RICHMOND, Ky. — The doorbell rang in the night, waking C. Wesley Morgan. He rolled out of bed and walked into the foyer, looking through the arched glass entryway into the dark. Nobody. These phantom rings had been happening lately; most likely there was a short somewhere in the system. The rain didn’t help. He went back to bed.

Minutes later, he awoke to the sound of a crash, then the rattle of gunfire. It was coming from upstairs, where his daughter Jordan was sleeping. Mr. Morgan rushed to the French doors leading out of his bedroom, opening them to see a man in a mask and carrying an AR-15 walking down the stairway.
The man looked blankly at Mr. Morgan, who had time to shout one word: “Why?”

A few days later, the police found Mr. Gilday, walking before dawn along an Interstate exit a couple of miles from the Morgan home. Detective Cameron Allen of the Kentucky State Police interviewed him for three hours following the arrest; Mr. Gilday, he said, confessed. The police already had an idea of his motive. According to a search warrant application, Mr. Gilday had researched a number of houses in Kentucky before settling on the Morgans’. All of them shared one feature: a bunker.
I posted this story for 2 reasons. First, to share this wild story and to get a look at the bunker. And second, to help folks realized that there are those preppers out there whose plan is to kill you and take your preps.

I was part of a statewide forum some years back. We were so good that national prepping forums were noticing what we accomplished. We had established regional meet-ups. No one used their real name for operational security. These were wonderful. Then one day someone saw one of the people at the meetup, recording license plate numbers of the other folks in the meetup. We knew what that meant! His plan for SHTF was to raid other peoples preps! We through him out of the group, but the damage was done. There are people out there whose plan is to kill you and take your preps.

Yes, the OpSec is a thing to consider. Hiker knows me IRL (introduced me to this forum, too! Thanks, Hiker!), and we have discussed some prep stuff in broader terms.

My own preparatory activities are going to undergo a bit of upheaval in the coming weeks, which is going to give me opportunity to reconfigure things more intelligently.
Eventually I'll figure out this signature thing and decide what I want to put here.

Shocking I tell ya considering all the ads on TV for them.
And it's not like he couldn't afford it, given the amount of money he spent on the rest of that property...

CD pretty much sums it up, IMHO.
There is a seriously Taoist moral to this story too...
Really!

Hiker, BP, I hope that individual knows that everyone in your group now has his license plate too and will collectively hunt him down at the first sign of malfeasance. What a dumbass.

The license plate guy incident was before I got involved in prepping, so I don't think he has my numbers. I agree that I hope he gets dissuaded from trying to break into anybody's supply caches.

Speaking of license-plate dumbasses, there was a guy collecting license plate information at a local women's clinic recently, and he was outed as an insurance agent selling State Farm policies here in "da 'Ville." Several people have reported this to State Farm, as it is considered threatening behavior from someone who might have access to databases most folks don't get to peruse, and he was mostly getting numbers from cars belonging to clients of the clinic or the volunteer escorts who help clients get to the clinic through the gauntlet of right-wing-nut-job protesters. Hopefully his prospects with State Farm will suffer.

On the property being discussed, that WOULD draw some attention. My own property is far from that large (my lot is more like .15 acre than 50 acres). I don't need to be that good that far out (although I could work toward that goal)--I anticipate my own need to be more along the lines of shooting around the neighbor's house...

And, while semi-humorous and certainly thought-provoking, I'd also think it could be problematic. That house is VERY ostentatious. I think mine would be far less so, in part for OpSec.

The targets would be cheaper and much more fun to generate. I mean, on the inside of my gun safe door I've got my good 100 meter rifle targets with the quarter-sized groups with the loads, and I've got my 15 yard .45 targets with the centers chewed out. So, there was fun had to make them. Haven't posted them in my yard yet, as we're not quite post-apocalypse here yet. Students come back late September, though. There should be more this year than last.

Plans are nothing; planning is everything.

Like I said, first paragraph speaks volumes about the ineptitude of this guy. I didn't need to read to the second paragraph.
Phantom rings, like it musta been the cat teasing him.
A Ring type video door bell can be had for 100 bucks and some change. Then you can add all types of flood lights, other cameras around the house with a click of the button on the cellphone app.
