Anybody who has ever had a gun stolen don't lose hope. I saw this on CalGuns.net

Stolen Ruger recovered after 42 years
Back 1973 when I was a young guy I bought a Ruger MK I 22. While out of town for a week my residence was broken into and ransacked. The burglars took my Ruger. Not much else was taken because I didn't really have much else.
It was reported to the local PD, but never recovered, until this week.
Seems there was a disturbance at a southern California high school, where a student threatened to go home and get a gun. This school district has their own PD who responded to the event. These officers did a good thorough investigation and ended up recovering my Ruger from a family member of the wayward student. This family member claimed they bought it at a southern California pawn shop around 1980. Sounds a little like BS to me.
The officer said the gun is still in pretty nice shape and that after they send it to the crime lab I should be able to get it back.
So to you other folks who have fallen victim to thieves and crooks, have hope, someday your stuff may find its way back to you. You may be an old fart on medicare and social security, but it could happen.
