First let me say how glad I am I found this site and hope I can find some help with my two issues.
First off years ago in 99 or 2000 I went to Pasadena gun show looking to replace a Colt govt model I had stolen.
Anyhow I run into a guy I played football with back in high school who was selling a nice govt model that needed a new finish.
I picked the colt up for around $300-350 can't really remember. I take it to have it parkerized pick it up a month later and that night its stolen out of my truck. What luck right.
Well the Houston police recover it and my cell phone so they call me. Don't remember the story exactly but they recovered it and have it for me to pick up.
I end up going offshore to work come back and go through a divorce so I forget about it and assume it was destroyed or auctioned. Then I get a call years later HPD has it still and I'm thrilled. Well I have to talk to homicide they have a hold on it.
Well me and homicide can never connect I forget about it again until recently. I call its still there homicide still has a hold on I talk to homicide sergeant he says he will get back with me. I am going to call back Monday.
Turns out the guy I bought it from is in prison now for some really major things I had no idea he was involved in. I mean I don't have serial # anymore and this may sound like the dumbest question but they aren't waiting for me to claim it and then arrest me for having a stolen weapon or anything.
Obviously if it was used in a shooting they wouldn't wait for me to pick it up. What if it was stolen or I don' t know? I did have a bill of sale but I don't know where it is now.
I guess I am a bit paranoid but I don't have the best luck check my next post about my other problem and it will help you to understand.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This gun was recovered in 2001 I was amazed they still have it which makes worry more as well.
Sorry if this sounds completely ridiculous
