Man has gun stolen then returned with a note

[Whiskey_Rocka_Rolla]

"The bullets were not returned."

What happened to the brass, powder, and primers?

Ha! Good question....I'm guessing he returned them with the guns...just not the bullets. (Totally kidding...they all went in a trash can I'm sure).

 

[TXDARKHORSE361]

I would not have ever confessed to that

Agreed

You know...I'm really starting to wonder if stories like this aren't completely manufactured publicity stunts all thanks to the multi billion dollar anti gun lobbyist. You know they have the power to make anything they want happen in the news (like an AR15 "accidentally" showing up at some guys HOUSE in Washington D.C. of all places...). Stories like these help them push their agenda. I'm just saying, it would not surprise me in the least bit.

Starting to think the same.

 

[smtimelevi]

Such fucking hipocricy. If that story was even true the guy or gal takes the gun out of the car and puts it on the owners porch to save the kids... How is that a better location?

I'd love to catch somebody breaking into my car...

 

[Renegade]

Um, yeah. If I found the neighbor who did this, better believe charges are being pressed.

What charge?

Theft of bullets?

 

[M. Sage]

What charge?

Theft of bullets?

Burglary?

What charge?

Theft of bullets?

from the article.
"Interestingly, police are still looking for the person who swiped and returned the gun and knife. He or she could face charges of armed burglary, WPBF reported."

If you get into someone's vehicle without permission I think you've commited burglary of a motor vehicle whether you take something or not. LEOs can correct me if I'm wrong.

I looked it up for Texas. It requires intent to commit a felony or theft. First offense is only a misdemeanor.

The other problem is the burglar is juvenile, the4 owner could be in trouble and face charges of making gun accesible to juvenile.

I myself would not have invited the man into my life over a few bullets.

This is Texas' Definition...

(3) enters a building or habitation and commits or attempts to commit a felony, theft, or an assault.

his intent was to remove the firearm, which is theft.

wrong law.


Sec. 30.04. BURGLARY OF VEHICLES. (a) A person commits an offense if, without the effective consent of the owner, he breaks into or enters a vehicle or any part of a vehicle with intent to commit any felony or theft.
(b) For purposes of this section, "enter" means to intrude:
(1) any part of the body; or
(2) any physical object connected with the body.


Sec. 31.03. THEFT. (a) A person commits an offense if he unlawfully appropriates property with intent to deprive the owner of property.

Only the bullets could be theft.

Yeah sure,

For all we know it was his wife, who did it to to teach him a lesson.

However it would be more ironic if it was 15 year old and gun owner was charged with child endangerment.

I myself am voting on it being a phony story setup by anti-gunners trying to make gun owners look stupid.

 

[Rangerscott]

Careful there. Someone might call you "wild, silly and ...........".

I just get called a typical gun crazy dumb redneck.

Very well could be and im sure if it is its not the first time or the last that it will ever happen.

Next top story will be " Desert Eagle found in a can of powder milk".

 

[Mic]

Odd story for sure. The only lesson here is that any of us can make a mistake and not lock our vehicle and the consequences are much more significant for some of us.

 

[matefrio]

Friend of mine said "Door locks are to keep honest people honest" Seems that would apply.

By the way, breaching a car is easy, locked or unlocked if you're only after what's inside.

Cuz when creating propaganda, since you don't really know what you are talking about and others do, you can't create a fool proof scenario.
