I don’t know if the is the correct place for this post but on Wednesday I woke up and realized when I got to work at 6am that my Glock 17 Gen5 and a little over $200 cash was stolen out of my truck. Does anyone have any experience with firearm theft and recovery that could lend some advice? I called the police as soon as I got home from work and filed a police report with the serial number and everything but if there is anything else I can do to increase the chances of recovering my pistol please let me know because it was my first pistol and has a lot of sentimental value to me. Also before you say it I know it was dumb of me to have left my pistol in my truck. I usually don’t leave any valuables in my vehicle overnight. Side note the pistol was locked in the center console which I am still confused how they got in because there are no visible pry marks.
Other than calling the police, dont leave it in your vehicle. Most of the time Dbags are only looking for what is visible and easily gotten
Not much you can do. Keep an eye on Armslist and gun forums and social media market places. No sense in checking the pawn shops, they have their inventory checked by the police by law. All you can do is keep an eye out online and through the grapevine, and wait/hope for it to turn up.
Make sure you learn the lesson here, even if it was the hard way.

My Dad got a gen 2 G17 stolen out of his truck several years ago, and the sheriffs department told him he would never see it again. They were right too. 
If your a member of the NRA, you have up to $1000 stolen firearms insurance. Look it up, and file the proper forms.
IF and it's a big IF you have called the nra and jumped thru all their hoops and activated the insurance.........just because you are a member doesn't mean you are covered ......... has to be activated.........
your absolutely correct. That's a little caveat that most don't know.
A friend had a Glock stolen out of his truck and a couple of years later he got a call from a Chicago detective telling him his gun was recovered from a gang member there. He got his gun back.
Stolen here in OK?
