Turn it in to the local police. I pulled a bone head stunt several years ago and left my pistol on the tool box. It rode well for about 10 miles and fell off in the drive way of a convience store. I freaked out when I could not find my gun and immediately called the police. I was afraid some kid would find it and someone might get hurt and that would be on my conscience. Luckily some good guy found my pistol in the driveway of the store and turned it in to the police. I got it back a few days later with just a few scratches.
Some one took care of me when I made a stupid mistake, the next guy would probably appreciate the return of his gun, if nothing else just to ease his mind.
