Some criminals are extremely stupid, don't assume they can actually think logically like we do.
Possessing a stolen gun can cause a lot of legal difficulties, substantial lawyer's fees, etc. A word to the wise is sufficient.

It's always possible it was just thrown out, perhaps even unintentially in a box of old stuff. But I would assume a worst case scenario unless and until proven otherwise. Always do the right thing.
