Inactive Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka - Deadbeat (emphasis on "Dead") founder of Something Awful, forced out of his own community, on his second divorce, stuck his dick in crazy, "Birth Giver"

I’m not encyclopedia brown but why would someone take the time to break open a case at the scene and not just take the case and open it later.
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.

Can you elaborate on the lock weaknesses, out of curiosity?

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 would assume Lowtax broke the case himself to launch a new tale of woe, but I think he's too physically feeble to do it. Might strain his back, after all. So if he didn't fake it, can we assume the gun case was just sort of laying in a corner of the garage and the garage door was open? What are the odds someone's been casing the joint, keeping an eye on the slob in the McMansion with the flashy sports car who only comes to the door for food and booze deliveries?

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?

Locks in general just keep honest people honest

Looks to be in the middle of moving?

e: Granted, if he put the SA logo on his case, the movers might have just gotten afraid that he was a terrorist and ripped it open.
Ah yes - what a secure gun safe this looks like. It looks like the shit you would keep poker chips in, ffs.

Also "yeah the case is only like 3 feet wide, I could just take it over wherever it's going personally (because it's a fucking gun) but nah the movers I've never met with or interacted with are probably cool".

An extremely good display during a divorce/custody trial, nothing says responsible parent like "I'm not sure where my gun is at the moment". Or nothing makes a judge more sympathetic than to hear the person who "physical and emotionally abuses women" owns a gun.

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?

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.
 
I guess he took the Eraserhead comments personally.

And dumb people too. Seriously anyone can open locks. Except really, really dumb people.
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.
 
We all knew that Lowtax didn't have the spinal fortitude to stick to his guns, this is just one more instance of that, just more literal. I'm surprised his gun was in an actual case though not just a random drawer or cardboard box somewhere underneath a ton of old merch.
