That’s interesting. I had a neighbor (HP Trooper) that I asked if he could run one to check if stolen and at that time he had to have probable cause to run it. It was actually illegal for him to do so otherwise.
I wonder how the PD caught it?
Who knows. Said the guy that contacted me to buy it, was a cop. He ran the sn number. When he saw it was reported stolen he contacted the detective. Either way. I don’t have it any longer and hope that the original owner gets it back at some point.
Well shucks, hoping to one day get it back.
But what happened to you sucks worse, I would be pretty upset under those conditions. It's basically like it was stolen from you by loosing a gun in the deal.
I know mine was just a Taurus but it was the most accurate 1911 I ever shot.
Owner probably will get it back, FWIW.
Has me thinking of doing a bill of sale from now on,
I don't think it'd be right to report your original trade as stolen, but I have another question...
Do you have no choice in keeping the firearm? If it is reported as stolen and you can prove that you purchased it legally from a private party, why should you be the one to pay the price?

Possession of stolen property.
