No, but they are all locked up unless I'm within arms reach. I've got a gun safe. Only one that isn't truly in a safe is in a hidden lock box anchored by a cable. This is all mostly for the kids, but doubles as crime prevention. It won't stop every possible scenario, but its trying as best I can.

As far as the car vs. house, I live in Houston and work in oil and gas. I think the memo is out to thieves that oilfield baws will keep a gun in their console. They seem to target f250's in garages at the companies I work with. Have smash and grabbed several handguns that I know of. I'll never put a gun sticker, come and take it sticker, etc. on my vehicle because I know they look for that. In comparison, Ive never known a single person have a gun stolen from their house.

I certainly agree that your truck is more "likely" to be broken in to. Ultimately there is a "chance" that things can be stolen from anywhere. I will not make decisions on what I do based on those "chances". If those "chances" drive our decision making, then one must consider where you live, drive, park, etc. Chances are, those high risk places aren't somewhere I would be anyway......regardless, I'm going to do what I feel is best to be ready, and fear of theft isn't going to change my behavior.

At home is slightly different. We don't need "ready access" to every tool in our box, so it makes sense that those extra tools stay secured and protected from fire. In a vehicle, it's usually one and done.
