I lived in a "nice" neighborhood that was just a stones throw away from an interstate highway. One morning the local Sheriff knocked on my door and asked me to check on my cars because someone had come thru during the night and opened all the unlocked car doors and ransacked them looking for valuables, guns, videos or whatever. It seems several guns had been stolen and my car, although obviously gone thru, had nothing of value taken from it. (Mayby thats because I don't own anything worth stealing?) Point being, that there are people who will look iinto your vehicle, try the handle, and if possible will take whatever is handy and easy to get, be it a gun, camera, CD's or whatever. A locked center console or glove box may or may not stop them. When I do travel during the day with a gun in the car, it usually comes out at night and into the house with me. If the OP's gun was not on the seat or otherwise in plain view his first mistake was not locking the vehicle when he left it unattended. That is just my experience in this cold, cruel world.
