Please be on the look out for a stolen shotgun.

[Archbishop]

Heads up. My neighbor's house here in the Fountain Square area was broken into this morning while they were at church. Thieves made off with an Apple laptop and an older Winchester model 12 shotgun. It's a pump action with with wood furniture.
We have reason to believe that stolen goods are currently located on the East side of Indy. (What a surprise.)
So, I know it's a bit of a long shot, but if hear of the shot gun popping up please send me a message.
Thanks in advance.

Did they dust for Latent prints. That usually gets them.

Not sure. Just talked to my neighbor a bit and told him I'd post here so we could all keep an eye out. I realize it a long shot, but you never know.

If your neighbor has the serial number, tell them to post the shotgun here,

There is a old Winchester 12-12 slam fire capable gun on armslist right now.....

Unfortunately I doubt a serial number is forthcoming. He didn't even remember what model it was. (He's not really a "gun guy") Only way he knew the model was that I'd downloaded a manual for it last year when he was asking for me for help on cleaning it.

And a fairly low price. On the low end of what one would be worth I think. Like they are trying to move it quick... JMHO.

Hmm columbus area code..are we on to something?

 

[nra4ever]

Just have the op look at the pics in the ad. Should be easy to figure out if it's it or not

 

[funeralweb]

If it's the one, should be easy enough to pull a sting on the perp.

 

[nra4ever]

If it doesn't sell tonight.

No serial number....no way to PROVE its his.

Yup, without the S/N probably not much can be done. Photos with the gun if there's any distinctive markings, maybe. You need SOMETHING to distinguish it from every other Winchester out there.

As others mentioned, it's always a good idea to have all your guns' serial numbers written down, with the list in a safe place.
I have my list in multiple locations: desktop computer, both laptops, and sitting on the Yahoo! e-mail server, so I'll be able to get to it regardless of what may happen.
Photos of each are also helpful.
It's infuriating for some scumbag to steal a collector's item of a shotgun that's generally worth ~$500-$1200 who turns around and sells it for $100, if that.
