I had a gun stolen in 1974. It was a legally purchased new handgun. The "investigators" eventually told me there was no record of the gun being sold in the state.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!
This is the post that Detective Ogle made today on the forum that I started this thread from. The owner has been FOUND!
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!

That is so cool. Fantastic diligence by that officer paid off. He has full right to be proud.

Glad it's returned after so long. A friend of mine had two handguns stolen from his house back in the late 1980s, a Walther P-5 and a Browning Hi Power. A few years later, to his amazement, the cops called him and told him they had his Hi Power, which he went and picked up. They never called him about the P-5.

Glad the son of the rightful owner was found. The gun was stolen from a very prominent family in the Nashville area and they were very active in the clay target sports in Nashville. Hats off to David Ogle for fine detective work.
Take care all!
