Because the sword was not on the seat it "was lying across the rear floor of the vehicle, police said."

I can think of scenarios where it’s possible for someone to pop in the car, lift the sword off the floor clean, while the driver would just sit there gaping. Of course, the probability of these scenarios occurring is certainly lower than that of a sword stolen from the front seat, but the probability is far higher than that of a sword stolen from the trunk of a car.

In the end – since it comes down to probability (and its mitigation) - I think when you own a weapon, it is your responsibility to keep the weapon as secure as possible.
