stolen guns

Update ! The little Ruger is back home.

Did you have to pay the pawn fee?

Congrats, btw.

Thank you ! No . The kid that pawned it paid the pawn fee . LE put the squeeze on him . They think he thought it was legit . He gave them some names and paid the fee .

Sweet!

Here's hoping the AR shows up unscathed.

 

[Chris Banther]

Had several items stolen from home this week. Two firearms, Hungarian AK47 and Hi point 40 Cal. Had serial numbers and a lot of ammo for both weapons. Figure I will never see any of my things again. Made police report, but even though parts of home were trashed they said they do not take prints or try, left me thinking WTF? specially with firearms.

Most police departments dont know how to lift prints i would put a call into the OSBI or FBI since firearms were involved.

Even worse if they show up in a pawn shop those people do not have to run numbers.
If you found your gun in a pawn shop they do not have to give it back..You must buy it for their advertised price.
The system. It is all messed up.

Unless it has changed that is the way it is.

A buddy is a shop manager here in Norman. If something hits, the police come and take it to lockup. Shop is out of luck. Almost all shops today are online file, so the serial numbers hit pretty quick. In the past, LE would stop by the shop and have to check the books, not any more.
If you can't get something back, call the pawn brokers association. Next would the be the TV station.
