Good memory, Esox Lucius. From the original thread “Tell me about your Ruger MKII”

> [@Tell me about your Ruger MKII](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tell-me-about-your-ruger-mkii/238185/2):
>
> Mine’s about as basic as you can get. 4" barrel, non-adjustable sites, blue finish.
> 
> Got it as a birthday present from a girlfriend, a roommate “accidentally” put it in his car trunk and it was taken by the police, struggled with the cops to get it back, had to get a new case, lock and magazine for it because the originals were “lost” by the ex-roommate.

How was he able to get access to this gun? Did you have any preventative measures in place to ensure your roommates and guests did not have access to it?
