I have somehow misplaced or have had a pistol stolen from me since this weekend. Its a Springfield XD 40. The last time I saw it was in my car in my driveway Sunday around lunch. Since then I have torn the house and all my cars up looking for it. I have a hard time believing that it has been stolen as I live a good bit off the road and neither us or nor our neighbors have ever had any problems with scumbag theivery. I feel like I placed it somewhere and havent came accross it yet. Question is do I call the cops and file a report now or do I wait?

I had that same problem a few weeks back. I tore the truck and house apart and was wondering about calling the cops when I remembered it was in my boat.

I had it happen before. I wasn't fortunate enough to have misplaed it. I came out to go to work and the door to my Jeep Cherokee was open as was my center console. I had a little CZ70 .32 truck gun in there and it was gone. I reported it stolen.

Give it a day and see if you remember what you did after you settle down a little. If you are sure thats where it was, call the PD and get a report. If they find it or it is recoverd you will get it back. You have the serial number?

Is it in your holster on your belt? Kind of like looking for your sunglasses when they are on top of your head.

Not to lecture anybody but You guys need to be more careful. If I am not wearing it or using it my guns stay locked up. My kids are all used to guns but you never know who will find a gun left laying around.

Did the same thing about a month ago, could not find one for two days. Went to pack for a trip to DC with my sons school and found it in the side pocket of my bag from where I had went to the camp the weekend before. That would of went over big in DC. I too was sure it was not stollen, just me, but it does make you fill uncomfortable.

I feel like I remember bringing inside but have had no luck with a search. My wife and kids claim to not have seen it either. I just really wish it would turn up.

I dont need to be lectured too. I've owned and been around guns my hole life and this is the first time this has ever happened. My kids now about guns and most of mine stay locked up. But I have a few that are never locked up for a reason. This is one of them.

Most of mine are in a safe, but you always have to have a few you can lay your hands on in an emergency.

BPS, good luck finding it. You'll remember exactly when you put it there when you do.

I guess you know best. I have been around guns my whole life too but I cant understand how someone doesnt know where they left a loaded gun.

Thank God I found this gun yesterday. Tucked nice and neat in my turkey tote that was in my car the day it went missing. It's s rather large tote that must be carried with 2 hands. Do I guess I opened it up and put the gun inside to carry it in the house and never thought about it again. Getting my stuff ready for the dove hunt I opened it to get some clothes out and bam, there it was. I just knew it hadn't been stolen. I guess in getting old.

Glad you found it..

Not to lecture anyone but what good is a locked up gun gonna do you and your family if a thug kicks in your door? There are good reasons people have to not keep them locked away at all times.

I hope none of you rednecks only have 1 hand gun to protect your family

I've got a hi-cap Glock mag lost somewhere in my house.

At least I have the Glock and many more mags to go with it.

Hope u find I'm still missing a smith 500

You guys that loose your guns need to be lectured. Yes, I have misplaced mine in a nice safe place also, and I also needed a lecture. I was pretty hard on myself.

I left a S&W 38 in the top of my brothers guest bedroom closet in Fl one year and found it the next year. Didn't even know it was missing. And I don't need a damn lecture from anyone.....

I've never permanently lost one, but I did hide one so well that I couldn't find it for a while.....
