I went with a friend to the 1500 yesterday and when we came out his truck along with about seven other vehicles close to the truck had been broken into. Someone had gone through and punched out the keyholes to gain access the the vehicles. We got lucky because we didn't lose any firearms. One guy near buy claimed he lost a very nice Ruger. The was a cadillac esclade that had a window shattered and a GPS and laptop stolen. We filed police reports even though we only lost a $20 pair of binoculars.
I know it's a rough neighborhood but honestly when we paid $3 to park inside a gated area with security we expect our vehicles to be secure. My friend's insurance will cover the busted key hole but it's upsetting that they have poor security and it doesn't matter because they do not pay for the stolen items anyway. I'm very disappointed and may not attend the next show because of this incident. We told the police that they had better catch the thieves for their own sake because sooner or later a 1500 goer will catch them and lead is gonna fly. They agreed with us and said that it concerned them that shots might be fired if the activity continues.
