Where did you hear that or do you know the victim?

Friend posted a house being investigated due to a robbery in ocean pointe. Thing in ewa beach people know people. It doesn't take long to find out who did the crime.

Thank goodness we have mandatory firearms registration here!  5-0 will solve this caper in a couple of days!!

Firearms not insured unless you report to insurance and have them appraise... at least that how it is with my insurance company... something like firearms, jewelry, collecitbles/art - all need to be itemized and appraised so they can raise your premiums accordingly! I guess you should check with your carrier to make sure... or get a really good safe and alam

Jeez...would have thought 30 guns being ripped off would have made the local news at least. Do you know if they belonged to a law abiding gun owner or if it was criminals ripping off each other?

:shake:I'm holding my breath. .. am I blue yet

Must've been a cheap gun safe that it was so easily broken into. I don't understand how you can spend the money on 30 guns, but not invest at least a decent amount into a safe that will protect that investment. It's like buying a $20K Rolex and putting it in shoebox with duct tape.

Had some guy over here soliciting for frozen steaks yesterday and always in the back of my mind they could be casing houses.

No safe is capable of holding up to someone with the know how and the right tools. Most gun safes I have seen could easily be broken into with the right tool. Plus it depends how you locate the safe. The door is probably the most heavily fortified. I'd go in the back or one of the sides or top...If it is permanently built into the house or better yet sunken into a concrete foundation.. much harder to break into

I never understood those hand carry type safe's For fire yes.. but why the lock. If I was a thief i'd be pretty stoked you took the time to put all the good stuff in one convenient location!

Good one! you really made my afternoon

Shit 30 guns.  Hope insurance covers that, at $500-1500 each thats $15k - $45 if not more.  Gotta be someone knew that they had that many and came with a car.  Kinda hard to carry 30 guns and run down the street.

Wow that sucks.

Maybe if you have that many guns, it's not a good thing to put it all in one place. 

Got to spread it out a bit. If any of you have too many guns in your home, I can hold some for you for safe keeping.

USAA is really good about personal property insurance. They don't need to appraise them. You can manage it all online. They do need the make model and SN but the deductible for my policy is $100. I have other things like my wife's wedding ring, camera, etc. Their regular renter's insurance only covers up to $2000 in guns. So if you have more than $2k (like say 30 guns would be) it'd be wise to add them to a personal policy. Huge bummer for whoever had this happen to them. Also for about $200 you can get a four camera IR system that records to a 500gb DVR. Multiple layers of protection/deterrence is the safest bet IMO.

Most of the gun "safes" folks buy are not "safes" at all, but rather Residential Security Cabinets (RSCs) and almost none are burglary rated. That being said, even some of the best safes only come with a burglary rating of 15-30 minutes, which means the safe can't be breached with hand tools for 15/30 minutes.

If you have many guns and a safe or two, you should also have a fire and burglar alarm system with a monitoring service.  Insurance is a must, but preventing the theft of firearms is vital.  Stolen weapons in the hands of criminals have societal costs well above the personal financial loss.
