Moving to or from a place, on or off the U-M campus, thefts like this can occur. Not firearm theft, but theft nonetheless.

It makes me shutter to put myself in his position. I pray that nothing nefarious happens with the stolen weapon. This would be a nightmare to me.

Wow, that was fast, within 45 minutes the gun was gone. Was the permit just for the gun, or carry? Can't trust anyone around a duffel bag or back pack. Sad!
