One hopes the rifle has not been hacked up the low lifes tend not to care for the weapon they use one hopes it will be ok but kudus to you for getting it back and I would tell the NRA to shove it if they wont pay its probably in the super fine print H H where it states " We will pay out only if you can prove it was the NRA's fault it was stolen." thats the lawyers for you.
You are probably right Jim as we have a park my son wheels his bike across to get to the tracks through the bush and we live on a main thoroughfare connecting to the highway so easily seen when wheeling it home its just I guess most of us here at some point have had bad things happen and it irks one just how many times you can turn the other cheek and move one.
If any one has been robbed or their home burgled like us where they trash your house the feeling is like nothing else gets right to your core because you've worked hard to get what meagre possesions and lifestyle that makes you happy and then the air theif comes in and just demolishes all your faith in humanity.
My friend dropped in to see me the other day and well I was not in my bestest of moods and pretty much unloaded on him my thoughts of humanity and what should happen to these theives as I said 3 times a victim of a*holes I'm over it yes it was not my bike but they came onto our property they also broke into my shed and got a real good look at whats in there which I cannot afford to replace if they stole them, insurance only pays so much.
Yes it will keep happening and I sincerely hope none of you experience it nor any of your family, keep eyes open for anything that changes and keep your 1911 close with an RIP round in the chamber & ready to rock........
