"The trail of the Glock from that smashed glass case in Superior, Wisconsin, to its recovery during a street stop gives a glimpse at a world where any handgun is a hot commodity, offering the currency, protection and power that drives violent street conflicts. It’s a trail of physical pain and life-changing grief for individuals, and great financial cost to the city. Researchers have estimated the cost of just one gunshot injury — including medical expense to the earning power of victims to the loss of business in the affected area — to be well over $1 million."
