Billy they have my condolences.  I know what it's like to be stolen from and worse yet by my own so called friends whom I was attempting to help.  It sucks big time.  

I'm not "blaming" the owners I just don't understand the logic they used when they left the guns unsecured.  Many of us have watched as Alaska and Anchorage even more so has become a den of thieves. 

Of course the thieves are to blame, no argument there; but do you understand that there's more thieves than you may have considered?  That poverty tends to get followed up by theft.  That even hard working people have been tempted to steal some white collar criminals & bank employees can be thieves.  

So even if it wasn't this pair in particular this store still would have been robbed; & it's very likely that the owners may know the people who hit them personally. We can only make our best attempts to thwart theft.  Where guns are concerned you have to treat them like cash & hope for the best.  I do empathize with MVS.
