I moved out of my mother's house just about a year ago and when I left, I left behind my 28" Mossberg 500A barrel (Click). Long story short, my uncle moved in and his tweaker girlfriend and her son tagged along, my mother caught them stealing some of her clothes and other things and kicked them all out about 4 months ago.
I got to thinking last night and was trying to find my other barrel and couldn't find it. Then I remembered that I left it in my old closet.
Went back tonight to pick it up and lo and behold, it's gone.
While I am extremely pissed that it's gone, I'm moreso angry that it was stolen from me.
More to the point, as far as retrieval, we found that they had run off and pawned my mother's laptop and her GPS for her car. I'm wondering, should I call around to pawn shops (there's about 3 of them here) and gun shops and ask if they've bought any shotgun barrels recently? And if so, is there any way I can retrieve it? I checked my 18" barrel and it doesn't appear to have any serial numbers on it, so I think it's unlikely that it can be matched or that I can really prove that it's mine.
Should I report this to the police even though it's something that happened 4 months ago?
