Since the hardware store didn't take precautions to LOCK UP THE GUNS AT NIGHT, perhaps we need a new law enacted that requires all retailers to do so.   Today, alarms and camera's aren't enough.  Leaving them out (in plain sight at night) is asking for a smash & grab.  GUN SAFES are called that a for a reason.  Don't retailers realize that they are at risk of being sued, if and when someone is harmed by a gun, stolen from their store?  I'll bet the store has a money safe, and they never considered using it to lock up the guns at night.  If they read this, maybe they will start.
