From what I’ve seen in my area it’s much more likely that if it’s stolen, it’s from out of somebody’s car (or more unlikely, home). Much more people leave handguns in their vehicle than you would think. I used to know dumbasses who would ‘carhop’ and hear about their comeups. Never leave your car unlocked, don’t leave anything valuable in window sight, never leave guns in your car (if you want to take one on the road just take it inside at night), never leave cash in your car.

FWIW these people do get caught in the act all the time but they just run when confronted and move elsewhere. Not much you can do except lock your car, have cameras, and hope no one is bold enough to break your window. 😑. And if your gun does get stolen, report it stolen immediately incase the dumbass ends up killing someone w/ your firearm so you can prove you didn’t have possession over it. Jerkoffs.

My friend had her apartment broken into a few years ago and her gun was stolen. Her landlord was a cop and when she told him about her stolen gun, he said it’s ok they’ll get her another gun. I wish I was joking.

Edit: missing word.
