I had a revolver stolen from me in 2006.TPD called today and told me i can go to the property room in a few days to pick it up.I saw on their website i will need proof of ownership.I bought the gun from Academy sports in 2006 and i don't have the receipt.Also, I now live over 3 hours away could i just have them send it to my lgs? I hate to have to drive toTulsa for this because they close at 11:30 a.m. and i have to make and appointment.
In okc, I had to pay $10 and get on the court docket. From the time I was notified that they had my gun, it was 5 months later before I got it back. They kept canceling the court date for some reason.
OKCPD didn't require me to show ownership, but I was was the one who reported it stolen. I had to show ID, pass FBI check, and sign that it was my property. I don't think they will ship it, to much trouble and there may be some regulations,(federal) that would prevent that.
Academy will have the 4473 if you know the day you bought it would help. They are however under no obligation to share it with you
I always took pictures of my guns (before the boating accident) to include the S/N. Ownership doesn't always come with a receipt.
I didn't have to pay $10, but it was over 3 years before I got it back because of court delays and then the property room doesn't communicate with the detectives very well. I had 12 pistols stolen, have recovered one in bad shape. Total value over $15,000. From a Taurus 22cal revolver to a 1959 Colt SAA revolver.
I don't have pictures but that's probably a great idea. I do have a list with a description of every gun, including serial number and accessories like scopes, etc. Fortunately, I haven't had any stolen but could provide at least a SN, model no., barrel length, etc. if I ever do.
I went to OKCPD property room several years ago to recover a stolen pistol. Just had to show ID.
Of course, this was over 20 years ago.
I do remember they wouldn't give me the ammo at the same time. I would have to come back another day to get the 13 rounds of 9mm hamdloads.
I let the cops keep them.

I do have the serial number and gave it to the police when it was stolen in 2006.I didn't know i would have to go to court to get my pistol back.This may be more of a headache than it is worth unless i can just go to the property room without too much hassle.
(Dripping sarcasm) Now that isn't the same pistol I sold you in 2005 is it? I might find that BILL OF SALE for ya
