Hello,
I have a friend who forgot his gun in a car rental. The car rental place called the police and surrendered the gun to them. My friend didnt have the serial number recorded. (I know, stupid.) He legally had the gun transferred to him via FFL several years ago. He tried reaching out to this FFL to see about getting a copy of the original transfer paperwork that would show the serial number. However, the FFL has moved out of the home he was doing business in and has changed his phone number. The police say they will destroy the firearm without him showing he has proof it is his.
This is a really sad situation with many things to be learned by my friend. I thought I'd ask if anybody had any ideas that he might pursue in order to reclaim his property?
Btw, this happened in Ft. Worth TX.
Thank you for anybody who has any advise.
