RIP, Brother. We shall take the watch.
For everyone: let this be a multi-faceted lesson. 1) Don't leave firearms unsecured in a place/manner that could result in such a situation. 2) Criminals lie and fake compliance and do all sorts of repugnant things. We must always assumed and be prepared for the worst. Cops must do things in a certain way to maintain control because we cannot predict when things will go completely sideways.
