...Is what I think

The primary issue is not how many weapons he had in his vehicle or the types, the issue is what he did (and didnt) do after discovering his vehicle had been broken into.

Most law enforcement officials will FREAK OUT if they find their vehicle broken into and weapons missing. They will immediately call 911, they will not wait 30 minutes to go back to the office to enter them into a national database.

I think he waited so long because he didn't want any Law Enforcement officers getting lucky and stopping the people he sold these weapons to so he gave them a head start to make sure they were out of town which could mean the people he sold them to don't fit in with the area and would have immediately raised suspicions to law enforcement.

Normally the first priority is alerting all law enforcement in the area about those weapons, he did not have to go to the office either. If he was driving a county vehicle with a mobile computer in it, he could have done it from the car or have the nearest law enforcement officer do it from theirs.

I guess the question now is who he sold those weapons to. Was it to a drug cartel, white supremacist group or someone else?
