[QUOTE=Flame Red;1590004114]Oh boy, I would not post this on any Firearm forum. You will be endlessly flamed.
Not necessarily true. I carry most of the time with a permit. there are places now that put signs up that restrict carrying your firearm into that u could take in before.
If I am caught by surprise, I have no choice but to leave it in my car. good reason to carry a inexpensive reliable gun.
A gun is a tool. If it is not accessible it is useless. it was locked like a responsible person should do. If a thief wants something they will get it eventually. the only thing you can do is make it hard for them so they get it from somewhere else. He could have been at the store with his gun at home and someone could have broke into his house and stole it. take a look at your windows in your home and think how easy it is to defeat the latches on them.
only point of the thread is learn from his mistake.

Good to know the vulnerabilities of the box. It shouldn't be difficult for the dealership to know who was working on your car. They probably won't tell you, but you could threaten to file a police report (especially since it's a stolen firearm) if they can't "retrieve" it. The idea is to give the guy an option. He has the choice of returning it to the dealer (anonymously to you) or risking the police knowing who worked on your car and questioning him. He obviously doesn't have to admit to anything, but it was a crime of opportunity and likely not something he'd want to be questioned about.
I'm done rambling now.

Surprised at some of the snarky comments here.
FYI CHL holders encounter situations and places where they cannot keep their sidearm on them.
At times like these we are left with no choice but to leave the sidearm in our vehicle.
And before all of the "leave your gun at home" comments a CHL holder does not always know every place they will visit when out and about and if every place allows for concealed carry.
