A state law passed in 2016 requires all citizens and law enforcement officers to lock and secure all handguns inside a vehicle. Long guns and rifles, like the ones in this case, are exempt.

This is one of six thefts of law enforcement vehicles in the Bay Area since 2015.

The weapon used to kill 32-year-old Kate Steinle on Pier 14 was stolen from a Bureau of Land Management ranger's car in San Francisco.
