My first rifle was a Weatherby Vanguard made in Japan in .25-06.  Bought from a pawn shop by my dad and given to me around 10 years old.  I killed everything with that rifle.  Heavy and pretty.  About 12 years ago, I had gone turkey hunting before work and had that sitting in my front seat in case I ran across a coyote.  Got to the office and locked my keys in the trunk when I was changing.  I took a work truck home and instead of going back to the office to get my rig, decided to leave it overnight and not go through the hassle and put the wife out.  Around 2 in the morning I woke up from a dead sleep with a panicked feeling.  Decided to just get dressed and head to work.  Window smashed and rifle was never recovered.  It isn't worth much, but it was my first.

Forgot one.  The local pawn shop had a Ruger M77 in.458 Lott.  However, I had my eye on a couple of other firearms that day.  Went back a couple of weeks later fully committed to dipping into savings to just own something that cool.  It was gone.
