if you reported firearm stolen to police , and police have recovered it, they should notify you. if firearm is in a pawn shop for example, the only way you will know is if the pawn shop finds it listed by police, but dont hold your breath waiting for a pawn shop to offer it up. pawn shop paid for it and will want their money back. If the weapon has been legally pawned (which requires a considerable amount of paperwork) or sold and it is traced to the purchaser by authorities, the purchaser must relinquish the weapon upon receiving a writ of possession from authorities. The purchaser of the weapon cannot seek reimbursement from the legal owner or anyone else, and depending upon the circumstances he or she may be charged with dealing in stolen property. ask your local Police to run the serial number through the NCIC computer network..
