“LAPD officers have been working through the painstaking process of recovering and rendering approximately 500 firearms safe,” he said in an LAPD news release. “We recognize that these firearms may hold significant sentimental value to their owners, whether as family heirlooms, historical pieces or personal mementos, and we are doing our best to reunite them with their owners.”
“Despite the condition of these recovered weapons, the department remains committed to ensuring that these items are properly processed, identified and when appropriate, returned to their rightful owners,” the LAPD media release states.
All community members must be able to provide personal identifying information, such as proof of address and a description of the firearm.

Is it just me, or does everything about this thing stink?
That’s a better excuse than a “boating accident.”
It’s possible they’ve traced some of the guns to shooting crimes.
rendered safe? that means “we break your guns so YOU can’t ever use the again” followed by an evil laugh.
What are they doing picking them up in the first place? It’s all on private property.
Properly processed must be the code words for added to the illegal database.
Well isn't that mighty big of them.
Don’t bother looking for your missing guns.
We already found them for you.
After the fire and everything related, recovering what’s left of my firearms would down the list a bit.
Which implies LEOs entered private property and looted through the debris like any other looter.
I remember reading of a man who legally owned a mint condition Thompson sub machine gun. Unfired! Licensed, taxed and registered.
One day the cops came and confiscated it. Again MINT condition. After a couple of years he finally got it back, so rusted up it was worthless.
I remember reading of the 1800s British in South Africa calling in all native muskets and refused to give them back.
Finally the natives got them back so damaged they would never fire again.
That's not what the LA Mayor Bass is promoting for a large LA tax increase to cover the costs of re-building from that horror she missed while out of country.
I'm still waiting to hear why the closest and largest reservoir was covered over for maintenance and why so many hydrants didn't have water, both during the Santa Ana fire season.
Yet, she left after being given strong warnings the hurricane winds could be arriving just days before. I just don't understand Angelinos and why she hasn't been recalled or fired.
That’s where all mine were lost. I still cry at night.
“Which implies LEOs entered private property and looted through the debris like any other looter.”
.
Gun-safes stood out.

That is because gun safes are designed to withstand
bad fires, as is most other safes.
I’m curious how they got them opened.
Hiring locksmiths would be my guess...
“I’m curious how they got them opened.”
I am sure “public safety” required angle grinders to cut them open.
I’ve rented huge angle grinders. Gun-safes have several big steel pins holding the door closed—with concrete as insulation.
You’d need cutting wheels for each material and then risk igniting any flammables inside.
Our walk-in gun safe had 12 cylindrical locking bolts. Each was about 1-inch in diameter!
