I doubt guns are at the top of most thieves list of items to steal. They are easy enough to obtain legally and illegally. Not counting kids stealing them from parents gun cabinet. Stealing enough assault rifles and ammo to launch a mass shooting might require more effort than its worth smuggling all of that out of someone's home. |
Well you're right in that the trend is showing a decrease but still, I don't ever want to be "that guy".
"Yandura reported that on Aug. 12, a day before the council meeting, an AR-15-style rifle was reported stolen from the backseat of a person's pickup truck while it was parked in the driveway of a house on Becket Drive.
The victim, who lives in Alabama, had parked his vehicle at the house on Aug. 7 before he headed to Maryland for a vacation, according to police.
When he returned Aug. 12, he noticed the $400 rifle, kept in a military case, was gone. The victim told police his car was unlocked the entire time he was gone, according to a police report."
"This year alone, dozens of guns from unlocked cars have been reported stolen in Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs and Buckhead, according to spokespersons from each department. But data shows the numbers of weapons stolen from cars are on a downward trend."

Yeah don't leave valuables in an unlocked car readily visible to onlookers.
