Posted By: IA_fog Be on lookout stolen guns IOWA - 04/09/23
Got robbed last night
3 Glock 22
20 `15 rd mags
1187 premier wood stock
TRR Imports EVO BT bull pup shotgun
Several other tool items
West Burlington Iowa location
Thanks all
Sorry to hear, hope police catch the lowlife thrives.
There ought to be a law against stealing. Or maybe enforce the ones that we have.
Guys and Gals you need to invest in a GOOD gun safe. Stop the kick the door in and steal valuables in a very quick bit. A gun safe is a very good investment. The price a good gun can be spent on a gun safe and stop this crap. You make it easy for the thieves.

Thanks, dick lick for stating the obvious.
This was in an out building at my home. Just picked up 2 handguns Friday night. I have always had a loaded shotgun and handgun there just in case just like I do in my house garage
Very suspicious even sheriff acts like
Im99.9% sure I locked the walk-in door
No one comes to our house except a neighbor was there Friday and walked in my shed. I am cordial to him but don’t trust him. Sheriff says can’t do anything unless we get a print or some other proof
Took all my Milwaukee batteries but no tools
Left 30 loaded ar mags though
Got the serial numbers for us ?
Damned! I can’t stand a thief! Hopefully they were able to get some prints. Make sure you get the serial numbers to the sheriff so they can at least be entered into NCIC as stolen. From what you have said about the neighbor, he sounds like a suspect or at least someone that he knows.
Sheriff Bubba sounds like he needs to retire and let someone with a little ambition get involved. Lots can be done without fingerprints.
Sorry to hear. That sucks for sure. I hope they catch the crook.
I wish you luck,
Ed

Yes will have all but one serial number by 8 am
The thief took a high dollar Airgun which has no serial number but will be difficult use if u don’t know pcp guns
All my Milwaukee batteries but only the leaf blowers no other tools
All my 15rd mags for the glocks some were the law enforcement ones
I’m so po right now I am on lockdown so I do t do something dumb
Should I post serial numbers here or just in private?
Thanks for support guys I’m 100% to blame cause I didn’t lock in my safe but damn where we live is what is so suspicious
Make sure when you get a gun safe don’t keep it anywhere near a torch. My buddy’s brother did and some meth heads used his torch to cut into his safe. My buddy keeps his torch locked in his safe now.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I hope like hell they catch em
Sorry to hear a very chitty deal

I have a safe these were out side in garage. 2 have always been there for security purposes the new ones I just picked up Friday evening, had company coming so just those out there just for a night I thought and Honestly we are in what was called a safe place but [bleep] people and everyone wonders why I hate people
If there's stuff that he didn't take the first time there's prob a decent chance he may come back
Hope you get your property back.
I know and the sheriff said the same
Moved security camera to different locations changed the door code
Put pipes in the windows and moved my driveway alarm
I’m so pissed wife has me locked in I so bad want to go to his house and call the f___head out!!
He took 3 of those Milwaukee m12 air compressors 2 leaf blowers a jump pack
Dang bud sorry to hear that. Irritates me for you just hearing your story. If you were close I’d give
You one of my extra leaf blowers. You think your neighbor is to blame? Sounds like there is a component of “convenient timing” especially if you normally keep it locked and he was just there Friday. Is his house close to yours?
My insurance guy told me of a client of his who had a large safe full of very expensive rifles and shotguns. He lived in North West Iowa by the way.

When he was on vacation and the house was vacant thieves broke in, wrapped chains around the fellow’s safe. Puked the safe up the stairs from his basement damaging door ways and stairs as the safe came out of the house. They loaded the safe up and drove away.

At the time he was telling me this, they had not been caught.

Sounds like a good reason to at least hide the cutting torch head.
Tines are tough for many.. thieves getting worse by the day. Had my gas tank on pick up get 2 holes drilled in tank to get $30 worth of gas. Nearly $2k later, ...tank replaced and hotel bill, ....hate thieves!!! Ask, I'll probably help ya out.

Sorry to hear another Iowan (or anyone) getting home jacked.
Post the serial numbers here. Tomorrow they will be in the stolen guns database.

If you post here, EVERY person will be looking. Database only helps if a LEO runs the serial number.
As soon as I get the last one from ffl I’ll post
Thanks for all the support
keep an eye out on local craigslist....and facebook marketplace....for the battery's and tools
good luck al
PM sent
sorry to hear of your break-in. Dang it anyway--Very hard to stop a determined band of thieves these days. Even with cameras if they have hoodies on and masks what do you have?? Hope the sheriff comes up with something. Have you considered a security monitoring system?? Guess the situation could of been much worse as they could of took more stuff.
Will keep an eye out in Fairfield/Washington for ya…. Damn low life’s!!

Maybe put up a trail camera and see it they come back, they usually do, unless it was a passer by (doubtful from the sounds of it.

Prayers that someone messes up and they get caught.
