Glad you got it back, and will be able to fire up the ol’ memory machine once you two hit the range together.
I had the first pistol I bought, an Iver Johnson TP-22, stolen in a home burglary back in 1989 when I lived up in Humboldt County, Ca.
About a year after it was stolen, apparently a native guy went off his rocker and was arrested vandalizing work trucks from the utility company (PG&E). The gun was taken out of the guys car, but it was only booked for safekeeping as the deputy never ran it.
So after two years passed with the gun in the evidence locker, the evidence clerk was going to destroy it but then saw it wasn’t ever run through the system. She ran it, it came back reported stolen from me, she tracked me down to my new address in So Cal and ultimately mailed it back to me with a copy of the report. (It had the case number written in Sharpie on the magazine, too.)
Every once in a while the stars align and missing guns come home.
Stay safe.
