Indianapolis PD firearm seizure, no return

[bgcatty]

Pro bono? Seriously? What makes you think an attorney would take this case on for free given that it will probably be time consuming and require a lot of attention? Go pay a retainer to an attorney and get the matter squared away.

 

[Anima mundi]

Let me know how that works out. Better yet, tell me when you are going so I can watch.

Hey, it worked for Cliven Bundy.

When I lose my machineguns, I always check first behind my shop ........











in the dark alley........











inside my unsecured trailer........

Personally, I'd call them every single day until they returned my property.

I'd be nice and let them take it to eagle Creek while I was waiting.

WITH a lawyer it took Andrew, from ProFire arms, over ONE year to get his STOLEN weapons back. In the meantime a number of IPD would check HIS weapons out of the property room and shoot at Eagle Creek range, he was told this this by TWO employees there.

When he got them back they were TRASHED!!!!!!!!!!!! IMPD at its finest.

Where do you get this from.

I wouldn't let Frank take it to eagle Creek, I'm still mad about the titty twister he gave me.

Them and my city council person, county commissioner. I would go to the monthly meetings and ask the question every month... someone would get tired of me.

The proverbial 'squeaky wheel and all'. Style...

I remember in the past MCSD would auction off guns and use the money for their training fund. Being in the business at the time I found it a place you could pick up some decent guns inexpensively. Today it's my understanding that the guns are destroyed so I don't see any monetary motivation to keep them if they can be returned, it's just paying for storage and scrapping.

 

[BigMoose]

The thing to see is the Marion county crime lab's "gun library". It would put most gun stores to shame. I am guessing that maybe some came from the property room.

That is all I am going to say about that

But the property room is not bad ether.

I picked up a nice Colt Cobra from one of those auctions back in the 70s for $150. As nice as any that had been tossed in the barrel they transported them in to the auction anyway. Still have it. The finish is worn off now from accompanying me thru the years.
Ahh... the good old days.

You could make out all but one number in the serial number but the officer said it wasnt good enough...

You can't enter partials or variables into NCIC.

If it was an iPhone, then I could search for partials, approximates, and contains in the pawn system. Nothing similar exists for guns, so there's no transaction records to search like you can with (now electronic) pawn slips.

 

[cayce]

That’s not true. None of it.

Cayce, this is your final warning to quit grinding your axe on this site. The staff has had about enough of your attitude.

Delete this.

 

[churchmouse]

The firearm owner, Andrew, told me this FIRST HAND. I am sure others here who were employees can vouch for that. Sorry if the truth hurts.But opinions don't change that.

We all know Andrew. VUPD is LEO. I really think you are either mistaken or just wrong.

 

[VUPDblue]

He’s just wrong.

The guns were never in possession of IMPD, were never taken to ECPR, and were returned to Andrew in whatever condition they were recovered in.

If Andrew said that IMPD played with his guns then he was flat-out lying.

“The truth hurts” ... it certainly does, and it’s on IMPD’s side on this one. Anything you got from Andrew or any of his associates is second-hand to you and therefore nothing more than heresay. I can tell you with 100% certainty that no shenanigans occurred with his guns at the hand of IMPD, and that’s fact, not opinion.

 

[wrigleycub]

Same type of occurance happened today me. I’ll spare you the long drawn out details and let you know this. You better be more persistent than they are. You you had better be committed to getting yourself ur property back. It took me 21 months, 14 visits to the CC building, 2 meetings with judges and their advice, 2 calls with attorneys. Finally 21 months later my firearm was returned, and for sure not in the condition they received it. Numerous scratches, gauges, and a massive wear spot on the slide from a large zip tie that they run through it.
