    Antique guns stolen from Museum, Lee's Summit, Missouri

    Sad. If you see anything that may be connected, let them know.

    He looks like he is either stoned, or just naturally dumb.

    I am worried that these will turn out to be too hard for him to sell, and instead of seeing they get back, he will bury them or they will otherwise end up destroyed.

    who may yet be kicked out of the Republik of Kalifornia for owning too many firearms.

    I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain, to eat only vegetables!

    They need to provide images and serial numbers to the Gun Forums, no one would touch them then, and they may even get them back.

    It would have been nice if they had included an description of the stolen firearms. If they come up for sale and someone recognizes them, they could at least get back their property.

    They need to catch this guy and hang him.
    That's what they did with horse thieves in the old days.
    Looks like a millennial, so no loss.

    Whats really sad is there are collectors ( not many) that will buy them knowing they are stolen for their collection knowing they can never show them. They may nit surface for 20-30 years do to this.

    When Teddy Roosevelts handgun was stolen from either Sagamore or Oyster Bay it ended up in a ditch. Fortunately before too much damage it was found and restored. Then returned to the museum. But as one poster mentioned it can go one of two ways. He realizes that no will buy them so they get trashed or a collector knowing what they are will buy them and sit in his collection for years. I have no sympathy what so ever for thieves. Whatever they get it's on them. Been a lot of stuff stolen from car ports down here. These folks need to eat a load of buckshot to teach them the error of their ways. Stuff like two behind trailers, tractors,lawn mowers, mini bikes and those 4 wheeled short bed trucks like those sold by Kawasaki and others. Where does all this stuff end up?. Some say mexico others say other states. Frank

    My guess would be the kid is stupid, has no idea about the value of the guns and will throw them in some river so he can't get caught. Kiss the guns goodbye.

    Really good surveillance image. Just a matter of time before they catch him. Hope they get the guns back in good condition.
