Fuck me to tears.
Po-Po calls and says I bought two stolen guns (Win. M1886 & Savage M1914) from the local pawn shop. Guns cleared the Po-Po check when sold and they were put out for sale. There were six of them total. Owner noticed them missing yesterday and filed a police report. Po-Po asks if I still have the two rifles and I say I have the Winchester 1886 but parted out the Stevens M1914 but I still had the receiver. Po-Po shows-up and gives me a list of 24 guns that were stolen from a 82 year old....I know the guy and went to school with one of his sons! Of course I give the 1886 to the po-po. At least the old guy kept records of the serial numbers. Trouble was he kept the guns in a old wardrobe. The pawn shop is going to make it right tomorrow but it still pisses me off just a little bit to lose the rifle. 
Well it was nice while it lasted. 
LOL....Anyone need a box of .40-82 BP cartridges?

So who stole them? Heroin addicted Granddaughter and her Felon boyfriend. 
Seems they stole a bunch of nice jewelry and a couple guns (one was a P-38) from her other Grandmother and her son (I know him too) called the gun owner to see if he was missing anything. That's when he discovered the broken lock on his wardrobe. The po-po said he said that he had not looked at the guns in years.....Bad health and all. Quoted:
Stolen goods at a pawn shop!?! Unpossible. One of the pitfalls of pawn shop buying I guess....It happened to me a couple years ago....Same type of deal.
By law they have to have guns they buy from walk-ins checked to see if they were stolen. 10 days after that they can put them out for sale. That's in case they are reported stolen. The trouble is if someone files a stolen property report afterwards and the gun was sold through the shop they "go after" the new owner to recover the stolen property. That "possession is nine tenths of the law" thing does not quite work that way.

The family thefts were becoming so prevelent that in order to protect the interests of those involved, like a pawn shop, some jurisdictions put in place a protocol where the victim had to file a police report and if criminal charges weren't pursued, the police wouldn't get involved in the property being recovered. So, gone were using the po po as repo. Or, if criminal charges weren't being pursued, the property owner had to reimburse the innocent third party, pawn shop, etc

Nah, I view the rifle as tainted goods now and want no parts of it....Telling them what it was worth was me solving the potential "greed" problem and it being stayed solved. 
I'll be made whole for what I paid by the pawn shop and that will be the end of it. I'll sell/trade the cartridges for more than I paid so it's all good. Oddly enough I don't feel the least bit guilty about parting out the Savage. At least I made out on that one.

My friend's grandfather had a number of guns stolen from him some years ago. Every now and then he'd find one at gun shows in the Shenandoah Valley, and get the police involved to get it back. The would-be sellers were "less than cordial" about the whole thing.

All the pawn shops around here are 400+ over MSRP on guns and are douchebags Sold me a Walther P99 once and i thought it was a deal until i took it out and it wouldn't shoot straight. Turns out the barrel was cracked on the inside. No returns - S&W made it right though |

I think I'm gonna engrave my family guns with stolen from the freefall family. That way my kids won't be able to sell them or if they do it will be at a reduced price. The ARs I built for sons are never to be sold and I told them I will buy them before the go to A pawn shop. |

cost. In other words owner has to pay to get his property back. I may be entirely wrong though. |

Ok A better way to word it would be "hypothetically speaking" or "what if it was already sold". Anyway, I'd imagine they'd want to see any online listing of the gun you made and any email exchanges, phone number, name, etc you have do get ahold of the person you sold it to. Basically I think it would be relatively easy for them to catch you in a lie, or become suspicious over your lack of willingness to cooperate. |
