Weapons Stolen From Utah County Sheriff's Truck

NO! NOT A HIGH-POWERED SHOTGUN!

KUTV) LEHI "A Utah County Sheriff's pickup was broken into overnight and the thief got away with several items including an assault rifle and high-power shotgun.

The robbery occurred sometime between the hours of midnight and 7 a.m. outside an officer's Lehi home.

Officers say having the weapons out on the street is of great concern.

"They're restricted, for law enforcement use only. One of them was a Mossberg 12-guage (sic) shotgun with a 14-inch barrel. The other was an assault rifle, a G36 H & K," said Lehi Police Sgt. Jeff Swenson.

Other items taken from the truck included a laptop computer, a first aid kit, spike strips, a fingerprint kit, a flashlight, binoculars, gas cards, portable breathalyzer testing equipment and a camera.

Those responsible could face felony and federal charges if caught.

A reward for information about the burglary has been offered. Anyone with information should contact Lehi police or the Utah County Sheriff's Office."

So a shorty shotty with less potential smackdown than a peon-legal version is HI-POWERED because...?

Must be because it uses a guage, whatever that is. And please now. H&K's G36. Named that, because jamomatic-piece-of-donkey-turd was already taken, probably.

Note to self: Never leave a shitload of expensive gear in the car overnight. Unless of course it's no skin off my ass if taxpayer-funded stuff gets swiped.
