That is a tragic loss indeed.
That was my ‘First’ , that i owned. You never forget your first revolver.
It was also HIS first, and he was very proud of it. It hurt his heart to lose it.
I don’t think there is a punishment that is “bad” enough for a thief. Two things I can’t stand are liars and thieves and over my lifetime, I’ve noticed they are interchangeable.
I pray daily these two will be caught. If they try to pawn the swag, they are in deep doo-doo...everything has serial numbers.
Now, how separate, individual “parts” of an item are required to be in one “container” for that “container” to be considered to be containing the “whole” thing?
