Agreed. I’ll be looking to pick up my first graded Parker this summer (DH). I’ve made peace with willing to drive far and wide.

To close this chapter of the stolen gun saga, my insurance company is paying out the claim. They stated that if the gun does resurface, I can buy it back from them now that they own it, which I would like to do. Please keep your eyes open for a Grade 4 10ga lifter in nice shape with this SN. Thank you all for your help and concern.

My recent FedEx experience was also less then desirable on a different venue. I'm building a home in rural Texas with driveway which has a long curve and as we were landscaping their driver decided he would cut the corner and drove across the new sod (laid 30 minutes earlier) and right into open French Drain trench. Now he's stuck and trying to power out of the trench. Area of the yard must be re-leveled, new sod and French Drain must be redone. FedEx refuses any responsibility!!!!! They are no longer welcome on my property!!!!!!!!

The delivery trucks in our area are operated by independent contractors. Their name is on the side of the truck. They control the local drivers. Perhaps you could turn the heat up on them?

Opps !double on John’s post. Posted mine anyway same advise.

Important point on Fed Ex. Most home package delivery is through contractors. Fed Ex does not employ the driver or own the truck. If it’s visible in the video look on the trucks side just behind the drivers door, actual owner is listed. That’s were I would look for settlement if Fed Ex refuses.

Odds are good insurance carrier is after the contracted trucks owner now. The don’t pay and forget about it.

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that law enforcement paid as little attention as they did. Last time I checked, grand larceny was a felony.

As a retired Army officer and former Federal agent with DOJ and State Dept, I can
vouch for our changing enforcement policies that are top-down driven. The "new breed" of prosecutors are disgraceful in larger cities. Older agents are furious at current leadership. Both FEDEX and UPS are marginal in large urban areas.

I recently sold a pre-war Winchester Super Grade Model 70 to a Colorado hunter, and the
rifle sold mainly because I was headed to N. Mexico and could meet him. He had lost a rifle shipped a year before.. If it is critical-arrange guaranteed delivery. Insurance is mandatory. Caveat emptor -on both ends.
