A good friend of mine was carrying two heavy gun cases out to the parking lot and couldn't find his car. So he set them down by the pedestrian walkway and the stairs leading up to the next level. When he returned the cases were gone. A police report was filed. Here is a list of guns:

   1. TTN, 12 Gauge dbl bbl shotgun. Hammer type. Antiqued, 20" bbl.

    2. Uberti Model1866 lever action carbine, 19" bbl..45 Colt. Antiqued with the brass not shined. Looks bad.

    3. 1863 Remington "Zouave", .58 cal muzzle loader, 33" bbl.

    4. Remington Jenks Navy Carbine, with Maynard primer, .54 cal. 24 1/4" bbl.

    5. Warner solid frame revolving rifle, made in the1850's, ser # 249, .40 cal, 26" bbl. Have to push the forward trigger to revolve the cylinder.

 They were in hard, black long rifle cases.  1 has  Navy sticker with the name Charles Maurer stenciled on it, and the other has a SASS logo sticker and  "Stone Deaf" label.

If you saw anything or anybody or have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me or the police. Mahalo.

Sorry to hear that...... BUT who in their right mind leaves firearms unattended?!

Nonetheless, we'll be on the lookout.

No one feels worse about it than he does. Thanks for keeping on the lookout.

those are some uncommon firearms.
I'll be on lookout for them
On another topic, did anyone notice that there are some characters at the gunshow today?

I wonder if NBC has video surveillance in and around the parking structure?

That really does suck.  Hopefully our registration and other gun laws quickly catch the thieves as they attempt to register in their names!     

I purchased several of these.  I only wanted one, but I got three in case I got a lemon, as very cheap electronics are apt to do when buying online!

I've been very happy.  The alarm is loud as hell, so you can lock it in a gun case and hear it fine if it goes off.  You put a 9V battery in the alarm unit, turn the switch on the alarm unit to "on", then use the key bob to arm/disarm it just like a car alarm.  It even chirps to let you know if it's active or not.

I put one in my carry on when I travel now.  When I claim my luggage with my gun if traveling with it, I also turn that one one as I'm going to my rental car.  This way I can set my luggage near me and not worry about someone walking off with it while I'm possibly distracted.  Vibration sets it off.

NBC does have cameras but unfortunately security left for the day and the surveillance is locked up in the security room. But I'm sure it picked up something

oh man.  I hope somebody walked them back to the show lost and found or something not just outright STOLE FIREARMS.  That's Club FED when they get caught.

I have seen video cams in the parking structure, hopefully there were some catching the stairways.man I hope who ever took the firearms get caught and get the maximum sentence.

I'm a little surprised this happened.  Usually I'd think people that attend gun shows are more law abiding overall than anywhere else.  Or at least no one would try something like that since lots of eyes are watching everywhere.

the only characters i noticed this weekend were concentrated in that one corner near the restroom...

Thanks for posting Inspector.  I hope the guns are found.

That's horrible that those guns were stolen. My sympathies to the former owner. I know that feeling when you discover such a loss...     

I wouldn't be surprised that anywhere there is a crowd of people buying and/or selling valuable items that there will likely be some criminal element surveilling the people and the parking lot. I wish it weren't that way, but...

Haha! Those guys did look like the usual suspects.

How sensitive are they to vibration?  If, for example, you were to leave your gun case locked in your car, would wind/passing cars/pedestrian bumps set it off?

It varies, depending on how close to the outside world it is.  If inside a padded gun case, it's not going to go off NORMALLY unless  someone kicks or tries to lift the case.

Having said that, I had one activated in a soft, not-overly-padded, AR case at the range.  Someone was shooting something big with a really annoying -- I mean -- really exciting to listen to muzzle brake 2 benches down.

Upon the first shot from that rifle .....

RARR!  RARR! RARR! RARR!

I would say, sensitive enough to detect the movement you want to detect, but not so sensitive it goes off in a gentle breeze!

Haha! Those guys did look like the usual suspects.

yeah there was one scary guy had the red plaid shirt on

I have been informed and asked to post...

the owner of the rifles has offered a $500 reward for the recovery of the THREE ANTIQUE RIFLES that were lost/stolen. 

If any one has any information please PM me for the details on how to contact the owner.  Thank you!

I think I passed by the owner when he set them down by the walkway. I was parked on S. King and was walking away from the NBC. I remember seeing the J Hara guys putting away their stuff and then the owner of the old firearms. Not sure if it was that side of the street (closest to NBC) was the one - if so, it is a one way makai.

Not sure if this is posted elsewhere, apologies if it is.

One of our older shooters had five of his guns stolen from the parking lot.  This is really sad, Charlie is one of the nicest guys. No pictures were provided.

Two long gun hard cases filled with five guns were stolen at about 5pm Sunday March 22, 2015 just after the gun show. The owner was in the process of loading his vehicle. The theft occured in the NBC parking lot first floor inside lane near the pedestrian walkway and stairway to the upper deck.

The stolen guns are:

1. TTN, 12 Gauge dbl bbl shotgun. Hammer type. Antiqued, 20" bbl.
2. Uberti Model1866 lever action carbine, 19" bbl..45 Colt. Antiqued with the brass not shined. Looks bad.
3. 1863 Remington "Zouave", .58 cal muzzle loader, 33" bbl.
4. Remington Jenks Navy Carbine, with Maynard primer, .54 cal. 24 1/4" bbl.
5. Warner solid frame revolving rifle, made in the1850's, ser # 249, .40 cal, 26" bbl. Have to push the forward trigger to revolve the cylinder.

The firearms were in two hard, black long rifle cases. One case has a Navy sticker with the owner's name stenciled on it and the other case has a SASS logo sticker and "Stone Deaf" label. if found contact HPD or Charlie Maurer maurerc001@hawaii.rr.com
