Found a AR on my property
 

I am finishing a house, my rental. We were in the process of a 50 yard pour this morning finishing up the driveway and the stupid well required by the city that ate up about 5 yard of concrete. Guys showed up early, at 6:30 for a last minute prep as they wait for the concrete truck to arrive. Upon moving some plywood and junk that was leaning up against the fence, they found an AR that was hidden behind there. I arrived about 7 thinking it would be a great day and go home by noon and let 'em finished up. I called the cops immediately and they took the gun away because I have no clue how it got there. They asked all of us few questions took some notes and left. The women next door was there and told me that the lady on the other side of me has a trouble son that's been in trouble many times since his youth. The cops nodded and they know about him and he on their radar. They all seem to think its his but he no longer lives there. I suppose he will be in for a big surprise when he comes back for it. the whole place is cleaned up, no more mess and no more gun. Crazy.

The gun was hidden on my side of the fence where the new post are under some construction materials.

It went from messy dirt to this. Guys finishing up.

Front of house this morning with dirt and trash piled up to the eye balls. I decided its best to clean it up and haul it out asap, so it went. Need to finish up the color coat on my stucco, and install rain gutters and it is done. Ready for some rental income on the two houses.

On the drive home, I kept wondering if he's going to give me carp about his gun thinking maybe I kept it? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1680933538.jpg

Hey it wouldn't allow me to upload the other two pics

When I click and drag, there's an X on the photo and blocks me out

Anyway, may not be so important to see a bunch of mess. I just want wanted to show you guys where the gun was hidden with all the mess around

Interesting... You really have to wonder what's going on in someone mind if they think it's OK to hide a gun on someone else's property. :confused:

(obvious post warning) If he ever approaches you about the gun, call the cops.

I am there once a week to see progress. Yeah, I hear ya. I am thinking I should have a word with mom but I think she had enough of his BS. Plus, I have no proof. Still, I just may inform her that a gun was found on my side of the property hidden against her white lattes fencing and that she should be careful about people that comes and goes around here. I think she will get the message. This is not a run down area, its pretty typical middle to upper middle class folks that live there. Hey, you just never know.

Good call not keeping the gun and letting the police deal with it.

It would be just your bad luck if you kept it and it turned out the bullet/rifling matched a crime scene item.

Screw that man. I don't feel like going back to jail...and getting gang rape again.:D Plus, I am not a gun guy.

Yeah, that sort of thing gives jail a bad name LOL

I’m stuck just looking at the sun in the pictures. We are on month 6 of continuous rain and I’m about to lose it.

LOL ....

1) Take the AR and shoot up the local Post Office (at night ... hurting no one).
2) Knock on neighbor's door and return his rifle.
3) Call the popo!

You can bet yer sore azz that it's stolen....

Wipe off your fingerprints .... they have them on file :D

I keep a lot of things I find, but finding an AR, I'd definitely turn it in. It could be a murder weapon. Not worth it for $600 or so that you could buy one for if that's why I'd even keep it. What's the point?

But, if I found a box with an old antique Colt, gold doubloons or other, I'd most likely just keep it.

So, those special knee floats(?) are kinda cool. Obviously they keep a worker from mucking up the float.

Wow. 50 yards is a LOT of concrete. That's 1350 cubic feet.

Just get it checked with the cops in case it was stolen or used in crime
if not
free AR !

But the skiing has been good

Me neither...cannot even spell AR.

I prob would have kept it....at least to see how it works on those pesky little red squirrels.

I doubt that's how it works in CA. I'd have kept it, maybe swapped out the barrel and bolt and then tossed the old ones into the ocean.

Hand finished? Yes, that’s a lot but this was 21,200 yards.

More on the pour here.

I had the good fortune to work with the Field Operations Superintendent before he went out West. Absolute rockstar.

171 did exactly the right thing in my opinion since he owns the business and his employees found the AR...an AR of dubious pedigree just isn't worth the potential grief or intrigue.

I guess it depends on where you live, but when I found a gun the deputy picking it up asked if I wanted it if it came back not stolen and unclaimed and clean after a few months... Considering it was a POS plastic S&W and in multiple pieces, I declined...

Not really. He doesn't have a permit to posses it. Cops aren't gonna just leave it with him. CA doesn't like guns, much less assault types.

However, Look should have claimed the turn in fee! :D

Was it loaded?

I had 8 finishers humping that day. Started at 7, finished up by 2pm.

Not sure, I shoulda peek into the barrel. :p

Was there blood and guts all over the place and blood splattered up against the wall.

We know the gun was not there the night before for sure. My guys leaned the three pieces of plywood against the fence along with some wires and a bunch of 2x4s in the same area to get ready for the pour next morning. When they pulled out the materials the next morning, there it was an AR. None of them wanted to touch it but called me immediately and sent me pics of it as I was driving down. I called the cops immediately. We both showed up about 10 min later.

I saw the gun, it was pretty clean with a couple of scratches on it. Looks like it was used or in car terms, a driver.

Dang Milt, now you tell me.

Yeah, they skate across the top without sinking in. They use it to work the finish.

I wonder how many Trigger pins it had. Two or three pins.

If it has three things get super spicy

'Splain it to me please.....

AR's have a trigger pin and a hammer pin. The third pin is located above and forward of the safety. This third pin is the auto sear pin. An M-16 (military full auto has this pin). The standard AR-15 lacks this item.

If the guy comes back and asks you questions, I'd deny and say the crew foreman called the PD.

I had an elderly neighbor in Metro DC who's thirtysomething son lived with her. One time he decided to park his 18 wheeler tractor on our street for several days. Someone (wink wink) called the PD after a few days since it was against the city code.

He approached me a few weeks later and asked if I had called the PD. Nope, I did not, I said. Well it sucks, he said, I got a $400 ticket. Ouch, that really does suck I said.

If he had gotten away with it, we would have had the entire 18 wheeler on the street eventually.

Same for your situation. If you didn't call the PD, next thing he would have been hiding his C-4 on your property.

I wonder if the cops will keep you informed of their investigation. Is the gun registered to the neighbor you think hid it on your property? Did they talk to him?

I used to watch those public storage auction shows. As I recall, they explained that any found guns were seized by the ATF as there was no way to legally transfer them.

Registered??

Hahahahahahaha.

Depending on the state, and most of them allow private party transfers between residents of the same state, ATF would have nothing to say about it. I can see how the storage facility owner may not want to know what's in there or get involved. But if I buy an abandoned storage unit at auction in AZ where I live, and I find guns in the unit - they are then my guns. Anything they were involved in prior to coming into my possession isn't my problem. If it's an NFA item, then I have to jump through some hoops to legally keep them. But I'm under no obligation to even attempt to ascertain something is not stolen, especially if I'm not reselling it.

Happy to amuse you. If it was purchased in CA (not sure what time frame), it's automatically registered. Or, maybe it was registered to the person it was stolen from, or? I'm sure the police are investigating- just wondering what info they might share.
