I then proceeded to the police station to turn it in. i met with a cop in the parking lot of the station and pop the trunk on my scooter and pointed to gun and holster. He picked it up same as me bare handed and checked it out,then he put it in his squad car. i only learned a couple of days later that I can put a claim in on it and might be able to own it. The police clerk said I would have to put an add in the paper and wait 30 days before I could claim gun. I told her that no one gets the paper any more and left. I went back a couple of weeks later and they told me that the owner came and got his gun. He had placed it on the roof of his car and forgot about it and it slid off into the street. I was never thanked for turning it in.
That is one serious item to leave lying on his trunk.
