I'd suggest anyone who has had one if their firearms stolen would be reluctant to disclose it here on a public forum.

That info should be kept between the victim and the police/firearms authority in my opinion so as to not add fuel to the anti gun media fire.

As long as you follow the regs for storage and transport in your state I can't see why you should be punished for being the victim of a crime but I e heard of shooters loosing their licence for having their guns stolen.

Never.

Above min requirements safe in terms of weight and bolting in, deadlocks on everything, alarm, more... the works keeping mine where they're supposed to be.

No concern here.

No my gun wasn't stolen. I'm just wondering if other people's have been stolen is all.

Just as a happy note...

A mate of mine now living in Qld, was contacted a couple of months ago to be told that a rifle which was traded at LGS here in S.A. is the one stolen from him 20 years ago.

Prosecution in progress. Rifle held as evidence at this stage.

Some of our laws and documentation do work.

I know a guy who had a new friend over to his house and the friend wanted to shoot a gun ( said he never had done it before) so the guy went and got his gun keys and the 'friend' saw where he kept the keys. My friend ( let's call him joe) trusted his new friend and didn't think anything of him know where the gun safe keys were. Anyway a few weeks later joe found that his gun safe had been raided while he was at work and whoever did it had used the keys to open the safe.

He immediately knew that it was his 'friend' who had robbed him so joe went to the cops and reported the robbery (there was a full investigation) and it turned out that Joes new ' friend' had been using a fake name and backstory to get to joes safe which was full of several very expensive guns. The cops eventually found some of the guns ( I think it was in a bikie den) and the ones they had found had been modified to be easily concealable (sawn of barrels and stocks) . The guns weren't safe or legal anymore so Joe claimed insurance and replaced his guns.

So the moral of the story is , don't let people know where you keep your keys , even if you trust them. Sorry about the long winded story-telling but you get the idea

Yes, it's not only silly, but illegal in S.A.

Why would that be of interest to you? I'm smelling something strange about this post.
