Generally speaking, private individuals who are true firearms enthusiasts spending bid bucks on a rig like that, are seldom the ones who lose track of them. You can bet that rig was paid for and supplied by you and me. Somewhere out there a fed is, ahem, “passing” bricks right now, wondering how she’s going to explain it all away. Seen it happen. More than once.

If there is anything on it indicating that it is federal property it should be turned into some law enforcement agency. Preferably a sheriff rather than the local police. Be sure to get a signed receipt with a serial number just to create an official paper trail to make the sloppy feddy's life miserable rather than allowing it to be returned informally.
