I live in a community of townhouses. I hope they find something, but who knows.

Sorry, that sucks bad. Do you think it was related to the phone call or just bad timing?
Did you have a return phone number to give the police?

With no safe it makes it a heck of a lot easier for these snitheads. Amazed that they could figure out were you lived with only your cell number. In a townhouse complex it opens up the possibilty that one of your fine neighbors could be the thief as they could have been scoping you out for a while as they may have noticed you carrying your weapons in and out of the your unit.
Just glad they didn't get any of your smokes, as you posted elsewhere. That would have been the icing.
E, be extra careful...take care LastritesFSN

You should make sure to watch your local craigslist and ebay in the next month+!
I have done a lot of craigslist transactions and always meet at a public place like a mall or starbucks. There are too many thieves/crooks out there to invite them to your house. Last year... just 15 minutes from me, only a few blocks from my in-laws, a family guy posted his ex's diamond ring on craigslist only to have the "buyer" come to his house, tie up the family and shoot the guy in front of them taking off with the diamond and a few other things.
Beware with any private type of sale...

I am sorry this happened to you. Pissed me off to hear it. When they find this guy you should have a large herf so your brothers can give him a visit.
It only costs about $30 to get an address online from a cell phone number. Be careful who you give that information to. I'm glad nobody was hurt. Sorry you lost so much property and likely peace of mind. I've had a house broken into a couple times. It can really leave you feeling violated.
Best advice is walk softly and carry a large caliber firearm. It's a slight variation of Teddy Roosevelt's famous quote, but it works. It's especially a good idea for the Mrs too. You might carry, but you're not always there to protect her.

Sad state of affairs but this is what the world is coming to. Glad no one was home or hurt.
Hard lesson to learn, be very cautious with dealing with strangers.

I am definitely going to be more careful in the future. I want to say this was because of the ad I posted but I also think it may have been coincidence. Who knows. I just want my guns back and off the streets! The good thing is the police are working hard since there were loaded firearms involved. Big mistake on my part and a lesson learned.

I despise thieves with a vengeance, and hope that they get a belly full of lead when (not if, I know better than to think that!) they break into someone else's home. And I understand why you want this resolved, too. If (and I'm not saying that you were) you were negligent in securing your firearms, and they get stolen, then you could be held liable in civil court for that if those guns end up being used in a crime, God forbid a homicide. Good luck!
