So someone stole my gun.

[glockman23]

I had a glock stolen out of my truck back in june 2010. I have made numerous calls to the detective that was assigned my case with no returned calls. Anyone know where I should go from here?

Your bank. Then, your local gunshop.

Make sure to keep the ORIGINAL police report until the day you die or until your firearm is returned.

There's nobody actively looking for it. The case is likely closed. Someone might call you if it is ever found. Go buy another one.

 

[Ashkelon]

I wouldn't want it back even if they found it. Get another. Yours likely has the numbers ground off by now anyway.

Been there, done that but I want my old gun back too!!! It was my favorite

 

[rimfire_crazed]

Well, as it has been said, there aren't any flatfoots checking the pawn shops every day for your gun. If it does turn up, you'll probably get a phone call - but the chances of that are one in a million.


Be happy it was a Glock and not something irreplaceable.

Buy another one so your not "naked". As long as it is reported in the system, you might see it tomorrow or not for 100 years. My Sig Sauer P229 was stolen and it took me 4-1/2 years to get it back from Chicago PD. Yes, I said Chicago Pd. Not a mark on it. It was like hitting the Powerball. You never know...

I had a co worker who had his entire gun safe stolen out of his garage. along with a few thousand in tools. the thieves were able to crack the safe, sell the gun etc...

7 years later they had recovered 1 glock. used in a gang shooting in Arizona. figure it is gone and pick out a new favorite... sorry.

Stolen gun

Many years ago my friends gun show in Gary was broken into,stole
some FA and semi-auto guns. I read in the paper that a guy was stopped in Chicago with an M1 Thompson. I called my friend and it was his personal
SMG. He called Chicago( County) and they said he would get it back after
the trial. WELL they could not find it? Go figure. I told him to contact
ATF, but he did not have the b--s to do it. None of the others were ever
found?

Sorry for your loss I cant imagine getting any of my guns stolen.

Put the serial number and model on a bunch of gunsites. Several sites have "Stolen gun sections", take advantage of em.

1. Keep the card of the detective, the serial number of the firearms, a copy of the police report and any e-mails or letters written to the police in your safe.

2. I'd call again in six months or so just to ensure that the police have your contact info.

3. Have you contacted your insurance company yet?

4. Have you contacted pawn and gun shops in your city?

5. Learn from this. Perhaps it is time for a floor safe in your vehicle? Have multiple copies of the guns you like.

 

[IndyGunner]

Have multiple copies of the guns you like.

YES!!!!

You can also have the detailed information posted here about the theft. I didn't see your name in the list.

Most stolen guns are almost never found. If the person that stole yours sells it to someone and that person is never in a police involved situation, the gun will never be recovered.

Come by and see us and we'll see if we can get you reoutfitted.

would car insurance cover it or since its not physically part of the car does it not cover it. I know witha hight deductable it may not be worth it but just woundered. I know i was told since i rent if my cars damaged aat home renters insurance will cover it.

It could be covered under his home or auto policy, but it depends on what the underwriter and he agreed to. Although, I dont know if that could be considered an insurable interest for auto. Sounds more like something in relation to your home owners policy. Regardless, I think youre right about the deductible. Most people have at least a $500 ded. I wouldnt make a claim on a $570 (or whatever) gun when the deductible is $500. Youd be saving $70 (if they gave you new cash value, which they wont), but your premiums would go up one to several hundreds of $$ a year.

Id consider it a loss and go use this opportunity to buy a new gun and an auto safe!

home owners should cover it, but unless you have a very small deductible, its pretty much a lost cause.

That is exactly what the insurance world would define as passive retention lol.
