The weapon stolen was an M4, they mentioned it very early on when it first happened.

I have no recollection of a specific model/caliber ever mentioned in any article I read or posted,i posted myself the theft original article,the safe recovery follow up article and this mornings teens arrested article.I have no recollection.

I believe you ,the M4 Carbine is a shoter barreled lighter weight version in the .223/5.6mm caliber that is the same as the M16/AR-15

If one was keeping a rifle in their car they'd want the light weight carbine model.

It was stated on channel 4 WBZ the cbs affiliate the day it happened. I’m sure they have not wanted to publicize it over and over again, it’s not a good look!

I don't have TV, only Netflix and no local or cable TV ,I read the Globe and necn.com online.

Yeah no worries. You can get pretty accurate content on the web via the local news affiliates

Getting news is no problem online ,I really miss watching the Red Sox live though.

I have a digital antenna. Recommend getting one for local broadcasts

So sort of like digital rabbit ears for local channels.

I'm in the Berkshires ,an hour west of Springfield and an hour east of Albany and I don't know if digital rabbit ears go that far and I don't think Pittsfield has a TV station.
