It really worries me this kind of stuff.
At bare minimum everyone should be doing this: https://transact.nzta.govt.nz/transa...ess/entry.aspx

The short answer is No.

But I'd bloody like to know why they chose my place and was it chance they found one of my safes?

Are they living close by, maybe connected with a neighbour.

Did they follow me home from the range?

Are they snooping on here?

Did someone tip them off or

Was it just coincidence.

All I know is we had an attempted break in in my shed two weeks before the successful break in.

I believe the second time they broke in they found keys to my ammo and reloading cabinet. However my reloading presses could also be seen from two different outside windows.

Once they saw the ammo they went looking for a safe and found one of my rifle safes. they tried to use the cupboard keys to open the rifle safe. Then I believe they broke into the house looking for the safe keys, rifled through all the draws in our bedroom and scattered all our stuff about but left two other bedrooms untouched.
only a few electronic items were stolen along with jewlery, cash and two more sets of keys.

None of the keys stolen were for my safes.

The offender arrested has admitted the burgulary but wont say who was with him or what they were after.

So we don't really know if it was planned or if it was coincidence.

I'm leaning towards coincidence as they didn't appear to have brought anything to break a safe with.

Either way now the Mob know I own firearms.

I'm hoping they will be back ...... because this time we are ready for them.

Cheers
