In my country, burglers usually avoid stealing weapons. If you break in and steal some money or jewelry, your case comes into the pile with the others. If you steal firearms on top of it, your case is put on the top of the stack with a bunch more people assigned to it.
But your case just proves it: American gun owners are rather neglient when it comes to securing their weapons. Most likely because the both the training and requirements as well as the question on responsibility is basically just not there.
In some countries, if you own a firearm and it gets stolen or lost, or someone else takes it, you simply lose your licence or ownership permit.
