I've missed something...

From someone who's had a gun stolen I can relate. Luckily I had the serial# and it's on file with the Ga. police.

Best wishes, and I wish I had more info...

I'm certainly not one to rub salt into the wound, but I highly recommend recording serial #'s like the poster above...!

Brian,

I'm going to the Raleigh show tomorrow and am taking your list. I'd love to have your phone number in case I see any of them. My cell number can be found at my website. If you don't mind giving me a shout there so I can be on the lookout.

Hello my name is Eric Minton. My good friend also had a firearm stolen, November 2008. The theft occurred in the small town of Leitchfield, KY. A report was made to the local sheriff, fliers were posted and handed out in our town, as well as, the surrounding communities. An ad was placed in the local newspaper for a month offering a reward. Because my friend wanted more exposure he searched the web for a place to submit his stolen gun, after several hours of searching, he realized no such site existed.
It was that mindset that www.stolenweapon.com was created. A website designed exclusively with the victim of gun theft in mind. In order for us as individuals to preserve our rights we must take initiatives and become proactive in order to prevent governmental gun control. The major negative stigma associated with firearms are gun crimes, but as we all know guns don’t commit crimes, people do. If legislation was passed to control gun ownership it would only hinder and disarm law abiding citizens because criminals would not register guns.
Although gun recovery is difficult, it is not our websites only purpose. At the moment, a stolen weapon is instant cash for any thief, but with our websites capability it will now allow the general public to privately and easily identify a stolen weapon. This will ultimately drive down the value of these weapons; therefore, preventing and deterring a thief from stealing firearms. Unfortunately, there will always be thieves, but who would buy, trade, or sell a firearm they know has been stolen except thieves, and who likes or wants to deal with thieves. By allowing individuals to check our website for stolen weapons this will potentially help reduce crime rates, which threaten our individual freedoms to own guns.
It was explained to us that the majority of the local law enforcement agencies will not run gun checks for the general public. As we all know the NCIC exists, but it is only available for law enforcement use. Law enforcement plays a vital role in the recovery of stolen weapons and we totally support the service they provide. With over 500,000 weapons stolen annually in the U.S. alone we feel there is room for us to make a difference.
www.stolenweapon.com is completely free. It allows individuals, traders, gun shops, buyers, sellers etc….a viable, interactive opportunity to list and also search for stolen firearms. We understand that victims of gun theft (gun owners) want their personal information kept private and we respect the right to privacy; therefore, the personal and serial number information submitted by a victim is completely private and encrypted with a RIJNDAEL_256 bit encrypted string. This information is not stored in any type of readable form in our database and no one else is able to view the submitted information. If a searcher (anyone searching weapons) performs a general weapons description search without a serial number, only those weapons that match the description will show up with the state it was stolen from. The submitters (victim of gun theft) personal information and serial numbers are not viewable. If a searcher performs a serial number search and there is a positive match to the serial number in the database, then an alert is sent to the searcher that the weapon is stolen. Also, an alert is sent to the original submitter. The submitter is then free to contact his/her local law enforcement agency. Only serial number matches trigger alerts.
The www.stolenweapon.com site has been designed in a cut and dry fashion in order to keep it quick and easy. This format keeps the site accessible for everyone to use and does not distract the user from its original purpose. Please know we are dedicated to serving your needs and will be constantly evolving to meet them.
Thank You,

Question: What is the content of the message sent to the original submitter? Is the submitter advised of the identification of the searcher, and vice-versa?

instaallaternc: I've also got you figured out as being an RENE member. If none of these are recovered by the time the next issue goes to print, let me know and I'll get notice of them in that issue. Somebody is bound to find some of them.

And for everybody who asked, he's in North Carolina. I think the more information that is provided right away, the quicker these can be recovered. I wouldn't want something like this happening to me either.

SSM4 650-00802

installaternc: Let us know whether this gun was marked SSM on the left side of the cylinder frame or not (if you happen to have caught that). If the gun shows up on an auction site, the SSM marking would be a red flag as there's only three of those currently known (if yours is SSM marked, it would be the 4th known). Ruger changed the rollmark right about sn 650-00800.

Just some helpful tips that I can think of to help a guy out.

Serial number: Keep it on a CD with pictures of your guns, and also on paper. I have one in my safe and one at my insurance carrier. Make sure and get the serial number off the scope, binoculars, spotting scope, and anything else that has one!

Make and model and chambering: Of the firearm and of the scope. Particulars are important.

Photo's: A picture is worth a thousand words and they can be very useful in identification.

If something is stolen: Call and give the firearm information to pawn shops in the area. Firearms discription and how they can contact you. Law Enforcement checks pawn shop sheets and runs serial numbers on firearms, or a lot of them do, but it could be a while before that happens. Make those calls as most reputable shops DO NOT want to deal in stolen merchandise.

A big hunt planned: Take the time to take a couple photo's of each firearm you are taking with you, spotting scopes, the expensive stuff. Put the make model and serial number on back of the picure and laminate it and carry this with you on your trip. Make these about credit card size so if something happens you have that information immediately. Trying to get back home to get your information, or reaching the wife at home and then trying to explain where you carefully have your information stored can be tough.

Nice idea on the stolenweapon.com site! Good job!

How do they get away with so much do they use a torch to open your safe? I have cannon fuse taped around the door of mine you can only guess what is at the end of the fuses . The end result? some real banged up guns (that are insured) and no more robber. I caught a group breaking down my door at a different address about 5 years ago they were all prosecuted and one shot himself, I say good riddance to the trash!
When I bought this place the ease of getting to it was one of my first thoughts and it is not a e z target 1 mile of private drive way , alarm, gate, then the guns not in the safes,, a wife and daughter that will shoot ,,,forget all that my dogs are not the type you mess with the,
JWs don't even look out here...good luck to you

I had 9 guns stolen in 1991. I gave sheriff Detailed description, serial # of all guns, make of scopes on guns if any and even a set of pictures of all the guns stolen. I have not heard a word on any of them being recovered in 25 years.

I had two pistol's stolen in 1993.. A M629 Classic and 651 (no dash).. The 44mag was recovered by the Sheriff within 1-month, the 22mag last year.
I traded the 44-mag right away but glad to get the 22mag back.
The thieves didn't take the four digit flat top 44 or any other single action for some reason, little did they know of values.

Old thread, but I wonder how many gun thefts are contract jobs, and not just run of the mill robbery? Kinda like boosting a list of cars for somebody with a specific want.
