To everyone in the lafourche/terrborne area: Stolen guns

[bayourunner]

Damn dude that sucks! I will keep my eyes open for you as will many here too. Hopefully something comes up for your sake.

Well that reminds me I need to make backup logs bc I only have one...

 

[gunut]

I live in Cut Off, I'll keep my eyes and ears open.

I have to go with some other posters. I think it is someone that knew you had all those guns in there. Crime rate down here isn't very high.

Good luck getting your guns back.

I'm in agreement with everyone else on this one, the vast majority of home burglaries are done by people you know. Throw in that its in cut off, a really small place, and you just happened to own a small armory. It was someone who knew your families schedule, so they knew they could take their time and drink up. That also somewhat leads me to believe it was younger kids, got any high schoolers around you? I dont think anyone else would've wasted time drinking alcohol unless it was someone who couldn't get it on their own too easily.

 

[angrycookieman]

These guys are probably right about it being someone you know. I've only had something stolen from me once, but that was enough. It was years ago and I haven't forgotten it. I hate theives. Hope you get your stuff back.

 

[LArifleMAN]

It's been over a year since I've been home, with deployment and all. None of my friends live anywhere near my house most don't even live in the state anymore. There are highschoolers that live on the opposite streets none of whom I have ever talked to or met.

Just out of curiousity, how do yall set up your log books? I'm only 18 but I've been building a collection and need to start keeping track, especially since they come and go a lot. You can PM me if you wish, cause I really don't want to hijack the thread, just looking for some info.

I had $10k worth of camera gear stolen from me in Houma last year. I loved my canon 1d mkiii
list your guns types serial and any pictures you have. They will try to sell or trade a gun from a collection of that size.
Members from the area can keep an eye out for them
sorry for your lost man I understand.
On another note watch your friends and your friends friends, it was probably done by someone that knew the toys you had

 

[Crimson]

I agree on friends/family I wasn't going to brink up specifics on my ak being stolen but it was actually my cousin who stole it.

 

[Jefro83]

Try to help

I live in lafourche and work in Terrebonne so I'll keep my eyes open for ya. Most people know I buy guns frequently so if it hits the market there's a good possibility I'll know about it. I HATE THIEVES! Good luck buddy.

Hey LaRifleman I need to know, if you haven't been to you're house in over a year does someone keep it up? Timers on lights maybe even a tv?I was a kid not to long ago and I knew the comes and goings of just about everyone in my neighborhood, also if you new you were going to be gone for a long time and have a nice collection going why no safe? This all just doesent seem right , now don't take me wrong I really do feel for you so I am not making accusations or insinuating anything but with a big firearm collection comes great responsibility.
It just seems that the people who did this had too much time, no one noticed ,no alarm no safe just doesent add up. If you would like to share some details maybe fill in the blanks but I'm sure you have your hands full and may want to give it a break.Best of luck I hope the cops catch the bastards if not I hope you do and you get some "alone" time with them.

Other than what LArifleMAN said, I also take pictures, and usually scribe my initials in a very discreet place on the gun - under the buttplate/grip plate or inside of the slide.

Ouch. My dad was into photography, so I know what that camera/equipment was worth. Was it ever recovered?

LArifleMAN, I'll keep my eyes open. I'm at the range in Thibodaux at least once a week. Like others have said, post #'s/descriptions and we can let you know if we see anything.

 

[Russo]

i'll keep an eye out... chances are if they are in Cut Off, it's some white boys on drugs...

 

[southlaems]

Just saw it on the news. They reported E73rd in Galliano.

 

[CJB1911]

I saw that as well

 

[EJAIII]

It had to be someone you know, or a buddy of someone you know who talked about your collection of guns. There is not one gun in this house that isn't in my safe. Granted, they can break into the safe if they want, but they'll have to be prepared to do so. Most theives are too damn lazy to bother breaking into a safe, and typically they're too rushed to get in and out.
I would also keep a lookout on Louisiana Sportsman.

I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am to hear of this. I hope they catch those azzholes!!!!!!

Really? Guess my mother called the news outlets. What station/organization? As for the house, it is on a 60acre piece of property that my parents house is also on, their house is roughly 8-900yds away. She goes there at least a couple times a week since some remodeling was being done for when I EAS and move back home.

What I know is gone:
State Arms 50BMG, black "Shorty" model, along with 150ishrds of ammo
A6 style 1919
2 SKS's, one chinese w/scope, one redish stocked Romanian with all matching numbers
SA new production M1 Garand
1 Bulgarian AK74 black
1 Yugo krink, underfolder, blond wood
1 French MAS 49/56 .308 conversion
1 Ruger Blackhawk 44mag
2 1895 Nagant revolvers both w/holsters
2 CZ52's one blued, one original finish w/holster
1 Ruger MKII target, blue, my 21st birthday present from my mother

More to come once I get more info from the ATF

some remodeling was being done for when I EAS and move back home.

The workers did it, case cracked. You're welcome. Same thing happened to my house when I was a kid. We were getting an addition and one of the plumbers broke in when we weren't there and stole a bunch of **** including some of my moms jewelry. Parents hired a PI and he did some serious work. Tracked down a pair of earrings to a bar tender at a bar one of the guys frequented and convinced her to confess where she got them. Dude went to jail. He was a meth head, go figure.

I was also robbed after christmas 2009. Guy(s) broke in through my roommates room went straight to my room and stole 3 handguns, some cash stupidly laying around and a 37" inch flat screen. Left all my long guns including AKs and ARs, computers, game consoles, and my roommates rooms untouched. Very sketchy, and to this day I know it had to have been someone I know because the crime was so bizarre. A pro thief/drug addict would have taken everything not picked and chose.

Sorry for your loss!!! I agree, sounds like an inside job
