Don’t do it." Well and good. Probably best advice. Nonetheless, folks keep pointing out the fact these are criminals committing criminal acts to steal tools used by criminals to commit murder and harping on the possibility this might well happen. It is even included in the advice: "If you encounter a thief, don’t approach as they might be armed with a stolen weapon." Stay away from your own property because you can reasonably assume the criminal may be about to kill you or anyone who gets too close and they might use it later to kill a law enforcement officer or someone else you love. That -- by value of what is stolen -- may be a petty crime, but a crime which is apt to logically lead to murder is not really petty. If anyone had to die, don't let it be the innocent. (And no, I do not have a weapon in my vehicle to steal, so I'm not trying to cover what you would call carelessness. I just despise any who would steal other than food to avoid starvation. Their lives are not more important than yours.) David for no living thieves REGARDING:

All this has done is add unnecessary work onto the ECSO, and added more stolen guns to hunt for. How will those who didn't secure their guns, feel if someone is shot, or even killed, with their stolen gun!

Lock the doors as most of the time the thief is going in unlocked vehicles and not breaking windows out. They like quick and easy so any deterrent will move them on most of the time. If you encounter a thief, don't approach as they might be armed with a stolen weapon. You have the right to defend yourself from a threat, but shooting an unarmed person is hard to prove a threat existed, or worse, shooting someone in the back as the threat is retreating. The judges and jury have become very liberal with views and it could make a bad day in court, criminal or civil. I see several posts from people saying they will shoot or kill people for petty crimes with no obvious threat to themselves. Don't do it. If you have to use deadly force only make the following statements to Law Enforcement. 1. I felt threatened. 2. I feared for my life. 3. I need to speak to an attorney. Less talk is better because everything you say will be presented in court so keep quite and let the attorneys sort it out. You are not obligated to discuss anything at the time. This was advice I was given by law enforcement officers and 2 retired judges that are friends. Don’t leave a firearm in a vehicle at home period.
