    Due to popular demand, we've created this thread to allow you to make a public announcement if you have had a firearm stolen and wish to alert your fellow INGO members. This will allow us to keep all reports in one place.

    Reports in this thread will not be checked for accuracy or completeness and should not be construed to have any legal bearing on the status or circumstances surrounding the firearm or the person reporting it stolen. It's merely a "heads-up" so that our thousands of INGO members can keep an eye out.

    If you've had a firearm stolen and wish to put out the "INGO APB" on it, please PM the relevant information to a mod and it will be added to this thread. Pictures will be helpful, if you have them, as well as a complete description and serial number. You should also include contact information (case # and agency, name/number of detective assigned, or your own contact info). Also, please PM any new information (such as a successful recovery) to a mod so that the report can be updated (or, hopefully, closed!).

    It goes without saying that the theft should also be reported to your local law enforcement agency.

    FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Police are looking for suspects in the burglary of an Allen County Sheriff's officer's home.

    Missing was his police gun belt, a department issued Sig Sauer P220 .45 caliber handgun, a Walther PPK .380 caliber handgun and a police radio.
    A witness saw a black car parked in the driveway between 9:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Sunday.
    A man and a woman were seen leaving the car and walking down South Anthony Extended.
    Police are asking anyone with information to call Crimestoppers anonymously at 426-STOP.

    Early this morning, Fort Liberty in Avon was robbed. Fortunately, we are only missing a few guns. Due to the on-going investigation, I can't release the serial numbers, however, I can list the gun types.

    1. Mossberg 500 persuader, 12 gauge, black, 18.5 inch bbl.
    2. Maverick 88 by Mossberg, 12 gauge, black
    3. Remington 887 Nitro, 12 gauge, black
    4. CVA Mountain rifle, .32 caliber-(probably a spur of the moment thing for the thug who likes to get in the woods every now and then)

    As you can see, they did a pitiful job getting anything of great value. No high power rifles or handguns were accessible. Sorry I can't give bad guy descriptions yet.

    If everyone could keep their eyes and ears open while at the local gun stores or even pawn shops for seedy looking characters trying to sell new but potentially damaged guns, I would really appreciate it.

    The shop is obviously closed for repairs today but we are here working so if anyone needs us, call 272-1600.

    Thank you all for you support,

    Scott

There was also several boxes of 40 Ca. ammo in the safe. I hadn't figured out just how to fasten the safe to a concrete floor, or it would still be here.

    I had a Les Baer Commander stolen from me, the weekend of July 10th 2010, most likely Plainfield, IN. Serial Number LB4375. It was hardchromed with factory Cocobolo grips.

    I believe it was stolen in the evening of Saturday July 10 or perhaps on during the day as I was out running errands. It was removed from my vehicle.

    It was in a MS Summer Special holster when I had it last.

    A police report has been made with the Plainfield Police Department, Case #PP10-1592
