please notify your local shops and tell people that might know to keep an eye out.

lotsof other stuff pinched but its all just stuff, the rifles are important and would like them back.

no good at all
will keep an eye out

edited the above, as one of the rifles is safe and sound at another persons house thank #### cos its near impossible to replace

still pissed off cos my .270 was my 21st present from my dad and some mother f#cker scum bag shit eating cnut has stolen it!!

should put a add in your local paper, "Huge reward for return of firearms"
then when the desperate mate of the guy who pinched them turns up with them looking for a reward, tell him if he steeps foot on your property again youll shoot him...

if they turn up they'll be from a crime or from a warrent thats been executed somewhere and they are usually a bit butchered up or knocked around by then

how much other stuff have you lost?

Dam that shit about the .270 an all the others. Glad the had no bolts in them tho
Good luck gettin them back

any 4wd stuff we should be on the lookout for

x2 hope they left the missile and cruiser alone...

Gutted

still goin over the house looking for missing stuff but lots of damaged shit in garage cos they couldnt pinch it they just wrecked it ........................ yea thats what i thought to

Thank fuk you have a good insurance broker!!!!!

So for all of us fire arm owners benefit, how did they get at the rifles??

You gotta seriously good safe, in a bloody secure place from what I remember, did they rip the safe off the wall and walk off with it, or did they crack it open and take the rifles out??

Sounds to me like they could have been pretty young and inexperienced thieves, especially to take firearms that are worthless to them for blackmarket re-sale with out the bolts, and to trash the place for fun as well...............

wrecked the dead locked door and door frame with a big bar to get into the gun closet then prybared the safe open. Buffalo river 5 gun safe...wouldnt recomend it, looks like it popped open easy as for them.

a lot of stuff they did shows me they are seasoned house robbers but then they left the bolts so tells me another thing about them, they are thick and....

I'm sure we all know it would look something like your first post........

" F*%K *#%^ <*(@ C*NT ?:#* *##* **#$ , ASSH*%E "


feel for ya bro, buy a pittie to keep ya ridgy didge company, train him like the natives do and nobody will come near ya house

never heard ya dog once when we called in a month back

My mate was just robbed again in wanganui stole all his playstation shit for the second time! again no insurance for the second time! Not the same as loosing a 21st present but still it farks you right off (was robbed with him the first time in welly).

Have to watch they don't come back once you've replaced all the shit with insurance time to train that mutt of yours in how to deal to arseholes nuts (hope its a lock jaw!)

If you got photos and serials drop a sheet at huntfish, hamills and guntraders at least. We get given info sheets for stolen rifles all the time but Sadam is right and they usually turn up after police raids and they aren't often in good shape. Given there were no bolts they might turn up discarded somewhere but the semi might never show up. Do people on here have their rifles valued for insurance purposes. Seems a much smoother process when making a claim if you do have a valuation sheet.

dead right with the valuation, my kimber has a new replacement value of about $3200 so insurance company insisted on valuation to streamline any claims made, alot of gunshops will sell bolts without a serial number or sighting of the firearm though and they can be purchased from manufacturer
Had a m8 who was broken in to recently and had his bolt stolen but not gun as it was at gunsmith being glass bedded, he purchased one straight from ruger and not a question asked

It varies from store to store with individual components. Ruger has sent me parts direct also and I've seen a lot of shops that don't sight licences for parts such as bolts. Unsure what the rules are there. If it has a serial on it I generally want to sight a license. Don't wana turn up on target again
But yeah most shops have whats called 'the little blue book' and it comes out yearly i think with most makes and models of rifles and valuation details. Shop owners don't mind doing this for you if you ask em. Especially good if its for irreplacable firearms ie heirlooms or collectors pieces.

Sounds a little like they knew what they were after (but not a lot about it) and were determined to get it.

I had a shotgun stolen reciently and when the cops came round to look at how it was taken the cop told me that he just has all his guns scattered round the house as the gun safe is the first place they look. Not a bad idea even if it doesn't align with the current laws haha

thats one of the problems of the current gun laws, the days of having your guns tucked away under the batts in the ceiling or concealed in some other clever hiding place where no one will find them are gone, now you have to have a cabinet sitting in an easy to find place with a sign saying "guns in here"

everyone I know thats had firearms stolen have had their cabinets broken into

my cabinet is hidden away as was told by the cops that cabinets seen are too much of a temptation

Yeah concealment seems better than containment. Guns in a magrack behind a curtain in a cupboard is sometimes better than a bigass safe that draws attention. Its always going to be hard to stop someone who knows what they are after. A-cat security is just to prevent opportune thieves from getting ahold of firearms really.

as much as thats a good idea, if the average joe done that or got found out, bye bye everything.
he sounds like a good cop tho, far too many anti gun cops,polititions, and others around the place.


wops, do the police have any leeds yet?

nah man i seriously doubt i will ever see them again. they were wearing gloves so theres no prints anywhere. im not holding my breath and the prints guy said he wouldnt hold his either but was going to try getting dna samples off prints smudges where the sweaty gloves were... yea right.

making a list slowly of whats missing and my list is getting bigger by the hour, everytime i go to get something and its not there its like "ohh you fukkers!!" add it to the list...

Make sure you get one that's connected to the security company or calls you, alarms just make thieves move quicker and annoy the neighbours.
