FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. - Here is a puzzling case out of Fayette County where investigators say thieves broke the window of a man’s pickup truck while at the gas pumps. We’ve heard of cases of thieves opening unlocked doors and sliding into the car. But this time they actually broke the glass to get inside.

They are just helping ole Beto out. The sticker says, *Come and take it*.

Pfft Armatures !
We once had every truck broken into parked in the dark unlit section at a fenced in gated parking lot at a heliport in Morgan City.....
With a frigg'n 24/7 security guard service....Keeping watch...hahaha

In other news water is wet.

Yeah, what’s bad is, if you tried to explain to Joe Bob why it’s not a good idea to put that big white ‘My Glock is in the console’ sticker on the blacked out rear glass...

People just don’t understand what a grey man is and how to protect yourself from those with harmful intentions.

Worst one I’ve seen is the stick figure family trend.
Now everyone knows you have a wife, two kids (and their gender) and a dog.
Too much intel for burglars and other n’erdowells....

Seems like we had a member on here years ago that was LSU PD. And he told about they had more vehicle burglaries on vehicles with dark tinted windows. It as like if they were that dark there must be something worth stealing in them.

See it does pay to advertise

I had my toolbox in the bed of my truck broken into once after putting a "Jefferson Gun Outlet" sticker on my rear window... They didn't break into my truck, just the toolbox... in BROAD DAYLIGHT and in the middle of a pay to park parking lot no less. Just used a crowbar or something on the lid to pop it up and bend the small bars holding it closed. It took all of 2 seconds to fix.

Now, what moron would ever believe I would leave a firearm in a metal non-weatherproof toolbox in the bed of my pickup truck is beyond me. Then again, it could have just been a coincidence... because the same kind of morons around with all of the construction downtown that break into the sites to steal all of the tools may have thought my truck belonged to a construction worker and possibly the toolbox was full of tools.

In reality, it was full of surveillance cameras... brand new in the boxes... and guess what? They never touched them. Like I said... morons.

In closing... I removed the sticker... hasn't been touched since. Was never touched prior to putting the sticker on either. That was the only sticker I ever put on my truck (no "Come and Take it", no "GLOCK" or "Springfield"... not even Magpul). I constantly see "advertisements"... even an NRA sticker can be one... if you leave your firearm in your vehicle! Isn't that like Rule #2? or #3? haha.

Come on people!

That is why I have ACLU, OBAMA 2012, Hillary 2016, and Warren 2020 stickers on my car.

Haha! That could say a lot about the owner of the car, but mostly, ‘I need free ish, because I don’t have ish and don’t wanna work for it!
