Stolen gun or senior moment? UPDATE
I’m short a Rossi. Two actually. A trapper with a nice tiger striped stock and a 20”. Anybody here buy those from me? This is the only place I would have moved them. Both are super slicked.
Yup! That would be a senior moment.
That gun is next to my daughters bed. Gave it to her last year.

Re: Stolen gun or senior moment?
It is quite possible you will find them under your bed or some other innocuous place where you put them for safe-keeping, but so you could get to them easily. Just before I left on an extended trip I put my Cold Steel Hunter in a safe place. That was almost 3 years ago. I have yet to find it.

I hate it when I do that.
On the other hand, when I eventually find them, it’s always a pleasant surprise...

Re: Stolen gun or senior moment?
I recently did something like that. Hope you figure it out quick.

Re: Stolen gun or senior moment?
It's there in the house....guaranteed 100% it was not stolen.
There's a .380 Ruger and a Smith .32 New Departure somewhere around here....ain't seen either one in five to 10 years.

I once lost an Ithica SxS 20 ga for 4 or 5 years, only found it when we were moving. I could not begin to explain why it was broken down in the back of a closet shelf behind a bunch if sweaters. Keep looking!

Re: Stolen gun or senior moment?
Well not being a senior(at the time) I once set my K22 on a stump in a silage pit to go take a phone call, days later I found it right where I left it!
Just a couple years ago I was robbed, at the range. That thief was very good as they put it back in my safe! Yes I looked in my safe 4 times before I went into panic mode, going to the police to file a report, they did investigate. About 3 months later it was back in my safe... I felt like such a moron when I called the officer to admit I had it all the time!

Re: Stolen gun or senior moment?
Thanks for making me feel better.
When we left for the "Winter of Fun" trip last year I hid most of my guns in the house and left a couple red headed step children in the safe. Somewhere in my house there is a Ruger P-95 playing hide 'n seek with me and so far it's winning.

I found a Freedom Arms mini revolver yesterday that I thought I sold years ago!
Re: Stolen gun or senior moment?
This.
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Re: Stolen gun or senior moment?
Lost my p/u keys the other day... my son asked me 3 times if I looked in the center console of the other p/u... so I looked... nope not there. Ummm... when he looked, there they were! I'm blaming it on needing new glasses... or, maybe that black on black thing: black key, black fob in a black box... Whatever, they weren't on the ring where they belong!
Last nite, during my first reloading session in months, I lost a pin from my Dillon... I'm sure it's laying on the concrete floor, but among all the spilled spent primers I can't find it... but it's not a problem, one phone call to Dillon and a new one is in the mail!!!
Then there's my Combat Commander... trusty companion for nearly 30 years... found it's holster in my "range bucket"... and went looking for it... not anywhere in the house... searched both pickups, the farm tractor, even my Kenworth... all the garage, the barn, workshop, even the late wife's sewing room, which has become the storage room for my gun cases and several K rounds of ammo... to no avail... then last Saturday, my local gunsmith called and said that the first week of December I should get it back! New sights and a pretty new bluing job!

Re: Stolen gun or senior moment?
Lost a couple guns a few years back, and after checking all three safes I was certain they'd been stolen while I was loading things back into my Suburban at the end of our gun show. Then I thought I better check all my hard cases I have stacked in a corner of my gun room. Sure enough, two of the cases were heavy and I found the two missing guns still in them.
And just the other day I misplaced my engraved Hepburn! I have one safe for old Remingtons, and one for Marlins, and Ballard rifles. The third is for misc. rifles. Sure enough, I somehow stuck the Hepburn in with my Ballard rifles when I finished cleaning it after a shoot.

Re: Stolen gun or senior moment? UPDATE
As we age our brains get like a computer hard drive that has absorbed all of the information that it can hold.....anymore, I just let information go in one ear and out the other. But I'll NEVER forget my appointment to pick up that cool gun I ordered.
Point is most of us remember what we want to remember....a "senior moment" is actually forgetting something that IS important.....make sense Tycer?-----6

Yep. When the riots started I sent her home with it. She's familiar with it and it digests 38 Special Speer 135 grain gold dot LEs perfectly.

Re: Stolen gun or senior moment? UPDATE
A couple years ago I had the exact opposite problem.! I was moving the gun room downstairs after the boy moved out. I found two SxS hammer guns that to this day I do not remember getting.
