>Public service announcement: While I was in a Denver gun store today, my car
>was tagged on the wheel in the parking lot. The gangs do this on wheels or
>bumpers at gun stores, shooting ranges, gun shows etc. Later when you are
>parked at a restaurant, hotel, or other location thats less well guarded or
>under video surveillance, other gang members spot the marker and break into the
>car for a quick gun grab. This is so RAMPANT in San Antonio where we were for
>a National shoot this summer, the police chief of that county came out to brief
>the 400 participants of our competition. Too bad three teams had already
>been victimized the first day. This is the first Ive heard of this in Denver .
> Please pass this info along to your 2nd amendment list.

>This next comment from a Gunsite instructor:
>I dont know how widespread this is becoming , but the info regarding the NSCA
>Nationals in San Antonio is correct, as all of us who compete in sporting clays
>know. Competitors there were having their vehicles marked with a small adhesive
>dot on the rear license plate or rear bumper, then followed for miles and having
>their vehicles quickly and efficiently broken in to when parked for lunch etc.
>Some crews were working the parking lot at the Nationals itself. 27 high end
>shotguns were taken there recently. They know when 1400 shooters with high $$
>competition guns are in town.
>BTW I shot with a young man who was trying out a new gun at the Nationals. He
>and his father lost all their guns and equipment while making a quick stop for
>lunch at a BBQ place in Corpus Christi the month before.
