There is no freaking way someone is going to leave that AR in car with knowing it’s missing. This has to be a joke.
I’d bet they were on the way to the SHOT show in Vegas.
Traveling alone is a nightmare... The guy probably had 3 other bags, a laptop, and was trying to download boarding passes on his phone as he was rushing to the gate to make his flight.
I especially empathize with young mothers traveling alone with 2 toddlers and a baby... alone. That is outrageous in my mind.
