First off, this is NOT what they teach children. We teach children to tell "an adult".Why not do what they tell kids to do when they find a gun? Leave it alone and tell the police.
Even if it were used in a crime, it is a shotgun. VERY unlikely it could actually be linked to a crime and would likely be kept by police with the excuse "just in case we hear something". It was most likely, as previously stated, the object of a crime, stolen and dumped in fear. If this is the case, it probably wouldn't be the original owners property anyways. It would belong to the insurance company that paid the claim. If this is the case, returning it to the original owner would cause a crime since it is no longer theirs, they would be in possession of stolen property. I'm not a lawyer, and this IS the internet (as invented by Al Gore), but this is usually the case regarding stolen property and I stayed at a Holiday Inn once.....
