One of my good friends had his full-sized HK USP .40 stolen out of the locked center console of his pickup truck during church services a few months back.......at our church in Grapevine, in a low-crime area, parked where there is both foot and slow moving vehicle traffic often even during services, and parking attendants. The thieves also stole his jacket.

His truck is a F150, about 2 years old.

Oh man, that just sucks! I doubt we'll see it out this way, but I'll pass a link to this thread on to my son who works in a local gunstore, so they can keep their eyes open for it. I have a tan Voodoo Tactical soft case for my DMR rifle. I bought it in that color because the interior of my SUV is tan, and I thought perhaps it might blend in better if I wanted to keep the rifle with me when I'm driving around, so it wouldn't get stolen. But something all along has made me leery of actually keeping it in my car....unless I'm taking it to the range or something....because I was worried that exactly what has happened to you might happen to me. I'm considering an AR pistol with one of those SigTac SB15 stabilizing braces to carry in a tennis racket case. I think that might be a lot less temptation to the opportunist.

BTW, I just now came across this and was about to post it when I saw your thread. If you're looking for a cheap and quick replacement basic carbine: http://www.centerfiresystems.com/ardpms-01.aspx. These are DPMS carbines, used, being returned from use by contractors in Iraq. They're only $449.99, which seems pretty cheap, even for a well used one.

Good luck with recovering your property.
