Stolen revolver and heirloom

Duncan ............ sorry to hear this! I agree with others, sounds like a visit is in order. Your Mom isn't to blame, My Mom would have likely done similar...... just too big a heart & too good natured sometimes. Besides, what does she know about safe storage or firearms regs?

762 ....... wow.......just wow! What a hard a$$ :puke: Nice attitude! Where's the compassion? Spooky that you have anything to do with LE in any capacity!

I'm shocked the local PD isn't more concerned or putting more pressure on the trailer trash druggy relatives. Throw then in the slammer for a few hours & sweat them until they go into withdrawal or something & start to spill their guts!

I suppose the only thing you can hope for (besides the safe return of the heirlooms) is that what goes around will come around and they'll get theirs in the long run. Doesn't help much, I know.

Wishing you success & the best of luck!

OK, maybe a little too much, I'll grant you that but I'm surprised they can get away with simply saying, sorry don't know anything and be on their merry way. That's just too easy. Obviously we can't infringe upon their rights, since trailer trash druggys still have rights, but there needs to be some way to put some heat on them. I would have thought they could hold them for a while for questioning, filing reports etc or something.
 
It is truly amazing how little Police will/can do even when the victim can say with little doubt that 'xyz' did it. I once got into a real jack pot with some guy road raging me who blocked me at and intersection and then proceeded to smash my car in and put his crow bar to my head as he told me to say good bye... long story short quick actions got me outta there but i tracked him down got his full name, address etc and even a photo of him and the police REFUSED to arrest him. Said that someone else confessed to doing it and that they were charging the person (the accomplice of the guy) with mischief. As I am standing there telling them that it was the other guy and I even had 4 other witnesses in the car plus a person who called it in off the street. That puts a real damper on my confidence in LEO (not meant to be cop bashing, i do thoroughly respect HONEST AND GOOD cops).

Shame to hear about your heirlooms and with any luck you'll get them back but i wouldn't put much confidence in the police to do anything and clearly thats whats happening.
 
####ty situation for Duncan Idaho

As for 762 ... WTF man? Out of line.

Bottom line is this, IMO. LEs will probably not do anything about those two druggies who stole the weapons, albeit obsolete with probably no ammo to boot, because two stolen firearms are not worth risking their life for. They know these scumbags could very well shoot them...for what? For stolen property?

IMO, LEs will think it is not worth their lives, or the OP's for that matter to even try and recover the stolen firearms, and I totally agree. I don't mean to imply anything else.

Remember these druggies have little to lose and would probably welcome anybody to come after them and share their pain and misery.

Now, if somebody was injured or killed in an incident involving these druggies, LEs will see that in a different light and do something to put them away.
 
Jebus 762,

Sounds like someone needs a hug.... or was raped in a Prius by a group of homeless men named stinky Pete and the dirty underwear gang....or has had run ins with crackheads stealing his stuff before....or doesn't like kittens.


As to the OP hope all works out and your crack head family members get the help they need or wise up and return your property. (from experience with drug addicts they most likely wont and will end up in a ditch)
 
This is a bad situation, but if Ganny knew nothing about firearms, she obviously has no RPAL and should have had no access to the guns.

I am surprised there are not charges being pressed for improper storage. I think the cops also need to step up here. It is obvious "who dun it". If not, then you need to make the 500km drive and do a little search of your own.
 
The police not doing anything is no surprise, Lethbridge police are renown for being mostly useless at the best of time. If it wasnt for the constant photo radar they would go bankrupt lol. Its a sad fact i have lived in Lethbridge my whole life and it is becoming a disgusting place to live, way to much crime for such a small population. I hope some form of satisfaction comes out of this good luck.

If "granny" was the executor of the estate, she has perfectly legal possession WITHOUT any PAL or RPAL. And yet again, having you handgun out in your house when you're home is legal. Even if all you're doing is basking in it's gunny awesomeness, you're still using it. It isn't as if we don't have enough issues without making it even worse for gunowners by interpreting the laws in the most Liberal fashion possible.

As to the police help, well, I was robbed once, knew who had done it, and the local constabulary showed no interest at all until I invited them along to go and get my property. Suddenly they "had time for your problem". FWIW - dan

+1, executors of estates, actually have some impressive legal powers. One of the few mercies that no government seems to be trying to take away.

Thank you dan for clearing this up. There is certainly no shortage of members who are willing to preach from the bully pulpit.
 
maybe pay the suspects a visit? i'm not suggesting anything illegal just go to theyre residence and "talk" with them about it.
 
At the risk of getting jumped, I'll offer a few comments:

1. If you're not happy with the police investigation about the "theft," go above the investigator's head. Talk to those above him until you are satisfied that they have done a thorough investigation. If the OP worked in law enforcement, he should know the channels to follow for this.

2. One of the posters above suggested that the police might be afraid to investigate because the people involved might have guns. If the police think that the suspects are that dangerous, that's all the more reason to deal with the situation. That is not the time to back off and turn a blind eye.

3. We don't know "granny." Maybe she's the nicest and most honest person around. I hope so. But I recall a friend telling us about how their elderly mother reported a theft of valuable antiques. After investigation, it turned out that she sold the stolen items to an antique dealer for next to nothing and then was too embarassed to tell her kids that she sold them.

The main point is that this sounds like an incomplete investigation. Police should take the disappearance of firearms seriously. A couple of short interviews aren't enough.

Yes... my bad, you are quite correct, I didn't stop to think she would have executive powers from a will.
 
I fear they have been sold for $20 each by now to fund a weed purchase. But cops still find guns in drug busts, etc.

I had a call last week to say Toronto police had found a gun of mine that had been stolen. I will get it back after Mutt has his day in court.
