He said that he was away from the truck for around 5 ½ hours. The victim returned to find his Bluetooth headphones lying on the ground beneath the driver’s door.

When he checked inside, he discovered that someone had stolen his keys along with his Glock 17, 9mm handgun. He estimated his loss to be $400. The case currently remains under investigation.
