I will be up all night tonight watching people walk by.
As to the above. I ALWAY lock my truck. (I think the battery on my remote is going dead) It was secure in my center console where no one can see it. I usually take it with me but my wife does not like to see it so I left it in the truck last night, fully thinking I had locked the truck.
As for the liabilty issue. It has been reported stolen to the police with the Serial number. I am no longer liable.  Vermont has NO carry law.
I won't be leaving the next one in the truck anymore. It will be on me all the time from now on. |
Yes by reporting it you are no longer liable for criminal charges but still there is the risk for civil charges which can be worse than the criminal charges.
Locking your truck does not make it safe, even an in-experienced person can be in and out of there before you could react to an alarm.
As for the people who leave them loaded in there house it is no diffent and is still not safe. A gun, even unloaded, should only be accessable to you at all times. So in the courts eyes if a civil lawsuit was filed yes you can still be found as negligent.
I am really not trying to be a dick, just hoping you will be a little more carefull next time and that they find whoever did this before anything bad can happen.
