stolen firearm?

I was reading the "stolen firearm?" post by aerogenius1, and tobefree's idea is something I think is very needed. I had a pistol with a lot of sentimental value (not much else) go missing. I reported it to the local sheriff (still have the box it came in, bill of sale). A couple of months later, I asked a friend on the police force to see if there had been any action on the pistol. He said it was not in the computer, but he would put it in. After a year or so, I asked another friend to check on it. He said it was not in the computer and he would personally put in the weapon. Well, at last check, it IS NOT in any law enforcement computers. What do I do now?

I did just that this afternoon, I hope the paper acts on it and not just brush it under the carpet. I think the power of the press is a good thing (only if used properly).
I ended up hearing from the estate people today that were selling the shotgun. It never sold, I got the S/N from them and had the county sheriff run the number. It was stolen! I then accompanied the police in returning the gun to the rightful owner and he offered me a reward. I declined and felt just fine that I did my good deed for the year.
I hope things work out for you,

But consider, he is putting the information into a "computer."
That statement alone should be enough of an explanation.
But I will take it a step farther.
Has your computer ever crashed, where you have lost information?
Have you ever bought a new program, and was "guaranteed" my the salesman that all of your old data would transfer over to the new program with "no problems?"
I know, most important systems have backups, but sometimes "stuff" happens.
