Contact the atf and report the gun stollen. That should light a fire under their butts to get your gun back or at least come clean as to what happened to it.

Filing a false police report? Brilliant. Maybe you should stay in your lane. Seriously, what a stupid suggestion.

4 years of keeping someones gun with multiple failed promises to deliver and no excuse as to why? How does Matt not know that the gun is not lost?

What else may you suggest? Asking nicely, multiple times? It sounds like that has happened. Maybe a long drive and showing up in person demanding it be returned is the only other option. Or wait 4 more years.?

Last year I had guy I had never talked to before call me crying the blues to me because he had his gun there for over 5 years for what was supposed to be a barrel refinish and a stock refinish. I was at a loss for why he was calling me and telling me his woes. He was asking me for advice I guess, I told him to call and demand his gun back in whatever state it was in. Write off the time lost and get it back in hand.

I have never had a problem with Brad, Parker or Lori responding to phone calls or e-mail. Regardless, you hold yourself out as an expert on all things Parker and for you to suggest someone file a false police report is incredibly irresponsible.

So what would you suggest Jay after 4 years of broken promises ? ?

Maybe you could offer to help Matt since you have no problems with them...

That’s a bit harsh.

If a person legally takes possession of my Parker (I sent it to them for repair), but then refuses to return my Parker, even after several years of demands (in writing), I would say such person committed “theft by conversion.” You Michiganders might use the old school “larceny by conversion.” Whatever you call it, it’s a theft and it’s appropriate to report such a theft to the ATF.

I think Matt needs to make a formal demand, in writing, to the owner(s), Parker and/or Lori Bachelder. In terms of reporting it, larceny/conversion is a state offense, not a federal offense. The GR PD will investigate, and if the facts justify a possible criminal charge, they will refer the matter to the Kent Co Prosecutor, and request a warrant be issued.

I hope that upon receipt of the letter Lori or Parker will respond promptly and return the firearm.
