Great news!  Now, buy a safe and bolt it to the floor if you haven't done so already.

No juicy details except for one of the kids living directly across the street from. That's F'd up!!! But ya, did get a good safe and bolt to concrete with 3/+ anchors. Time to start collecting more!

Freakin awesome, glad it all worked out.

Kick ass!!! But the real question, did the cops let you slap the parents?? Just wondering..

Glad you got it back, Malaho Ke Akua!!

Im not saying there are, but plenty of people around here would be willing to  swat a "fly" off their face.

This prompted me to do a quick Google search on how effective my gun safe is.     The info out there seems to suggest that  any safe can be cracked with time. However, gun safes require a lot of time to crack and more often then not, need to be carted off so that the thieves can take their time. Home safes, however, can be cracked in place with common tools such as pry/crow bars, sawsalls, etc. in a short period time.  When a gun safe is used, most of the reported losses stem from having the safe carted off. Using a gun safe and bolting it to the floor is therefore strongly recommended to prevent the loss of properly secured firearms.  Very little thefts of firearms secured in gun safes have been reported in situations where the home was protected by an audible alarm.

If you are using one of those bio safes with a fancy key system or something similar at bedside,  that's essentially the same as using a sturdy lock box.  You can probably kiss that goodbye to thieves either because they can be easily carted off or broken into with common household tools.  While bolting them to the floor improves your chances, that only works if the thief doesn't have a lot of time in the house.  If you leave your handgun in one of those contraptions while you're off on a vacation, you can kiss the firearm goodbye if someone breaks into your house while you are out. 

Frikken kids need to spend some time in the Federal detention center.

yeah.  After their anus gets stretched out a bit, they might think twice the next time they wanna fucking do something stupid.
