Question. In 2017 I was burglarized and had a firearm stolen. It was found. Now what?

What kind of firearm?

Contact the sheriffs department that found it and ask whats going on?

Beretta M9.
Also had an AR-15 stolen. No news on that bad boy yet.
I followed all the steps and procedures according to the law.

Have been in touch with them. Due to the virus b.s and agencies struggling to operate during the confusion it has been a struggle.
Was curious if anyone else experienced such a... thing.

Find the dipshit on the candy van down by the river, and steal it back.

How were you notified?

I should ask who notified you as well?

You shouldn't be allowed to get the guns back unless you can prove you have a gun safe.

By email, phone, and letter.
Just want my baby back.
BTW I'm in Colorado, a rural area. Was recovered in the county South of mine.

I think it is safer for the criminal to have them than Mr tow truck.

A police officer. A sheriff as well.

It was in a safe. Happened during a string of burglaries here in 2017.

Well it shouldn't be this way but it may come down to how gun friendly your Sheriff is, as to how fast you get it back! As long as it wasn't used in the commission of a crime that needs to be held as evidence you should be getting back relatively soon! But I would bug the crap out of em til they release it. Good luck! No man should be without his shooter!

The Sheriffs department, Police, and D.A all have been very cooperative.
During this time it has simply been a communication issue as everything seems 10 times more difficult to accomplish regarding local and big government institutions.
Everyone has odd opinions. Some say I'll have to go through a background check again and pay money, others say they'll just ask proof of ownership and they'll hand it over.
It is a trip!
Thank you Sir.

My wife had a pistol stolen out of her car, it was recovered two years later. Since it was reported stolen the DA office called and gave her a detective number to call. Made appt. and picked it up, it was in a evidence bag. Wife just had to show ID, no biggie.

Sweet!
Hope it goes that smoothly.
During these times everyone has differing opinions in agencies. It's Odd.

It was put in farva's personal collection.

They never give stolen property back. It’s a donation to them, a reward for their efforts. Support police reform.

Don't be surprised when you get it back as clean as a whistle, gun thieves are notoriously anal retentive about firearm cleanliness. That's what you should expect. If I were you I'd locate it's actual physical location now, go down to that station in person and retrieve it...or at least ask for a short visitation with it.

after Canada required the registration of guns in the 90s... There was a breach in security in record keeping and thousands of guns were robbed from ppls homes

I know exactly where it is.
One county south of me at the sheriffs office.

In 2017 dozens were stolen here.
It is odd.

How did they get them out of the safe? Weren't they afraid of the consequences of breaking and entering into a house?

Do not know that info yet.

you are lucky. the same thing happened to me, and the constables still have my gun somewhere, or perhaps it was "lost". they never get back with me.
