Metro Press Release, April 19, 2023- The MNPD strongly encourages Nashvillians to lock their automobile doors, secure any valuables---especially guns, and remove the keys.
So far this year, 349 guns have been stolen from vehicles in Nashville, 19 were taken from autos just last week. The total number of guns stolen this year in Davidson County is 452, which means that 77% of guns stolen so far in 2023 have been taken from automobiles.
Going hand in hand with vehicle burglaries is vehicle theft. A review of last week’s stolen vehicle reports in Nashville shows that 42% of the automobiles taken (28 of 67) were easy targets because the keys were left inside or made available to thieves.
Just like guns taken from vehicles, these stolen autos are also routinely involved in criminal activities, including carjackings and robberies.

Maybe we need common sense criminal reform such as locking up violent people like Justin "unjust" Jones in the "ole pokey."
