Check backpage.com too.

Listings for guns don't last very long on Craigslist since they're one of the many 'prohibited' items to sell there, but it won't hurt to check.

I was at Lupe Tortilla at 249 and Spring Cypress

Not even with a flashlight? I assume that people looking for stuff to steal out of vehicles at night might have a flashlight.

They are pretty dark, but I guess with a flashlight you could have. I was parked in a pretty busy restaurant parking lot. Using a flashlight would have been pretty obvious.

Either way, nothing I can do about it now except wait for them to get caught.

Screwdriver to the keyhole. Simple as that.

If you're looking for a cheap and quick replacement basic carbine: http://www.centerfiresystems.com/ardpms-01.aspx. These are DPMS carbines, used, being returned from use by contractors in Iraq. They're only $449.99, which seems pretty cheap, even for a well used one.

Good luck with recovering your property.

Thanks for sharing the post! I've been plastering this all over the web.

I went over the top in replacing it. I picked up a Patriot P308 and a Nightforce scope. Also ordered a Saker 7.62.

I just finished this build a couple months ago. I picked it up from local shop on Friday Aug 1 after getting the barrel tightened. I went home to wait for my wife (45min), and then headed out to meet family for dinner. I figured my sisters boyfriend would want to take a look at it so I didn't take it out. It was in a FDE Voodoo rifle bag sitting on the floorboard of my F350. We were at the restaurant for about 2 hours. When I opened my door.......a clean floorboard...everything was gone. We called the Sheriffs office and went through all that. Now we just wait and hope it pops up at a pawn shop or any other FFL. They also got my 5.11 backpack I use for work. It had my iPad, Passport, TWIC card, International immunization card, eyeglasses, etc.... We think they were trying to steal the truck and noticed the items and decided to take them instead. There's no way you can see in my windows at that time of night. Oh well, what's done is done.

Please keep your eyes open and notify local LE if you see this rifle!

Here is a picture of the rifle and the serial:
