Much more likely the door was unlocked and the key to the mount hasn’t been seen since 2021.

They broke the window but I'll bet a whole US dollar the rifle wasn't locked into the secure mount.

​

Getting it out of the mount would have been difficult if it was locked, unless the whole mount itself was removed.

They broke the window? Or the window was broken? I know what I’d do if I came back to my unlocked cruiser and found the rifle missing.

All I know is when they towed the cruiser one of the windows was broken.

I'm not an expert on police issued lockable mounts but if they're anything like the standard gun lock you can pick them with a slotted screwdriver or hair pin.

Perhaps the teens are fans of the Lock Picking Lawyer on youtube!

It probably is pretty easy to pick, but shit stealing a fucking carbine from a state trooper's cruiser would have my hands shaking.

You'd think with how much the LPL does they'd make better locks. Nope, he even slapped one open....

Didn't he do a video one time about police vehicle locks? I thought I remembered the lock being magnetic, so all you had to do was put a magnet up to it to unlock it. Could be remembering someone else as well.

Is the broken window definitely confirmed? I didn't really see that in any of the reports and it seems like they'd just explicitly say that.
