Neighbor down the street got hit today, many guns stolen, jewlery, etc..... strangely, I feel his loss, like it happened to me, My wife was home, and got a couple who came by, selling chemical cleaning agents, as did my Neighbors, neighbor, but were turned down, and the door was not opened. I do think they were the perps, find out who was home. I feel so sorry for him and his family, his wife is in tears, and does not want to go back into the house, let alone sleep there, I know what being violated means, it is a life changing event, I do feel so sorry for them, they also stole keys to the house and the vehicles, so this might not go away. Just ranting, I hate this kind of s--t. Told the neighbors next door and across the street, to be on the watch. Took my Glock 21 out of the truck and now will be carried from the truck, into the house and back into the truck in the am. No leaving weapons in the truck, Just moving one to another.
I did put every possible gun in the safes.

So sorry to hear about your neighbors. Just reading that post about what a burg wants. Few years ago there was some strange and very pushy sales people that came to my parents house and instantly my mom called me. (I still lived across the road at that time and worked for the sheriff's office) The decided to leave in a hurry once a 6'2 350# guy came across the road with a .40 on his side. While walking across the road I was on the phone with dispatch feeding them info as fast as I could. Deputy caught them and got all of their information. No problems from that group in our area. Probably just went to the next county and started the process over again. >:(

Mate if the system there is like ours they will cry about being disadvantaged, beaten as a kid and on the street by noon next day.
The one thing I do like about the US is the three strikes rule. I wish we had something like that here, instead of soft cock judiciary always siding with the crims.

It happened to me when I was young and stupid. It left me feeling completely violated and with an anger that didn't want to go away. I can sympathize with your neighbors and applaud you for taking the necessary steps to secure your gear. At the time it happened to me, cops said that the bad guys frequently target an area and may hit several homes.

Dammit!! I can't stand a thief! They don't care what their actions do to the people either. That really gets my goat! I sure feel for your neighbors. TB get your rope and I'll get mine! %*&@%^()*
-
I feel for them also! I was broken into twice...once at an apartment and once at my first house. Violated is a mild term for what you feel.
Let them know that I will be praying for them.

I hate theifs. Had dirt bag break into my house when I was a kid. They got too scared to take anything and ran away. They were afraid of my dad and what he would do to them. They knew he would find out who did it and they would be sorry.
Watched the old man one time outside of a ice cream shop working on our truck. A drunk walked across the street from a bar and confronted my dad. He was a bada@@ when he was younger and had settled down by then. Dad told him to keep on walking and dude kept it up. He mashed this dude in front of the ice cream shop. Dad stepped over him and said told you to leave me alone. The guy he mashed was a local tough guy out of the bars, thought he would make a name for himself. Watched his friends pick his sorry carcass out of the street and pick up his teeth. His rep kept most of the dirt bags from messing with us at all.

That is just awful. Can you loan him a 12g or something, until the locks and cars get re-keyed?
What a damn shame. I HATE a thief! >:(
Sometimes the parts of the world that cut off the hand of a thief, doesn't seem all that bad. I'd leave the hand, just take a couple fingers.
I hope his wife can recover enough to feel comfortable again, "In Her Own House"...

I particularly hate thieves.........
A man that'll steal a nickel will steal fifty dollars.
Lowest form of criminal...............

Thanks everyone, he gave me 3 guns to put in my safe to keep safe, still violated, but coming to grips with the situation, it makes your blood boil, but being a neighbor, you need to keep yourselves as safe as you can. my wife has not come to grip with this sit rep. Thanks all the more. This neighbor is the one that I count on, with my precision rifles I have him covered in a conflict. at his front door.

Is that for the guilt or the punishment phase? If its for the guilt phase, its the right thing to do do, presuption of innocence and all that. Just because you screwed up in the past doesn't mean you did it this time. Punishment, post conviction on the other hand, it is, or should be, a whole different animal. That said, I don't like "three strikes" laws or mandatory minimums or "zero tolerance", or the rest of it. Commonsense has to prevail, and that means judicial discretion. We might choose the wrong judges (on one side or the other), but better that than a "one size fits all" rule that defys logic.

FQ you are right. We cannot mention anything about previous case files or convictions. Even if it shows same Method of operation. I have had slezy defense attorneys make statements that their client has never been in touble, trying to sucker me into saying something about previous case files to get the case thrown out. It does come into play with sentencing. Usually juries will look at you and say why did you not tell us about what they did in the past can not do it. They get a unbiased jury every time.

Just found out that the individual that hit my house is involved with something much more serious "AGAIN"! What goes around, comes around!

That's a big pant load of our legal system for ya! Ridiculous! It's more and more common for repeat offenders of all types of crime to be out on the streets because of over crowding, state budgets, whatever. I think it's foolish for a jury to not know the looser has been busted five other times for a similar crime before!!! ::)
-
It is only fair that they get the right to a unbiased jury.
-
The Constitution does NOT guarantee an "unbiased" jury. It promises a "Jury of YOUR PEERS".
Prior conduct should be mentioned.
Make them ALL" RICO" Prosecutions, that way the past record it's self becomes evidence.

Got a sit rep from my neighbor, the perp was caught, the cool guns were gone, ar15, mini 14, and a much loved lightweight commander that I installed a Kart barrel on, due to a very overloaded cartridge, and belonged to a beloved friend who passed. More to come as my friend picks up what is left on Monday, Tools, guns etc...
Thanks group.

Too bad LEO'S can't waterboard him, or at least say we're going to,..... I hear it will make him sing like a bird.....pawn shops, other scumbags, wherever they went to possibly get them back.
Glad he was caught regardless. I hope "Bubba" takes a liking to him in jail....

I understand the US military has stopped using waterboarding in their training as everyone - and I mean everyone - gave up everything, it is that effective.
Since they are guns, maybe the LEOs can put some effort into hunting them down, with the owner putting up a reward or something.
