This irritates the crap out of me!

Ok a little back story:

I have been into guns most of my life. I have been shooting them since I was 3 or 4 years old and now I am 27. So it made sence to me to join the military and become a small arms repair mechanic. Over the last couple of years I have been looking for a 1911 .45 that suits my needs. I finally got one about 7 months ago. Well the thing about 1911s is they are highly customizable. Well the other day when I was on my 1911 forum, I scored a set of free custom grips for it. To say the least I was stoked. Well my wife's birthday came and her mom sent her some money in the mail so she could get herself something nice. The letter never turned up. Being the guy that I am I thought it may have just been lost in the mail. Well today it has been 9 days since my custom grips have been sent as first class mail. I called the post office and they confirmed my fear...mail thief.

What the ham sandwich could go through someone's mind that they would want to steal (an army veterans and his wife's) mail? Well I one upped this dude and my mailbox is under surveillance and I will catch them in video so they can go to jail and have a great time with a large but fair man named Bubba. I hope they realize this is a FEDERAL crime and it is no joke when I go ahead and press charges on them.
What if it had been a few thousand dollar snake? Man I'm angry!

Man that's terrible.

Wow that sucks. Some people are really scummy. Id suggest what id do to them if i caught them but id get another infraction lol.

Stake out your mailbox. Shoot first, ask questions later hahaha!

I can not stand a theif!!!!! It is not yours don't take it, go work to get it yourself!

Oh man, that's annoying. That kinda stuff makes me sick. What makes people think it's okay to take things that don't belong to them? I hope you find this person, and I hope they get what they deserve.

That's too bad, hope you find out who the culprit is...

What 1911 did you decide on getting? I had my eye on the Kimber Super Match II, but couldn't justify the cost. Ended up with the Kimber Tactical HD II, solid firearm.

Yeah I called the cops and they will be coming by. I also think I know who it is. And that's the hard part because it is a bunch of kids. I have caught them in my mailbox before and now they are gonna have a nice interview with Colorado's finest. I have talked to the parents and the kids and it still happens. They are lucky I didn't catch them red handed. I'd probably be in jail if I did. But like I said regardless of age I will press charges and I will go to court over it.

I went with the Metro Arms American Classic II in matte blue. It is a great little shooter and didn't break the bank at $500 with all the transfer fees.

Not to sound like a angry gun nut but if this had happened to me I would be inclinded to show him the business end of my 1911 A1 .45. But as a retired Marine I will applaud you for doing the correct thing and get him on tape and hopefully they will lock him up with his pal Bubba for a while :mad:

Trust me it took every fiber of my being not to go knocking on doors till I found the little punk. But that high and mighty article 15 isn't what I need when I am 9 months out. Then I will be a civilian again and I can camp out the mailbox with my rifle. Go ahead punk make my day.

I really hope you catch the kids or at least have the cops talk to them and explain the severity of the crime.
