Evidently,Taylor and Robbins was a closed older shop that made custom guns.

January 28, 2013 - Police are searching for two suspects who got away with about 50 firearms from an old gun shop.

State Police in McKean County say two burglars entered the former Taylor and Robbins Gun Shop on Prentisvale Road in Otto Township and got away with $75,000 worth of firearms.

The two suspects reportedly fled in a vehicle.

The business has been closed since 2006, but some inventory has remained in the building since.

So, a business that has been closed for almost 7 years has had $75,000 worth of firearms just sitting around? No one bothered to clean the place out or move the stuff? That sounds almost as if someone wanted it to get stolen.

I agree. Extremely irresponsible at least. And average value of $1500 each, so they weren't 22s and used shotguns.

I suspect Schumer and Feinstein. Ain't nothing they wouldn't stoop to, and we know they think they're above the law.

Smells like an inside job. I wonder if they still had insurance covering those guns...

My guess was inside job too, but not because of the insurance. Since they're in the store's books, even though they're years old and out of business, I would assume they can't just sell them without getting a new dealer license. But now that they're "stolen" they can sell them without a transfer, which won't show up assuming they're rifles sold face-to-face. And then if the buyer ever resells or does a check on them, they come up stolen and the original seller gets them back again for free.
