Yeah she was in the building and someone told her the hatch on her jeep was open. she went out to check and found the bags gone.....

Of course they don't have any security cameras on campus.

Alert the pawn and gun shops and start checking Craig's List and eBay.

Oh man - that's awful. Like Riverrat said - the important thing is she is safe. Good advice from Rick too. Don't worry about the knife - if it isn't recovered, I'll make you another one.

I'd bet that gun shows up at a shop and the bags and that knife will probably get auctioned. They'll show up just keep watchin' for them. Set your alerts to notify you.

Man, I hate to hear that! Not that it helps any, but I'm ticked off about it, too! I have no use for a thief!:sneaky2:

(Oh, and that's good advice, that the guys are giving you.)

I appreciate it Rick good info I have pics of most of the stuff so people will know what the bags look like, Have also got pics of the Barretta and Serial number, pics of crash knife, and such will take to P.D. After work tommorow and detectives will get them out via web to all pawn shops in tri-state. So I hope for the best.

Thank you 2D i apprciate your support!!

I got an E-mail today regarding this new type of robbery. Apparently they sit in parking lots waiting for those to use their keyless locks. Since it is all radio waves they can steal the code. Best bet is to use the manual locks. I guess this is happening a lot. Sorry you had to go through it.

That's excellent advice for everyone. Record your serial numbers, photo your weapons and note any after market accessories or other special identifying features.

Just curious, did they fingerprint the car?

Keep us posted. Let's hope these scumbags get caught.

You might also think about this. If they did use a scanner, then they have the code to open your vehicle. You may have to do something about that. Change the lock code, install an alarm. I'm not certain but if they have the code they can come back any time.

No they didn't fingerprint the car the officer said for this type of robbery they usually don't "waste departmental resources needlessly as the odds of recovering any usable prints are very slim, and since they had the "code" they likely used gloves anyway"

An anti-theft device is always a good idea. While I know this one is illegal, it sure could be satisfying.

Yes that's what the cops said as well. Since they caught the code it also turned off the alarm system. Her jeep is supposed to have a rotating code to prevent that. I guess it doesn't have like the dealer said it did or it's not working. I'll da## sure make sure it does ASAP. OH and thanks doug.

No I didn't think they would they usually save the "resources" for homicide and stuff like that. I am sorry to hear about this Don. not too long ago there was a car dumped at my apartment complex. I reported it and it was a similar situation as to what Don has, they just called the lady to come get her car. The sad thing is they will probably never be caught.
Don I would keep on the LEO's about what is being done. Otherwise they may not pursue the case. not anything else I can add to what is/has been said. But I am sorry that it happened .

Thanks mel I am well known here due to my EMS/CERT/SAR envolvement. Several of the local LEO's shoot at the same place I do. Two have already called me to say there sorry. And one even offered to give 10 minutes alone with the theif If I want IF they catch them.

Visit the pawn shops! Not long ago my mower was stolen and I recovered it a repair shop. I never stopped looking it had been close to 2 months! I get to go watch him get released in court a second time on the 12th. Good Luck!

You bet I'll be checking, As for the perps release ( everyone hide your eye's I'm gonna get political) it doesn't surprize me in the liberalistic justice system today the scumbag who stole your mower and the one who took our stuff has more rights than we do!

And thanks for the well wishes

In a nut shell. If you can't prove he stole it with pictures or witnesses of him actually committing the crime then he didn't do it, even when caught redhanded with it. He only received stolen property. First I recovered the mower with a guys name now hanging from the key. So I call the police and they allow me to recover my now not running mower. Months later an arrest is finally made and it is a different guy. Seems the first guy rolled on the second and now he has noone to roll on. But that is not enough proof to charge him with theft only receiving stolen goods. I did get to look him in the eye after he spent a weekend in jail. I will be back on the 12th. The other thing is the charge is receiving stolen goods under 1000$ and is a misdimeanor. It doesn't matter my new mower cost 2500$.

That sucks OldSoldier. I detest thieves. I'm glad Mrs. OldSoldier is OK and I hope you get your stuff back. Not nice to think some a$$hole like that is running around out there with your 9 mil.

I do know what you mean. LEO friends said that the odds of catching the theif(s) are pretty slim.BUT if caught the firearm alone will guarentee a felony charge. Plus the value of stolen stuff is well over $1000.oo So thats another felony. If it's over $2000.oo a stiffer felony.

Hey crash didn't you say the knife you made was a custom one of a kind knife with a $1,000.00 value??:innocent::innocent:

We can put a price tag on it, but I don't want to make somebody choke on their donut while laughing.

I hope I don't insult your fine work here if I do I'm sorry. I told the cops that It WAS a custom knife and the probible replacement value was $ 450.00 The cop put down $500.00 on the report.

I told him the replacement value in $$$ isn't the point it's the sentimental value and told him how I got it. He agreed and said he knows what I mean.

Good point, I have to admit I even hate to see the waste of a good Danish (the people, not the pastry) That one kind of works both ways.

Well, so we don't insult the Danish (the people not the pastry) I hate to see the waste of a good Danish (the people not the pastry). There. That should keep us out of trouble.

hate to hear it.. words don't even get close.. i have had three car break-in's. i will be in some trouble if i ever walk up on it happin...... even to someone else's car.

I wish Indiana insurance covers loss due to theft with the EXCEPTION of:

Firearms, and any other sporting goods with the exception of fishing,camping, hunting gear ( except firearms) and any other "outdoor" equipment, Tools with a value over $ 200.00, Electronics Over $5,000.00 i.e. stereo equipment installed or portable, there were a couple other things I can't remember at the moment. Only covered if special "ryder" added at extra cost!!!!
But basically coverage I have
Handgun.................................$0
Knife......................................$0
first aid gear.............................$0
CD's.......................................$250.00
other items..............................$400.oo
Insurane deductable...................$750.00

You better believe it!!! I just wish my LEO friends were NOT joking about that 10 minutes........................................... .:chair::jango::wheelchair:

Oh!!! I also checked my NRA insurane Sorry but the vehicle wasn't registered in my name................. The registered owner isn't a member so................

True storie, I swear this is true!
Back in the early eighty's i left a department store and as i approached my 1974 dodge charger i watched as a man was using a "jimmie" trying to break into it. I got a hold of myself and and calmly asked him if he had locked himself out of "his" car and did he need any help. he somewhat frantically said no im good, ill get it. I then stated that if has a problem getting into "his" car i could help as i have the key in my pocket. We locked eyes and then he ran like heck. I thought it was so funny i didn't bother to call the police.

I hate to hear that. It burns me up and just knowing some dope head will sell everything for a handful of pills. We have all the alarms, bells & whistles here but if we go on the deck the door is locked behind us. We both, when I lived in the DC suburbs learned to always keep the doors, vehicles and everything locked or out of sight. I worked odd hours and I was having a cold one about 3am looked down the street and saw someone checking fronts of houses and when he got to my solid fence he got a 12ga under the chin and was told if he got off the sidewalk I would blow him away. I was the "gun crazy Redneck" in the neighborhood. Next week every car on the street was spray painted except mine, never had any more trouble. If it's possible I hate vandals worse than thieves.

:laugh::laugh:Thank you hunter I needed that
