    He cannot "prove" anyone at the dealership stole it (whether they did or didn't).......

    I know of a similar incident....friend had a Sig 1911 stolen while a tire place changed his tires.....couldn't prove anyone at the tire store actually stole it...........

    They all have signs..."Not responsible for lost or stolen items" for a reason.............

    Never, ever leave a firearm in your vehicle for any damn reason when it is out of your control..............

    Concealed is concealed.


    And those signs are just to keep stupid people from pursuing claims. They CAN absolutely be responsible depending in their actions and other factors, leaving vehicles unlocked stored with keys in them or left running by the street etc.
    It would probably cost more than the cost of an XD to win though.

    Still doesn't not make you a dumbars for leaving your gun in your car unsecured. That's what is called full retard. Atleast use a vehicle safe.

    And in his case a better camera arrangement.

    It's kind of like those signs on the back of those dirt/rock semis. Just because the sign says that they are not responsible for broken windshields doesn't mean they aren't. Those signs carry no legal weight on their own.

    I'm in the "what'a dumbass" camp. Guy has to vote dimmer'cat. Right, wrong, indifferent to the signs posted if you want it take it with you. And.... He had a gun safe installed in the truck at the time of the incident - according to the report. Too F'n lazy to take care of his own stuff wanting someone else to do it for him. Yup, dimmer'cat fer sure!

    "Two summers ago?!?" Why is this news now, or even at all?

    He's a dumbass for leaving an unsecured weapon in his truck. He's an even bigger dumbass for going public with his story. He's the one that f***ed up, and now he's telling the world he's an idiot!

    And what proof dues he have the mechanic took it? It "sounded" like the mechanic was going through center console? Sorry, but that's not definitive evidence. "It could happen" isn't enough either. Gotta prove it!

    Hjella doesn't sound like a "security expert" of any kind to me!

    The legal issues were the story actually.

    I disagree. There is no story here other than the guy is an idiot, and that's not newsworthy!
    No.

    Per your question, the legal fight between the 2 were the reason for the story still being in the news. Law suits judgments etc.

    I agree he is an idiot. Could have bought every gun SA makes by now and ammo for a long time with the money hes spent and lost.

    Sorry, but idiotic legal battles aren't news either. This one affects only two parties, and no one else cares about them or the outcome of it all...

    Why did you ask if you have the answer already made up in your mind.
