Stolen items (three silencers)

Does the range have a sign in sheet, membership sheet, or video cameras? Or possibly paid for with credit cards? That's a good start.
 
Seriously this worked!

Ok, a relative of mine had a fence, a nice fence that someone hit and ran.

Mind you they left a two inch piece of their car with BMW on it!

He put up a large sign on his property which is off the main road, and offered a small reward for information on who hit the fence.

NO JOKE. The person who hit the fence saw the sign, and contacted him appologizing, saying they didn't realize they did any damage (no way, fence was done).

Try it. It they are still in the area, they have been shown off to someone. Money burns ties with criminals, so hopefully you may get something!
 
Not to be negative, but I'd venture that posting a sign asking for info on who hit a fence with their car is a bit different than one asking for info on who took a handful of federally-regulated shooting gear.

Might be just a touch less productive than you'd think.
 
I know I am a little late on this one but I did post it on Firearms talk.com and gogovarmintgo.com I know both boards have a good few members that live in CO.
 
Zero news, the investigation has closed for now.

________________________________________
Item one: I am outside, looking in the grass, walking back and forth, trying desperately to find my favorite ballpoint pen. I am eleven or twelve years old.

Dad: "What are you looking for?"
Me: "My Parker pen."
Dad: "What does it look like?"
Me: "It's black with a silver top and it has an arrow for a clip."
Dad: "So you're looking for a long black and silver thing. What if it's not lying flat? What if it's on it's end? What would it look like?"
Me: "Uh, kind of a small silver dot . . ."

And so, indeed, it did. When I started looking for the other things it might look like, I found it in under ten minutes. It had fallen point-down, and all that was visible was the top of the button.


Item two: I am searching through the house from one end to the other, trying to find something (I no longer recall what, so we'll pretend it was a model boat), and my dad sees me going over the same area multiple times.

Dad: "What are you looking for?"
Me: "My blue boat. I can't find it anywhere."
Dad: "Have you looked everywhere?"
Me: "I've looked everywhere it can be."
Dad: "Well, if you've looked everywhere it can be, and it isn't there, then try looking where it can't be.

Sure enough, it was where I would have sworn it couldn't have been.

So.

There are these two questions:

1) What are you looking for? What does it look like? What does it look like when it doesn't look like that?

2) Have you looked everywhere -- including where it can't be?

If you are a FFL, are they samplers? If not, did you really pay over around $600-$1000 dollars for them total? Either way, I'm sure they come with some sort of extended warranty or "insurance" of some type. Make sure you get that police report from the officer(s)/detective(s) that marked the case and send it off to whomever you can get reimbursed from. I know what I say is kind of off, but the whole "at least you can get your money/some of your money back," idea is better than nothing. If the feds or local LE lets your case go stale...well...don't look forward to them leading further with it, especially due to the fact that stolen property is a mid to semi-high priority case. I don't mean to single you out compared to an entire state's, or for that matter, country's population but...there are more higher priority thefts (such as stolen guns themselves, stolen vehicles, missing children, all of the aforementioned numbering in the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS) that will definatly, DEFINATELY use up more resources than trying to recover your 3 suppressors. So, again, instead of pressing on too hard on a case that is going stale, try to get on the reimbursment or "refundable" approach. I really am sorry about your loss and I do hope that at least SOME leads come from whatever sources are pursuing whatever chapter of your case, but move on and learn from this incident.

I'm sorry about killing the whole "dead, serious look-out vibe," but from some issues I have been investigating at work and reading this thread...trust me, this is one of the best pieces of advice you will recieve from any other LE or variant of such.
 
just a question, have all the local gunshops been asked if anybody has been looking for threaded barrels in the pattern that yours are? have the manufactures been conctacted and ask if anyone has called wanting to know the patterns of 3 surpressors? I'm just trying to think out of the box. BTTT
 
That's amazing. How do you know they were at the range? Who else knew? It would seem much more probable that they were lost, ie left at home...
