Had 4 guns recovered by police and returned. Three in first year and one after 18 years. All looked good with no extra marks. Twenty still missing.
Recovered Stolen
- Thread starter jscheck
- Start date
During a drug buy both suspects shot at each other. The guy I was interviewing had been shot in the upper arm and needed immediate emergency treatment. I had secured his firearm and completed my report after the suspect went into emergency surgery. When I ran the serial number it came back as registered to a fellow Deputy! When I called him to verify the information , to make a long story short, his son's time on earth became the subject of another conversation!
Both firearms had been stolen but not in the system. Big surprise!! This "shoot out" was over a small quantity of marijuana which would have been a misdemeanor until the guns came out!
Just another day in paradise!
P.S. My suspect may have lost his arm from a direct hit to the large bone. The X-ray showed a space where there should have been bone! Must have taken a deal since I wasn't summoned to court!

OP
I've been told that the gun along with at least one other had been on display at a local museum and stolen from there. The funny part is it's described as a Victory model (which it obviously is not)- the serial number however is correct for the gun we have. Our detective contacted the son of the owner (possible dad has passed away) and he confirmed it was the same pistol. Son obviously isn't a gun guy!
Many years ago, a guy I worked with had all of his firearms confiscated after he was arrested on a domestic dispute. When he finally got his firearms back, all of them had been electro penciled with the PD evidence numbers.
My neighbor had all his firearms confiscated after the PD came to do wellness check on him that had been prompted by a relatives concern for his safety. All the firearms were released to me for safe keeping, none had been marked in any way. I guess it just depends on what PD you are dealing with.
The really sad part was when his parents came to the office to pick up his belongings I had a brief discussion with them. Really nice upper middle class couple unaware their son was involved in drugs and guns. Life goes on>>>!!
