You have to wonder how that happened. I'm assuming the truck was locked. I'm assuming your dad didn't go out to get something and left it unlocked. But if it happened at night, how did they know this stuff was in the truck? Like, these guys are walking around looking in cars with flashlights or something? But then I'm assuming the stuff wasn't lying in the open, like on the seat or something. Lots of assuming. Sorry this happened, must have been a long day.
I'm wondering how it works replacing a stolen suppressor. You have to get a new tax stamp, applications, etc. from scratch?

Atf actually has to send you paperwork to take the suppressor off your trust. Yes everything was locked up and in the console or under the rear seat. I have learned several things.
#1 Thugs have been marking tires with stuff that glows under a black light when the vehicle is at gun shows, gun stores ect. This is everywhere. They are suppose to be doing it everywhere. All a thug has to do is drive around any neighborhood with a black light if someone in another town marked the tire they know what it means. It's a universal sign for thieves.
#2 Do not use your key fob in parking lots. Thieves can get the signal up to 100ft away and use it when your not around.
#3. The key hold on most newer truck can be unlocked with just a small screwdriver.
Unfortunately, if you never signed any documents about the policy or made a payment, and it has been a year, I think your SOL.
My auto insurance will cover any vehicle I purchase for several days before it is officially added to the policy, and insurance policies are typically valid from the point where you set them up, but are terminated within a few days if you don't sign the documents or make a payment.
I actually did have an auto insurance company drop my coverage without notifying me over a technicality about the truck being registered in another state and me moving. I told them I would switch the registration and call them back. Two days later when I did, I was told they had dropped my coverage as I had violated their policies, yet no one had told me at the time. I was livid and tore them a new one, as I had been driving uninsured for those two days, luckily nothing happened. I changed companies, but would have fought with them if I had to file a claim during that time period.
I'm sorry for your loss, but it sounds more like you had a conversation that involved "yeah, I've been meaning to setup a renter's policy", rather than actually getting a quote and confirming it.
Hopefully the guns turn up, and it is a good lesson to the rest of us.

The agent actually admitted he didn't finish setting it. He had quoted the price and everything. I had told him to go on with it. One thing I did learn was for a renters policy you do not need serial numbers off the trailer. So I think he wasn't familiar with the policy I was inquiring about. He even told me the other day he forgot to go get the numbers he wanted off of the trailer.
I guess the the moral of the insurance story is do not trust or take the word of your agent no matter what your relationship is with him. Ask ask again and double check what you want is getting taken care of.
