It was abandoned on PRIVATE PROPERTY, couldn't be more simple.
How was it abandoned? Anyone in the "know" (that's me) knows it has at least 24 hours before it can be towed. That little orange tag they put on the window??? That means they are going to tow it if no one claims it. I should have just had MY PD explain that to him and you!
Besides, that little twerps stunt cost his dealership a $38,900 sale and MORE! I'll NEVER go back and neither will anyone else I know and tell. They're known for joyriding and hot rodding Mustangs they are working on too! You lose!!
What charges would you have faced if the guy had drove somewhere and shot and killed someone with your gun?
I think you would have been judged as abetting in the murder and gone to jail.
No matter how much you try to justify your actions you were just plain wrong to leave that truck unlocked with a gun in it. Keys in the ignition is secondary.

I wouldn't face any just like if I left my front door unlocked for five minutes and he walked in and swiped one. He would be though. It's an automatic felony to steal a firearm from a licensed person. No matter how all you try to slice it, this was twelve years ago. It wasn't in NYC for Christs sake. Population USA 42,000 at the time. You don't get into someones vehicle and drive off with it. Had he not seen me madder than a hornet, he would have hit the street with it I'm sure. I should have had his ass arrested and FIRED for it. He got off lucky!
That reminds me of the hobo working at WAL-MART. He see a woman's purse in the cart as she leans over to pick up something and grabs it and runs. It's ok, he works there and hasn't left the store with it! Get real!
Surf any automobile tire-related website these
days, and you’ll likely see something mentioned
about nitrogen inflation. It’s becoming a hot topic.
We’ve gotten a number of inquiries lately
concerning American Honda’s position on this
practice.
When it comes to inflating automobile tires, it’s
our position that ordinary, dry compressed air—
which is about 80 percent nitrogen already—is
the best choice. That’s because it’s more readily
available, and the benefits of using nitrogen
simply don’t appear to outweigh those of using
compressed air.
The practice of inflating tires with nitrogen really
isn’t anything new; it’s been around a long time.
It’s been commonly used on aerospace vehicles,
commercial and military aircraft, military vehicles,
race cars, and even heavy off-road construction
equipment. Here’s why:
• To meet rigid safety and performance specs,
the required tire inflation pressures are often
very high, especially in the aerospace industry.
The tire inflation pressure for NASA’s space
shuttle, for instance, is a whopping 315 psi!
• Nitrogen is an inert gas; it doesn’t combust or
oxidize.
• The process used to compress nitrogen
excludes water vapor. Water vapor can expand
if the temperature climbs above 212°F.
• Tires inflated with nitrogen leak slower over
time than those inflated with compressed air.
Automobile tires, on the other hand, are subjected
to an entirely different set of conditions. Here’s
why inflating tires with nitrogen offers no real
advantages:
• Although tires inflated with nitrogen leak
slower over time than those inflated with
compressed air, they still leak and need to be
reinflated to maintain proper pressure. If you
can’t find a place that offers nitrogen
inflation—and there aren’t yet all that many
places that do—your only option left is to
reinflate with compressed air. Doing that
drops the nitrogen purity.
• Nitrogen offers no better protection against
road hazards such as cuts and punctures. So
no matter what you inflate the tire with, you
still need to check the condition and pressure
of the tires at least once a month as
recommended in the O/M.
• Tires that are inflated with compressed air and
properly maintained offer the same fuel
economy, tread wear, and ride comfort as
those inflated with nitrogen.
• Nitrogen for automobile tires is produced by
nitrogen generators, which typically get about
95 percent purity. But to actually get that
level of purity into an automobile tire, you
would have to deflate and inflate that tire with
nitrogen several times. If you’re not careful
doing this repeated deflation and inflation
process, the purity level winds up being closer
to 90 percent (compared to the approximate
80 percent nitrogen already in compressed
air). Because of this, those claims of less
pressure loss with nitrogen aren’t valid.
So here’s the bottom line: Nitrogen is an ideal gas
for inflating tires in aircraft, military vehicles, race
cars, and heavy off-road equipment, but when it
comes to automobile tires, it offers no apparent
advantages over ordinary, dry compressed air.
Our advice to you: Just stick with the air you
breathe.

Who would have been responsible if a child had gone inside your unlocked vehicle, found your gun and injured or killed himself?
Back when I owned my 2005 GTO, a friend of mine was looking to trade his 06 Cobalt SS/SC in on one. We found one at a close dealer and me and another friend (who owned a 06 GTO) went down with him.
They wanted a redic amount for the car, if I recall they were asking 30k for an 06 GTO with 18,000 miles in 2008 (Car would have stickered for 33k). When he said he wasn't interested at that price the salesman tried saying the color combo was very rare, his friend in California said there were only 8 made in this color combo. The color combo? Black on Black.
It just so happened that my 2005 GTO was Black on black and our friends 2006 GTO was Black on black. We also knew 3 other Black on Black GTO owners in Pittsburgh. Weird they only made 8 and we could account for 6 on the spot. lol.
Black on Black was the most produced color combo btw. haha.
