Default Gremlins In My Gun Cabinet

I swear there is at least one gremlin in my gun cabinet. Today I just had a feeling I should check to be sure none of the hammers on my rifles were cocked. I can't understand it but I found one that was cocked. This isn't the first time either. It has to be gremlins in my cabinet pulling the hammers back. The cabinet is steel and is locked all the time.

My cabinet has a similar problem. I'm not sure what is going on in there when the door is locked. But my wife does not believe me. Like if I put two 12 ga shotguns side by side the next thing you know a cute little 20 ga pops up out of nowhere.
Take last week for example. I put my Marlin .45-70 Guide rifle too close to my Win '94 32Spl and the next thing I know I now have a Puma .44!!
I believe I may have to put all my guns into those silicon sleeves so there is only SAFE-STORAGE going on in there when the door is shut.

It sounds like a personal problem. I was never good at personal problems. But I found a way around all that. I have a gun RACK and my rifles are always in sight of me in the computer/gun room. That way I can keep an eye on them.

That may work Bronko. Another thing, make sure they don't have a canister of blue powder in there.
