This guy aint to bright. His truck was probably covered in gun stickers too.
Happened after the big gun show in PA.

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. - December 22, 2008 (WPVI) -- Police are looking for the thieves who stole 23 high powered guns from a firearms dealer.

It happened outside Kildare's Irish Pub near the Valley Forge Convention Center.

Upper Merion Township Police say the victim went to the bar last night for dinner after the gun show ended. The thieves broke into his pick up truck and stole a variety of weapons including machine guns and sniper rifles.

The value of the stolen guns is more than $200-thousand.

I'm going to call B.S./Insurance/Black Market sale on this one, simply because I dont know that many arms owners, who are aware of the perilous state of arms in this country, would leave stuff like that in a car outside of a bar.

Doesnt pass the sniff test.

Agreed, or this reaches a level of stupidity that I find difficult to even imagine.

I'm thinking that it's more likely they followed him from the show.

doesn't pass the sniff test? really? How many times has this happened to the FBI?

My guess is that they knew exactly who and what the were hitting.

 

[Arioch]

Don't discount stupidity. Unfortunately, it's a lot more prevelant than we would expect.

That was my first thought.

Every time I get dinner at a bar someone steals my quarter million dollars worth of firearms.

Maybe I should quit drinking?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I'm sure the only reward these guns will be used for is a bank robbery, home invasion or drug den defense.
