I suspect that the people tasked with locating the guns are not trying too hard. We are talking about law enforcement here. If the OP knows the victim, get the serial numbers and descriptions out here and we will exceed the efforts of law enforcement.

Having been in law enforcement for many years I can assure you that recovering stolen property, especially firearms, is taken very seriously.

I agree. It has been my experience that they have someone assigned who will be checking all available and possible outlets. I pray for their swift recovery.

And we all have our batch of toys documented in a spreadsheet and backed up with pics?

Actually yes I do. I take pics of every gun and document it on the attached form which is just something I have continued to modify over the years. I keep the paper copies as well as the digital on my computer and Dropbox. Feel free to use the attached or send me a PM so as not to hijack this thread if you have suggestions to improve this one. I have never really searched the net for one, just made it up on the fly.
