It normally takes well over 24 hours for the backup battery on a burglar alarm to go dead.

These guns should be required by law to be locked in a gun safe.

Happened over 2 weeks ago. Would think LE would get the news out so people could be aware of more idiots with stolen guns running around. Also of chainsaws for sale. Outdoor, solar video cameras would help in this case.

Too bad the company did not have a plan in place for security when the power goes out. Now all the thugs have a heads up to thieve.

I bet they didn’t bother to fill out the federal paperwork for those either. A good citizen would have. Wait. What?

The reason guns are such a high value target for thieves is because guns laws make it very hard for criminals to acquire them, legally. IF gun owners were required to responsibly secure firearms, it would be extremely hard for criminals to acquire firearms. Of course, without federal laws, we will always have situations like chicago and indiana, where criminals can acquire guns next door.

Funny thing is bud , I can tell you’ve never purchased a firearm in California. It is required by law to lock it up and every single gun purchase requires the filling out an affidavit requiring you to have a safe. That still doesn’t stop thieves. Many just steal the safe and then take there time opening it. Criminals are not stopped by gun legislation.

I just looked it up. Under prop 47 if someone steals a firearm valued less than $950 it’s a misdemeanor. (First offense with no priors). And the officer can only write a ticket, not even haul them to jail.?. If someone steals a gun it should be prison time! There’s no good intent in stealing a firearm. These bozos made it way past the 950 mark though so if they ever get caught they’re screwed.
What’s the odds of thieves being caught here in humboldt? How many thefts happen compared to perps caught? I’m betting it’s pretty low. Seems like it’s like taking candy from a baby.
If the punishment is worse than the crime there would be less crime!

Wow that’s ridiculous! Even for prop 47. How the hell could that have actually passed? I haven’t met one person who isn’t blown away by it passing.

Prop 47 passed because our state reps deceived us saying it would save millions and release non violent criminals. Instead, it released many career criminals who graduated to violent criminals and manipulate the system; and the room it made filled up as fast as they were released. 47 & 57 and sanctuary cities are ruining Calif.
