The theft of the .40 calibre semi-automatic handgun, which was stored inside the unmarked police vehicle, occurred in Melbourne's southern suburbs at 5.30am on Tuesday.
Thank goodness that Australia's strict gun control laws will keep the weapon off the streets.
While nobody was injured during the incident, the stolen weapon is believed to have quickly surfaced for sale on the black market.
An image of a police-issued Smith & Wesson, and a hand holding a loaded magazine beside it, appeared on an encrypted chat platform used by organised crime figures after the burglary.
