Don't hold your breath thinking you'll get a gun back.
My sons home was burgled...they stole two guns. He did all the proper steps...filed with local police...serial numbers....even photos.
Three years later a letter arrives. "Your gun was recovered" Hot dog! Lets go start the process to get it back!
Metro Police..." yes, we did take your gun from an arrested felon. In fact only two months after it was stolen. No, you can't have it...you didn't respond within the proper six month deadline. The gun was melted."
Son pointed out the date on the letter and the post mark cancellation....three day delay! OOPS!
His chat with Metro Legal produced an apology...and a check...but no gun.
We had no recourse for the other gun. Never heard anything about it.
If your gun is stolen, just move on. Go buy something better. IF...big if...it ever comes back, just consider it a miracle piece and smile!
Mark.
ps: I do realize this is not ALWAYS the way it happens. However, I don't expect the proverbial happy ending.
