The 'alert' that Lucinda posted is important to any who might have their credit card information at risk due to the theft.
It was smart of her to do that.

However, if she is serious about having 'the community' watch out for the stolen rifles...descriptions and serial nimbers are needed so we know what to look for.

That's true MC,

We're actually a relatively small community and those guns will be very easy to spot. I think it's just short matter of time before those bandits get caught.

Crook has good taste in rifles but not real smart about being inconspicuous.
They will stick out like a sore thumb.

When the no good SOBs that stole the guns, etc. see what they have and then try to sell them, it ain't gonna be pretty! I think panic will set in and the guns will be destroyed or dumped somewhere. Any gun shop/pawn broker that has some zero wanting to sell a SHILOH SHARPS is calling the cops because the shop owner is either a. A GOOD GUY or b. A BAD GUY WHO THINKS IT IS A STING BY BATF/LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.

I doubt that the heist was pulled off by someone knowledgeable about black powder guns and SHILOH SHARPS in particular. Anyone who would possibly buy one of these guns will know something is really wrong and what the guns retail for and time to call the police.

Maybe I'm wrong--just my take on this! The Bryants are all nice folks and deserve way better than this. Insurance will cover the truck and merchandise, etc., but nothing will remove the "violated feelings" from this bad experience. I was burglarized in 1978 and I still remember it vividly! If you've been there, you know what I mean; if you haven't, count your blessings and keep the safe locked!

I just got a mental image of some ******* pitching those guns into a lake. I'm glad I just woke up and not trying to sleep thinking about that. I'm really sorry to hear of this. Maybe they will find it all without incident. Wishing I know, but maybe.

First I have heard on this. It took place in KC, is that correct? I will pass the word if so to some folks I know.
Just kind of confused, on some of the responses.
