Question: My house in CA got raided and 2 of my shotguns were confiscated by police because according to them they were stolen, but they aren't. How can I get my shotguns back in my possession?“Stolen” from who?And were you arrested for being possession of stolen property?Let’s go with the first one: Did you or did you not purchase the firearms from a licensed firearms dealer? If so, then you should be able to locate a receipt or a credit slip, or have the credit card issuer send you a copy of your monthly statement that you can then take back to the business and have them provide you with a record of the sale.If you purchased the firearms from a private party, then things are going to get dicey. Unless you are certain that the private party didn’t steal the weapons, nor bought them stolen, you have no idea about the provenance of those weapons. If that’s the case, you may want to get an attorney, and write off the weapons as they are unlikely to ever be returned to youWhich is it?As to the second one: If you weren’t arrested for possession of stolen property, especially firearms, then that’s VERY odd. If, as you claim, your home was “raided” (I assume that you mean that a search warrant was served, and your home was subject to a search defined by the warrant) then even if the weapons weren’t what the police were seeking, your possession of them should have been grounds for you to have been arrested. And the police would have only discovered that the weapons were indeed reported stolen hours or days later when they inventoried and inspected the items seized from your home. They wouldn’t check them while in your home for a host of reasons.If they did discover that you were in possession of stolen goods, if you escaped arrest after the search warrant, you would be arrested NOW if you are foolish enough to try to reclaim stolen property. Obviously if the weapons have been reported as being stolen, then person in whose possession they were is likely a suspect in their theft. It would be unwise to attempt to reclaim the firearms until after you have spoken with an attorney and received advice from him or her.Unless you bought the firearms new or used from a licensed dealer, then I would suggest writing them off as a loss. You have no proof that they were not stolen at some point and attempting to retrieve alleged stolen property is going to simply cause you more problems that you already seem to have. Either way, talk with an attorney before you proceed.

I can help with this seeing as how I am a manager at a pawnshop!Whenever we take in an item, we take the persons info and also info on the item. Brand, model, serial, etc. Every night that info gets uploaded into a site called leadsonline and the police have access to it. They can see what we took in on a particular day and the persons info who sold/pawned the item.I assume that when someone makes a stolen property report they give a description. That might include a model number and a serial number for said stolen item. They input the info into that site and if they get a hit then they call us asking to put it on hold and typically come in the next 2–3 days to confiscate. We obviously know who brought it in, seeing as how we took their info and is in the system, so we then lock that persons account and put a description of what happened.It wouldn’t do me any good to call you seeing as how the item is gone. Once it’s put on hold I can’t release the item even if you wanted to get it back. It isn’t my job to go looking for you since there isn’t anything I could do. Maybe restitution for loss of money, but that isn’t worth my time chasing after.Now it doesn’t matter if it was an item you stole, or you brought in for someone else and they stole it. YOU brought the item in and I lost money on it and don’t have a way to get any of it back. Why would I then trust you to bring in another item? The only thing left to do is to tell you you’re not allowed in the store and kick you out.

I would do nothing. Don’t sign into whatever account it’s in either. In other words, forget it and the account it’s in exists - for now.Here’s why: First, because it’s incredibly unlikely that someone accidentally transferred $750k of their own BC to you. A purchase of goods in that amount is unlikely, and even less likely (to the point of “damn near impossible”) is making a mistake with the destination address.In fact, I can think of only one semi-plausible scenario where that much BC might have been transferred to you: a hacker who had accumulated a bunch of stolen Bitcoin was trying to move/consolidate it, and mistakenly copied/pasted a destination address from his list of (stolen) addresses in place of his own. And the one he pasted happened to be yours.That means (1) your address is on a list of stolen information, and (2) you just received stolen property.So I definitely wouldn’t return it, because if you do that, the thief wins. But I also wouldn’t turn it over to the government, because the most likely scenario is that it’s a foreign hacker who they would have no ability to identify or pursue anyway.Obviously the thief is never going to report it stolen, and it’s probable that it wasn’t stolen recently either - most likely it’s an accumulation of smaller amounts of BC that were lost way back in the Mt Gox hack, which means nobody is looking for it.The US government considers Bitcoin property, not currency, and the statute of limitations of felony receipt of stolen property is three years. However, if you haven’t even logged into that account in three years then it’s entirely possible you didn’t know it was there, clearly weren’t a party to the theft, and didn’t even know that, how, or why it landed with you. But if you transfer it or cash out now, you’re on the record.Most likely, there will be no investigation and nobody is looking for it. If three years pass and it’s still showing in your wallet, do whatever you like. If you decide to cash out after three years have passed, declare it as income, pay the taxes on it, and enjoy the windfall.Edit: Anyone posting comments of the “transfer it to me” variety, or sharing a bitcoin address, will be deleted and blocked. You guys doing this are pathetic.
