I thought I had the guts ducks of security to my shed, necessary because my gun safe is in there.
Got up one morning, opened the shed locks and door and as I switched on the power noticed that although still locked the door handle of the gun safe was slightly askew.
Back inside the house to fetch the keys, opened the locks (2).....safe completely empty. Eleven firearms stolen just like that.
Police called and arrived to record details, fingerprint dusting carried out, it seems that I was only one of a number of firearm owners hit in Northern NSW at that time but all the same modus operandi...disable the twin motion sensing lights above the door, (one stands on the others shoulders, tape over the sensing element) pick the locks, re lock and leave no trace.
Gave up on the idea of replacing the firearms (luckily), 12 months later they returned to help themselves to 2 honda generators, drills, tools, around 100 fishing lures, baitcast reels, Garmin gps, after over a year I am still noticing things missing.
Luckily my detector and other valuable were in the inside spare room, they would have gone otherwise.
Its pretty bloody disheartening, especially the shoulder shrug attitude of mister plod.
