Lost a CZ Shadow 2 today

[RiverBend]

I've been following this thread to see which way it would go.
After I got out of the Navy in 91 I drove a beer truck in Atlanta and early one morning while making a delivery to the Gold Club I saw what I thought at first was a camera case.
I walked over and started to pick it up and realized it was a holstered pistol. Looked around, picked it up and saw it was a Glock, the first I had ever held.
I sat it in one of the trailer bays while I finished rolling beer then stuck it in the back of my pants and walked around front where everyone was running around in a panic.
I asked the security guard what was wrong and he said that the night manager lost his gun. I asked what kind of gun and he said 'a brand new Glock'.
I took out the holstered pistol and said 'this one?'.
I never considered keeping it, and working in the city, out early, I found several lost wallets and always found the owners and returned them.

I like to think I'm a decent person and I don't need any more bad Karma following me into the next life but....if I ever find a duffel bag full of cash I'm going to assume it's drug money and keep my mouth shut.
Like in Good Fellas 'don't buy nothing big'...

Gold Club you say, My son got busted in a stolen car with 2 dancers from there and had dope in the truck, I never visited that club although I did work at the Claremont Lounge a bit in the 70's when the dancers were all under 60.

The Clermont Lounge was also one of my accounts...I have a couple of weird stories from there as well...

Remember your 870 that laid in the swamp for a year+?

Hahaha! Yeah still haven't cleaned it, that was over 10 years ago. that's why you buy a 870 for duck hunting, when you're done for the day you just leave it out there propped up next to a tree for the next time.

I don't know why except I live in Dekalb county but the thought of turning a gun into the police that I found a range with a chance to find the owner seems like a good way for it to go missing permanently. Find it at any other public place -- oh yeah heading to the cops. I am glad this ended well and good to know about "lost " items.

Question -- I recall if nobody claimed a lost wallet that was turned in after so many days the finder could claim it. Is that true or a senior moment? At least with a gun the cops might find the original owner if the owner lived in the state.

he-he-he, well honestly if you hung around the Clermont very much at all you should have a lot more than a couple of weird stories!

At WMA ranges in Indiana we had to sign in at the main gate. I guess GA doesn't require that.

Hope you get it back. We've had loads of guns turned in at the gun club and always got them back to the owners.

You are supposed to sign in at WMA ranges, but I don't know how well it's enforced.

Serious question.

You are at an outdoor range like chestnut where there is no range officers, no office or check-in, no one else is there. You see a pistol sitting on the table. What is the correct thing to do?

Call the local PD.

I recently found two pistols that had been lost for over two years. I thought they were gone. Then I cleaned out a closet and found them in a knapsack I had put them in "for safekeeping." I had absolutely no idea that's where they were.
