Interesting Crime Pattern

CWB reporting what the media won't - that most guns in the hands of criminals are the result of other crimes, not law abiding citizens:

• An unusual crime pattern has emerged in the South Loop, where thieves have broken into eight vehicles and taken firearms from seven of them. Granted, there are a lot of guns in Chicago, but the odds of finding seven guns in eight random cars seem high.

  Police said the burglar targets cars parked on the street and enters by either breaking a passenger side window or opening an unlocked door.

  Exactly how the burglar would know that there would be guns in the cars is unknown, unless the victims left the weapons in plain view.

Seven-out-of-eight hits would get you either banned in a casino or entry into a Hall of Fame.

More likely, thieves are staking out areas where they know (or guess) that law abiding CCL persons will offload their weapon into a trunk or car safe or hide it under a seat when they board the nearby CTA or enter a businesses with a "No Guns" sign. Every hit is within two blocks of Cermak, so it almost certainly an organized crew.
