At myself! Was at Home Depot with the little Lady. Place was packed. Christmas trees on the lot, had to park well away from the door. We're in there a couple hours buying stuff for projects, taking our time, no hurry .... Come out ... b  stards got into the truck! Like an IDIOT I had separated my keys and left them in the console compartment. Welp, they got the keys, a Zeiss 85mm spotter, a Vortex Rangefinding bino, and the gawddarned truck registration ... with my home address. So instead of reporting to Home Depot, I tell the little Lady to get the heck in the rig and call the cops right away. I tell the cops they have the keys to my son's Toyota, plus another car, and my address. They agree to meet us at home, and I'm hauling a little a$$ to get there. Hang up and call the neighbor, who has a ring doorbell camera thingy, she goes outside, and sure FREAKING enough, my son's truck is already GONE. Pardon my Polynesian, but SON OF A B!TCH!  Anyway, three cop cars waiting when I get there. Luckily I had my house keys, but they cleared the place anyway. Took two reports, one for the burglary at Home Depot, and one for the stolen Taco. Just got off the phone with the insurance company ... prolly looking at two deductibles. And I'm staring at an extra Apple Tag I bought when I lost Scout that I intended to put on the vehicles and just didn't get to. Dang it!! I got complacent. Made it easy for them. I am one p!ssed off mofo right now ... mostly at myself!

Damn. That sucks. Hope they catch them. Video from the parking lot? Anything useful on the ring doorbell?

Jeez Rick,
that really really really is the schiedts.
Good luck catching them. Hope they don't get Gavin'ed out on a no bail ticket.

Damn, bud. You’re having a tough run lately.
I hope they get caught and find the truck.
Also hope your luck changes.

Did Home Depot have cameras for their parking lot?
Might want to find out and if they do then review what may have been seen.

Sorry to hear that. I hate Fuqking thieves.
Unfortunately, in TX, we can only shoot them if they’re thieving at nighttime. 😬

Where you live makes a difference. Thieves are everywhere and resourceful. My brother inlaw was at a bar and they got his reg and went to his house with his garage door opener and stole a bunch of tools and ransacked the house. Bar tender was stalling them on the tab and schidt too.

Sorry to hear this Rick. I'm glad they didn't get into the house.
I know it really sucks, but in the words of fieldgrade, "It's just stuff" At least nobody got hurt.

Home Depot has cameras but they suck. Had a cat converter cut out of my pickup at 11:30 a.m. straight out from the door in the center of the lot. Police said they probably couldn't even get plate numbers off the lousy ass "security" cameras.
Now, the cameras in store could probably check for pending acne formation, but the lot cameras are worthless.
