At WHOSE expense?
How does paying the price for somebody ELSE'S theft "console" him in ANY way?
He's already been robbed once. You're advising him to CONSENT to a SECOND robbery. What exactly is "consoling" about that?
How do I get my gun back?

I called the federal courthouse to ask if I need a lawyer to get a federal court order. The person that answered the phone told me they can't give legal advise.
I called the CA DOJ, told them the story and that guy couldn't help me either. He knew nothing about getting a court order. He did confirm that first I need to apply to get the gun in my name with the CA DOJ. I never registered the gun as it wasn't required 10 years ago. Then, I need to apply to the CA DOJ Law Enforcement Gun Release program, which I knew.
I also emailed the ATF to see what they might say about the whole thing.

When the gun was stolen did you report the theft to your insurance company and get compensated for it?

No. I didn't have homeowners insurance.

In a word...fuggeddaboudit!
You have every right to have the firearm returned to you -and it will cost you more than it would to buy a new one...period.

As soon as I find out that is the case, I will forget about it for a couple more years and try again. By then, all the people involved at the PD will be new. Who knows, eventually I might get someone that's sympathetic.

Ten years is usually the statute of ultimate repose. The department may have given you that number because they wanted to keep evidence of the assailant's firearm in case some relative tried to sue. Go ahead and fill out their forms and make a formal request for it back, but I wouldn't waste too much time on it. The thing may be rusting away in a locker or just plain gone.
Not necessarily. If the department deemed the shooting justified, there need not have been any judicial involvement at all.
