Car break-in. 2 loaded mags stolen

[MCgrease08]

I forgot to lock my car this morning when I went into work at 6 am. I have a work pass that allows me to park in a downtown Indy parking garage.

When I came out at Noon I realized the car was unlocked. It smelled like cigarette smoke (not a smoker) so I knew something was up. Nothing seemed to be missing until I checked the trunk. All of the pockets of my get home bag were unzipped. Someone had grabbed my camp knife and two spare Glock 19 mags which were loaded with 9mm self defense rounds.

They left two .38 cal speed loaders and the rest of the contents. They also left the 1000 rd case of range ammo I just picked up and haven't brought inside yet.

I'm kicking myself for leaving the car unlocked. Fortunately the pistol was with me, but I'm angry that I may have just armed a scum bag with 30 rounds of premium JHPs. Now waiting for officer to arrive so I can file a report.

Ugh. Almost certainly one of the homeless folks in that area. Finding an unlocked car to sit in while smoking and drinking a beer is a common practice, I'm told. Glad he wasn't enterprising enough to try and grab and stash the case of range ammo.

Wonder if there are cameras in the parking garage to see who stole your magazines?

 

[JohnMcClane]

that sucks dude. I hate that feeling once you realize things are gone... glad it wasn't worse...

 

[MCgrease08]

Ok. It looks like I jumped the gun. After the officer arrived I started to do a better inventory and found the mags. I had stuffed them into a rolled up pair of socks in case someone ever did get into the bag they wouldn't immediately find them. It looks like the plan worked, I had just forgotten where I hid them.

That makes me feel better, although I don't like the idea of someone going through the trunk. Still a wake up call to always double check to make sure the car is locked.

 

[chef larry]

Good news to hear the magazines aren't missing.

Gotta love when your plan to hide your gear works so well, it fakes you out!

Glad your plan worked. Believe it or not they make skivvies with faux skid marks. They are actually dual layer and there is a space to put in thin things like cash.

Why pay for faux skid marks when the real deal is so easy to make?

 

[churchmouse]

If it was a homeless guy he may have left his skided out skivvies and taken yours....they really do not care.

because I prefer to NOT handle anything with REAL skidmarks..

So you're the type that peels them off and leaves them on the floor. Nice.

 

[churchmouse]

if you throw them against the wall and they do not stick....well, good for the day at least.

How do threads devolve into this?
Carry on (with clean drawers).

Only after I have had a double bean burrito the night before. Even then I burn them for the sake of all humanity.

I mostly just try not pooping myself but I can see the value in your method as well.

Glad your mags are not up to no good but also hope it wasn't Big Mike and the boys in your car doing a soup kitchen.....

Just turn 'em inside out. Good to go.

Lol. So funny. I do this all the time. I'm still missing a boot knife that I put in a safe place....

 

[Trigger Time]

Good thing you didn't have to bug out and need spare mags
