Strip it down to the naked frame. That's all you have to give back.
Tell everyone to go blow.
You mean to tell me that the stocks were not stolen property as well?? Trigger? Sights? Magazine?
That statement makes no sense at all to me....
I would concur with the many others that I would do nothing until contacted unless the seller was willing to return funds and then upon receipt of the funds, I would turn the gun over to local authorities. If contacted, I would want a copy of any and all reports and would likewise want to turn the gun over to local authorities and get a sign transfer receipt. If the homeowner's insurance already paid it out, they may not go after you for it, and the police are not going to do anything if not bugged.
Its not worth a lot of trouble over but I would not go about spending my time and energy trying to figure out how to throw $500 down the toilet... let them come to you and then be thorough but supportive.
