Holy cow!!

They have to show up, or some of them anyway. I would print this list and pass it out to dealers at the S.O.S, they are giving reciepts for everything now, but there is no way anyone is going to be able to hide that collection, unless they stole it for themself.

How did they get them?

[Peter A Larson]

Does any body know if this list has been sent to gunbroker.com and auctionarms.com?

[Matt Weber]

Wow, that is quite a collection that was stolen!

How the heck did they steal all of those guns?

I've printed out a copy of this list, and will be taking it to the Louisville show with me, and I'll pass it out to all the dealers I know there.

We'll find this crook!

Any details on the crime?

I've seen this list posted recently on several forums, in addition to being e-mailed around among RKI's.

This list sure looks like the crooks wiped out the guy's entire collection. Does anyone have any information as to whether this was a random hit by some house burglars who simply got lucky and found a jackpot of firearms, or does this appear to be a targeted hit aimed specifically at the collection?

We all worry about house burglars, but I think we all are probably even more disturbed at the possibility that, by becoming "known" collectors in our local communities, we may place ourselves in danger of targeted hits.

Any further information on this sad event would be appreciated.

From what I understand the man amazingly removed this entire batch of weapons from a secure environment - put them in his car and drove somehwere to have lunch. And whilst feeding his hunger his car was 'burgled'.
It appears this fellow had a terrible lapse of judgement or as some think a case of insurance fraud. It -well the details supplied as I heard them sound strange. You would think it took some time to clear out the car of this load - and the possibility of some store or parking lot nearby with video monitoring would be probable I should think.
