GILROY, Calif. (KGO) -- A frightening home invasion robbery put a Gilroy man in the hospital and potentially put dozens of guns in the wrong hands. The attack took place Sunday night at the home of Gary Wise on Rucker Avenue.

"According to the victim, three male subjects entered his home, tied him up and they were able to get the security code to his safe," Sgt. Rick Sung of the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department said.

Wise's neighbor did not want to be identified by name but talked to ABC7 News. She called 911 after Wise managed to get himself free and walked over to her home at about 6 a.m.and was swollen from the attack.

"He had blood all over his head and his eyes popped out, you might say, they were closed but way out," she said.

The neighbor said Wise told her the gun collection was valued at $2 million and he had as many as 75 weapons. She had seen them on two occasions.

See, stupid gun safes.

If he had them loaded and propped up in the corner, would have been a different outcome.

P.S. This is an estimate by the next door neighbor, who I doubt is the Massad Ayoob of the neighborhood.

DL-44 Blaster

Capacity 25 shots
Range 50 meters (optimum)

The DL-44 was powerful and a highly modifiable and accurate blaster pistol. It packed a heavy punch compared to other pistols without losing accuracy, which made it a prime choice among many groups and individuals, ranging from smugglers and bounty hunters to military and the Rebellion.

Aside from being a powerful and reliable sidearm, the weapon had other attractive features such as a vibration system built into the handgrip that pulsed gently to alert the user that the weapon had only five shots left, and the ability to charge a bolt twice as powerful into a capacitor without damaging the sidearm. Like most handguns, its gear typically included a motion-sensitive scope and galven circuitry that allowed the pistol to deal more damage with a normal energy drain and fire rate.

Riding past the morgue.
Here is an interesting theory from teh :monkey:s own first responder:
I have yet to see a stolen and torched car that had no personal belongings in it and had the Personal Lic Plates removed before torching. I am willing to bet he had some cash liquidity issues. A $2 million insurance check would probably solve a whole lot of problems.

Wanna bet we hear more on that in a few weeks
The only question would be, who did the homeowner get to beat him silly?
