      They packed everything up and left to my new place. I looked and noticed they took my pile of things I was going to take in my own vehicle.

      At the new place they had already unloaded everything. Truck was completely empty. It was late, I was tired and stressed out and didn’t think they would know it was a firearm.

      Called the sheriff the next morning and asked them to try and get it back. They tried and couldn’t.

      Gun was locked and had its own built in lock with a unique key. The manufacturer said they wouldn’t issue a key for it now that it’s reported stolen, and drilling it out would likely be difficult to do without damaging things.

      Lesson learned. Basically keep that stuff locked to your body especially when other people are around.

        Is this a common thing? I’m Aussie so I have no idea about guns.

          I don’t think so. I replaced it with a target pistol that doesn’t have this feature, but it’s not scary looking so it might not have the same regulations . If I were to buy a true replacement I would look for a similar design.
