Having to sift through a dead man's gun stuff

[BigNate]

I've done it twice now... for two different friends of the family. It's no fun - but good to ensure that the surviving family doesn't get taken advantage of. Thanks for doing this...

UPDATE:

Well, a lot has transpired behind the scenes since May.

Glendale PD did come up with suspects. But one, in particular, they found his fingerprints all over the interior of the house, and was charged with a handful of things. The detectives have been awesome,...but the court,...not so much. The prosecutors bargained a whole bunch of stuff downward to where the dude only served 6 months.

The good news, however, is that while in jail, he apparently made enemies;...enemies that at first were friends, and whom he had shared details of the crimes and stolen goods, including where he had stashed a lot of it, intending to come back for it all after getting out. Glendale PD detectives served warrants on those locations and retrieved much of the stolen stuff. And the detectives themselves are apparently so disappointed with their own prosecutor in this thing, that because of the guns angle, have wispered in the ear of the feds that this would be a good case for them to take away for themselves so the guy does some federal time for gun theft. No word yet on if that is actually going to happen, but one can hope. (It's an odd feeling to be rooting for the feds to prosecute a gun thing, but oh well.)

The dude was released today from his 6 months, and is back in the neighborhood. Apparently some of the other unprosecuted suspects who were directly involved with him in the burglary also still reside in the hood. Our friend, the victim, is a little worried about her own safety about bumping into the guy. But Glendale detectives told her that it is their opinion he is bitter and more distracted with the fall out with his homies who ratted him out and that if anyone is in danger, it is them all currently paranoid with and pissed off at each other.

Lets hope that the feds decide this guy is deserving of some attention very soon.

Not the update we wanted but can’t say I’m surprised.

[BigNate]

Not surprising given the current political climate around prosecutors offices... The "punishing crime is racist" mindset is simply absurd.

Kudos for the help you're giving. I have all of my weapons in a spreadsheet, what the current value is and other info just for this reason. I don't reload anymore so that's out of th equation. I also have every round of ammo in another spreadsheet. That may be more diffiicult to value down the road.

But with over 42K rounds of assorted ammo I'm pretty sure my son will get most of everything anyway.
