Once again, thanks to all for the input. I spoke with the a homicide division (they handle this issue) and was told I cannot legally own the gun regardless of the circumstancesn with our customer and their belongings. I must turn the gun over to them and they will run the numbers and unless my name comes back as the owner they will keep the gun and investigate the owner history. I called dispatch and they are sending someoneout to pick it up. So, there you go..........

Thanks for some great advice. One mentioned "do the right thing" and that is always my intent. My company (me) legally owns the firearm by law, besides the fact I lost significant $$ on the transaction. I am going to take pictures and hand that over first and then the gun if required by HPD. Thanks again for the input.

I would appreicate some advice. I am in the automobile business whereby we repossess vehicles that default on our finance contracts. I picked up a vehicle that the owner was unfortunately killled in an accident. My mechanic found a 38 cal. revolver in the vehcile that was never claimed (law requires we hold personal belongings for 30 days and notify owner by mail). How would I go about making sure the gun is clean and have sufficient documents for keeping the gun? I have been told (not sure I am believe it's true) that police officers will rarley return found weapons if I turn it in to them. Please advise.
