I had a booth at the Kenner gun show about a year ago. After the show, while I was busy bringing items from the table to my truck a pistol was stolen from the inside of my vehicle. It was a HK USP .45, and a gun I was very attached to, I waited 8 months for it to come in back in '94 when I bought it new. My vehicle was not locked because A "friend" was helping me pack up and was at the vehicle most of the time while we were loading it. My truck was parked not even 10yds from the door where myself and many others were talking and BS'ing about the day. I did not notice it was missing until about half way to BR and after I had dropped off my "friend" to his car.
I went back to the Pontchartrain center the next day to file a police report and inquire about security cameras. Turns out there was a security camera pointed at my vehicle but from far away. I was not able to recognize faces only figures but it did not matter because the only person who came near my vehicle for any amount of time was my "friend" who helped me at the show. I would not accuse anyone if there is any doubt at all, but after this incident he and I parted ways without ever letting him know I saw the video. I reported the theft to Kenner PD and the gun has been in the NCIC computer as stolen for a year now.
I would like to know if I can check to see if this gun has been recovered. Also if it is found would I even be contacted? What if it is found in another state? I am sure others here have had firearms stolen and may also want to know this information. I miss my .45!
Thanks
