OK, I hate to even bring this up but here goes. Something I do not even want to think about, but is a real possibility is that the gun no longer exists. The gun was stolen, that is a fact. The bad guy sells it to another bad guy or keeps it and one of them use it in a crime, robbery, etc. The gun gets seized by another police department and is (now this may be upsetting to some) melted down. It is heartbreaking to think of all the firearms that have been destroyed in some form or another by police departments and politicians! Let's hope that this might have a happy ending! I will now get off of my soap box.
