One of my worst nightmares come true

[Dennis]

John, sorry to hear about the loss of a fine shotgun. As an ex cop I urge you to either persist with the police and ask them to at least take a courtesy report so the serial number is in the system OR talk to a USPS inspector. That should be done in any case. Someone should be able to at least put the serial number in the system. I agree with one of the posters about how can a 34 inch barreled gun be lost. My guess is the gun was never, "lost" but stolen. It may turn up one day in a crack house and hopefully some idiot didn't cut the barrels down to use it as a sawed off weapon. I am told that here in CA where I presently reside if your guns are not registered with a law enforcement agency and they are stolen you will not get them back when/if recovered. Even if you have receipts showing possession they will not return the gun to you. What a dumb state this is. Hopefully your state is not like that. My best wishes to a safe and sound return of your Parker.

If stolen then by one of the acceptance office employees or the driver. That is as far as it has gotten.

If it went to homeland security for any reason would they show tracking for that?

ATF just told me to go pound sand as well. To report it to local police. ATF does not take reports from citizens only FFL holders.
WTF

John,
I understand you were sending the gun for repairs to the ejectors. Does the person or company that was going to work on your gun have a FFL? If so, contact them and maybe they can help you in reporting it to the ATF and other officials.

I would still summon the Postmaster in a small claims court action or something bigger is the value of the gun exceeds small claims court limits. Our research chairman game me the heads up about bringing bad car people into court.

John,

I believe it will show up. I had one shipped to me from almost one side of the country to the other, and their tracking system showed nothing, just that it left, and just that it arrived. Nothing in between. Could not tell anything else. I had bet it was on a wagon train going over the great divide.

Fifteen days.
