Two Louisville Gun Shops hit in two days.....

[indiucky]

This morning at about 4:15 am someone drove a truck into 111 Gun Shop in Louisville....The SWAT team showed up as they thought the perps were still in there...They are at large as of now.....The night before Tilford's Gun Shop in the south end was hit as well...A stolen corvette through the front....

The owner of 111 had just dropped off two transfers to me yesterday...I have not spoke to her this am so I know not how many guns were stolen...I came in this morning and my alarm was acting all squirrely.....After clearing the shop I contacted the alarm company and they are sending someone out....We had bad storms last night as I was leaving and I believe the storm may have messed with the alarm...All of my signals were going off but the alarm company never got an alert....

I may be camping out here tonight....What a way to start the day....

Same MO...stolen vehicles, backed into the shops at high speed.

Please be careful, Rick.

Do you have anyone that can camp out with you and offer backup?

This makes me wish I was closer...and not a wage slave.

I cannot stand thieves.

Please be careful, Rick. I cannot stand thieves.

Will do brother....It'll be me, Bushmaster, and Smith and Wesson.....And some Dr. Pepper and cigs....

Seems to be a fairly common method of robbing gun shops. Perhaps steel poles deeply embedded in the ground within the framework would help with this issue?

Probably impractical though.

I have them...Painted yellow....Knock on wood they have yet to have seen "action"....Not in the frame work but in front of the shop about 3 feet....Unless they are going to use a Harley or a little skinny hippie car I should be good to go...

Alarm company is coming today to see what, if anything, the storm did to my alarm...

Is there a back parking lot? Might not come in through the door.....

 

[Scuba591]

Sad to hear this is happening with greater frequency.

So the man from Uranus asks whether I am a back door man????

No...I am good to go out back...There is just not enough rev it up space behind the shop....

 

[indiucky]

On a side note ain't 'vettes made of fiberglass???? That corvette looks in pretty good shape for having run through a front door...

Lord I even hijack my own threads....

 

[PaulF]

I have a GREAT idea!!!

I'll "hold" all of your guns until this thievery nonsense blows over down there...

...my plan is flawless. I'm not a gunshop, so they'll have no idea who to hit, and I'm nowhere near Louisville, so the thieves will have no idea where to begin looking for your stuff.

shhhh, don't overthink it...this it what friends do!!!

Too much work for one guy. You take the L and N frames and I'll graciously take the K and J frames. Gotta help a brother out!

The situation reminds me of an incident years ago. A friend owned a Dairy Queen and someone stole the keys right before closing. Instead of paying a premium to have the locks re-keyed late at night, we camped out with a couple Mossberg 590's and 1911's.

I knew I could count on you two lol.....

 

[bwframe]

I'd forget about fighting with thugs who have nothing to lose. While it would be way cool to stop and or capture these heathens, the risk is too high. That is what insurance and multiple 1080p cameras are for.

I hate to see this. I too hate thieves, hopefully the local PD will find them quickly.

 

[robbman]

I'm suprised they aren't requiring walk in vaults to secure wepons. It takes 8 hours to core drill into a real vault.

 

[indiucky]

The alarm company just left and $100 later the alarm system is back up and running...The storm must have discombobulated my sensors...BBI is here and we are discussing these robberies..He said this happened a couple of times up around Indy..

I can't stand a thief...

 

[rhino]

Ugh!

I hope this isn't just the start of more of the same. Any chance they're connected to the burglars who hit Gander Mountain in Indy?
