Crawfordsville gun shop robbed

[lovemachine]

I just found out the new gun shop in Crawfordsville was robbed over night. I don't have a link or anything just yet. The electrical meter was destroyed. And the front window was broken in. I haven't heard what was stolen yet. But from what I hear, it's pretty bad.

Cripes, only been open since May!!

They had bars on the window... wonder if they did any good?

 

[Dawall]

Hope they catch them quickly and make a example out of them.

That sucks!







(...and for the record, I do have an alibi for last night.)

Did it have something to do with bacon?

Why would they destroy the electrical meter?

 

[lovemachine]

Knock the power out I guess

Why would they destroy the electrical meter?

Perhaps in the hope that it'd disrupt power so that alarms / security video would be inoperable.

 

[Squib]

The tack sharp crimminal mind probably thought taking out the box would disable the alarm system? As though an even sharper mind would not think about that battery backup. They have been open only a couple of months, I hope they come out of it. They need a good shop over that way.

that really sucks! If anyone gets a list of what was stole could you guys pass it along so that we can keep an eye out in our shop please?

It always does.

Why would they destroy the electrical meter?

In the hopes their alarm system didn't have a battery backup?

(Although even the cheap ones typically have them.)



I drove by there an hour ago and didn't notice any damage to the front of the store. It just looked like they were closed.
I didn't stop and snoop around but would expect some visible activity.

Waiting for an update.

I just heard they only took one gun. It was $4000. I think it was that machine gun he had in there.

 

[Cru]

That sucks. I feel for the owner.

Well there it is ... a machine gun involved in a crime ... dang it where are those brady people when you need them .... oh wait ... IT was the victim of the crime ...

yes ... that is supposed to be sarcasm (hopefully i did that right) ... I hope all is recovered quickly - especially the shop and the shop owner ...

That means they knew what it was and had it scoped out ahead of time.
Probably walked in the the front door earlier in the week to "look around".
They might have even handled it while in there.

Why would they destroy the electrical meter?

Swift guess would be to take out the alarm system and cameras. A good system would have backup power... but not everybody has a good system.

 

[Gabriel]

That was a burglary, not a robbery.

I grew up in C'ville. What new gun shop? Where is it located?

 

[infidel]

That's too bad, hope everything works out. I try to go in there every couple weeks, but usually don't buy anything. I was excited when it opened, but am NOT excited about $20 AR mags and $30 pMags. Ammo is stupid high, too. Don't they realize that if they're stuff was reasonably priced, I would freaking be their biggest customer? Making 1 or 2 bucks off a $15 product is better than making $0 off of a $30 one, especially when a lot of $15 products would be moving.

Oh well...

Across from Lemming Supply on 136 east of town.
