Granted, criminals can be pretty fucking stupid. Best approach to this if the thief was skilled would have been to decode the combination (a fuckton of those three-wheel combination locks have nasty weaknesses that allow rapid decoding) and non-destructively open the case, remove the contents, put something inside that matched the weight, and lock it again.
Link to an example video. Different techniques can work on different locks depending on how shitty they are; for some you just pull hard on the right part while fiddling with the wheels until you feel a loose spot on each. That video is two minutes long and the guy spends the first minute scrambling the combination with the lock facing away from him in preparation.
Based. I see Rich claims his guns were "found" within 3 hours of him posting the photo. Convenient.
I thought about this -- either we're talking about a thief too stupid to flee with the loot, or one smart enough to consider that in 2021 a gun case might have a GPS tracker on it. Maybe even a geofence to set off an alarm if it leaves the property.
Those locks are so insecure that me and my friends would break them (thus revealing the code for next time as well) when we were actual like 8yo children. You can just feel for the hollow part as you turn the discs. In high school when we started using Master padlocks on our lockers, I learned who to break those by feel and sound when I forgot my combination. And the actual case he has it in isn't so secure aside from the lock as it looks like the thief just used a rusty knife to cut the lock out?
I guess he took the Eraserhead comments personally.
And dumb people too. Seriously anyone can open locks. Except really, really dumb people.
Ah yes - what a secure gun safe this looks like. It looks like the shit you would keep poker chips in, ffs.
Even misdemeanor DV means you give up your guns. And if you don't, you go to jail. This "I don't know where my gun is" shit isn't going to fly. Seriously where is it? Is it somewhere the child could get it? This is not shit you say in family court. Obviously he should not be allowed to have custody of a child when he admits there's a gun somewhere in the house, possibly loaded, he has no clue where it is though. Who the fuck says this in court?
A while ago he mentioned he signed a lease for a new place. Guessing he’s downsizing.
I love the idea of watching him move into smaller and more pathetic quarters until when he finally just shoots himself in the head.
He can't even do that now, though. Someone stole his gun.
While I imagine it varies from state to state, I know that in California, ANY verdict of violent behavior comes with you losing your guns for a few years, not just DV. I mean, Commiefornia and all that but it makes sense to me not to let convicted violent people have guns.
Still would be better if his guns were stolen without him discovering it until he went to kill himself, opened up his gun case, and there were only bricks inside so he just groaned and bashed his head in with one.
