So I’ve seen this happen to someone I know

Bought a gun on gunboker, had it transferred to dealer as it was another state, all done in acccordance with law

Purchaser gets stopped by hillbilly cop with an attitude, more shit happens and when the serial number is run it comes up stolen

Apparently the seller sold a lot of his collection then claimed they were stolen and filed insurance claim, if the other chain of events had not occurred he would have gotten away with it, however the law took offense, did their job and seller caught a couple years in jail and a felony record for it

Excellent. That jerkwad deserved it.

Insurance fraud is a crime against all the other insurance company’s customers. Glad the jerk got prison and a record.

I remember that happening to a guy who bought a hunting rifle advertised for sale in the want adds.
A few years later he took the rifle to Canada for hunting, then was arrested when he returned to the US and declared the rifle at the border.
It seems the original owner who had sold it to him also listed it as a firearm stolen from him in a later burglary.
