My main worry there is anyone can say "Oh yeah, that was mine".
As far as location, I'm in Seattle. I took the serial down to my local precinct on paper and it's not reported stolen.

Unlike finding a firearms in the field were most state laws require the finder to make a reasonable effort to return it to the owner, when a deed is signed on a house and it is notarized the new owner has rights to all items and contents unless otherwise agreed to. Finding out if it was stolen or not was a good move but you are under no obligation to try and find who left it there you bought it when you paid for the house.
