Why do people do this?

Hell, it makes me uneasy just thinking about having to make that call to the Police to report that a bag of Pistols (or whatever), with ammo, etc. that had been sitting in my car, unattended, was stolen, and to know that they'll probably end up on the streets in the 'wrong' hands.

The article didn't say, but I wonder if the car may have been "targeted" (i.e. someone saw the owner put the duffel bag full of guns in the car), or was it just a random hit. It will be interesting to see whether or not the thief tries to get rid of them, they being "traceable," theoretically.

Last in and first out....that's my Range day policy. Would never leave a bag overnight filled with guns and ammo. Now if I was keeping a truck gun in there, it would certainly be out of view under the seat or camo'd somehow. What a dumbass.

Auto break ins are on the rise here in California ever since they passed a law stating that any petty theft under $950 is now only a misdemeanor. So "smash and grabs" are skyrocketing, especially in tourist areas like San Francisco.
