Since I couldn't edit the title of the original thread I started this one to get visibility for an amazing piece of detective work by an exemplary officer who is a huge asset to the Knoxville TN PD. Detective Ogle posted the following on the site that I copied the original thread from. No details on how things worked out, just that things DID work out! Detective Ogle is to be commended for his valiant and SUCCESSFUL efforts to return this beautiful shotgun to its rightful owner. UPDATE!!! Owner found🎉 52 years ago a young man was home alone when someone broke into his family's house and took several of his father's guns. Well, Iam happy to say I've recovered one gem of a shotgun and now have spoken to the 16 year old of 1972 who was violated by a burglar that day while his parents were away. Arrangements have been made for him to come get his gun. God is good! https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...tgun-recovered-owner-sought#Post19342935

Incredible. My dad was about that age in 72. Must feel real nice having that thing back.

I did NOT expect this outcome but after years on this site I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. There is definitely a ton of worthless quarreling and endless BS but at its core there are some truly remarkable people here.
I didn’t think that after 52 years the rightful owner would be found but thanks to the officer at Knoxville PD and guys like Wiley who didn’t give up looking I’m flabbergasted (that’s a word I never use) that the shotgun and its owner are reunited.
Great job to everyone involved!

Awesome, I am happy for the family of the original owner. a family heirloom returned to it's rightful home. Excellent police work! I guess the haters on this forum will somehow find something to criticize about this. They are never happy and moan constantly, like old widow.

"Violated while home alone"??? Interesting phrase to say the least...maybe kid hawked the gun for cash and called it a home invasion????

Nice job. He will have something to remember his father by now.
I thought that it was only a burglary if no one was home?
Or maybe the kid was at school?
Otherwise UT is a robbery right?
