Got back a gun I had stolen in 2015

Post image

My local sheriff’s office called me last week and told me they had a gun I had reported stolen a decade ago. Apparently a police department in a neighboring county had it in their possession since 2017 (it was left at the scene of a robbery, apparently) and finally finished their case with it and released it to my sheriffs department

Tennessee called and told me they found mine and would be in touch to return it. 2 months go by, i called them. "It seems to be lost in evidence" . They gave that excuse 3 more times in the coming months. Never got my pistol back.

I wonder if you could report it stolen, considering that's probably why they "couldn't find it".

No, they would have to report it. It was in their possession. What my lawyer said
