
When my boys were at USC (University of Spoiled Children), their car was broken into.
Dowtown Los Angeles, go figure.

Anyway, their very expensive tennis equipment and golf clubs were taken.

My AAA Home Owners covered it.

[BillK]

I am insured w/AutoOwners.  As far as I know most all companies do not consider "air guns" to be "firearms".
Very easy to check.  Just call your Ins. Agent.  If you don't have an agent then you will probably have to venture into the "1-800" land.  You should have reported this theft to the police & received a report number.  Ins. Co. will want a report #.
Good luck & let us know how it goes.

I figured that's what this was on the original post?

Just trying to pass on some info to any who may be interested what is necessary to report a claim.
Thanks for pointing out the fact that it was reported.

Things like this are why-
When I shop around at pawn shops I try to remember that-
It might ?
And try to ask about how long has this been here?

We all love a great deal, BUT.,.,.,

Sorry for your BAD luck, KARMA is real and will come around !
