Saying "i am getting my gun and going to retrieve my stuff" guarantees that 6-8 police cars will converge on the location within minutes. Once there, they will apprehend the thief since they are there already.

Then you’re fucking comically unlucky, there’s a shooting and some old enemy offs someone at the same address and flee, minutes before the police gets there.

Some pissed off riff-raff family member decides that you look like the killer.

You’d better have a top notch lawyer in your family or prepare to spend lots of money hiring one.

I love getting diverted from the violent domestic call to turn up to a theoretical firearms call and find out it was just someone trying to be clever.

Sounds like a great way to get charged with making false statements to the police or something along those lines.
