Thieves break into Springfield home, steal 500-pound gun safe containing 15 weapons

71. Well, I disagree, but so what, they took it.

Whether it is hard or easy, it was accomplished without detection. 2 guys with a good 2 wheel handcart dolly, or a 4 wheeler could roll that sucker right out the door. Stairs could slow them down, but not by much, as they don't care about breakage. All depends on the route. On a consistently flat surface, a heavy duty furniture blanket would suffice with 3 guys, or 2 strong guys. But I'm thinking they targeted the place, knew exactly what they were after, if not knowing precisely what it contained. They came prepared. If I were in their line of work, I would have a front man who spots the marks. Maybe he works for a gun dealer, maybe at a range, or maybe he does business with the mark. Collectors would be prime targets and easy to locate, because they buy and sell. Innocent conversations can furnish all the info they need.
