Now what. Any advice/ suggestions for what to do at this point. Not at what should have been done.

John,
My wife got me a ca. 1941 Hamilton wristwatch for Christmas. It was lost in the mail about two weeks before Christmas so the person she bought it from found another and sent it to her in time for Christmas. The original watch was insured, but tracking could not find it and the provider was finally paid for the lost watch. Surprisingly, the original watch showed up at our house in mid-January sent from the "postal recovery center". We returned it to the dealer and he reimbursed the post office.
Do not give up. Hopefully it will turn up regardless of the insurance status. Insurance had nothing to do with recovery of the watch.

Hi John,

Sorry to hear about your lost gun. Notify the police and ATF. They keep a record of stolen and lost guns. It may show up and if they don't know who it legally belongs to they won't know who to return it to.

If it does show up be sure to notify them so they take it off the list.

Cheers, Tom

So notify the police? Report it as missing/ stolen?

Police refuse to get involved. They state it is completely out of their jurisdiction.
Gov wins again.
