I am usually just a lurker, but figured it wouldn't hurt to put this out in the local gun community. My wife's Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 380 was stolen a couple weeks ago in the Clear Lake area. It had a pink slip on grip, which was obviously most likely removed immediately and was in a little Blackhawk pocket holster. The original box and case were not stolen. The serial number is EBE2387.
We called HPD and got a case number the morning it was discovered. They informed us if the thief tried to pawn it, it would immediately be flagged because of the serial number. I am wondering how this works though and if that database is nationwide? Like if the scum were to sell it in another city or state, would it still be "flagged?"
This is really a horrible feeling and the thought of an innocent person getting hurt or killed with a firearm we purchased makes me sick.
