Never give up on those stolen guns, guys
Never give up on those stolen guns, guys
I have a friend moving from Coconut Grove to Flagstaff this week. A few days ago he got a call from some cop in Michigan. He is getting back two (of six) guns stolen from his apartment--in 1978.

Wild. I can't imagine records were digitized in '78. Wonder how/when they were updated into the NCIC...?- I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you... -
No idea. He is not really a gun guy. These were all hunting guns in his youth (the two recovered are 20 gauge shotguns). He was living in Illinois at the time of the theft.Tenzing_Norgay wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 10:25 pm
Side note: they turned up in a warranted search in Michigan.

Oh wait. Wrong banner.

They were updated on a regular basis if the theft was in Illinois. The FOID system is run by the State Police in Illinois and was only in use for 10 years in 1978. Once a firearm was reported stolen the system automatically updated the notice every 5 years til the item was taken off the stolen list.
I don't know how it is run now, but that's how it use to be done in Il.

I wonder what condition those shotguns were in when recovered after 40+ year?

About 15 yrs ago, here in So Fla, my apt got broken into and one of the things stolen was my nightstand pistol. At the time there was a website, probably by Florida police, that you could type in serial #'s and check on recovery.
Anyone know what that website is?

I'll tell you what rule we applied sir.
We applied rule 303.
We caught them and we shot them under rule 303!

it also all depends on if the Cops enter the numbers correctly
