    Default Plymouth Meeting cops took gun

    Long story short, a co worker had a car towed and they found his legally owned firearm in it. The towing company called the cops and Plymouth Meeting cops took it. He went to pick it up but the police are refusing to give it back, saying that it will take 2 to 4 weeks. I'm guessing the best way to handle this would be to get a lawyer. Anyone know of a good one in the area?

    I can't help but wonder what Towtruck Tony was looking for inside of the vehicle....

    A flatbed just came to pick my truck up about 30min ago. The guy started it and drove
    it on the bed, that was it. Sounds to me the police just stole a firearm out of someones car.

    Poop in a bag, throw it in the PD parking lot. Do it enough times and you win. Of course you have to fully understand the *wholesale vs retail* relationship to fully *get ahead* in this game. I usually go for the 10:1 ratio. So, if they stole a $700 retail(adjusted for Covidiot inflation) Glock, and a Haz-mat Mexican Buffet dookie-bag, properly delivered, costs roughly $500 to clean up, you*ll need to revisit the Mexican Buffet at least 15 times. Then factor in the cost of *easily ripped* plastic bags, air fresheners for your delivery vehicle( I prefer Enterprise) , then add in any costs ASSociated with a random* littering violation* and you*re gonna need to rent a bus and get the whole family involved.
    See how this stuff gets out of hand quickly? We need to hire cops that respect the law, or we wind up with a really shitty condition pretty fast.
    Hope this helps, or at least provides a giggle on a Monday. I*m waiting for an engineer to get back to me with a flow-rate calculation. I was perfectly willing to just go with the S.W.A.G. method, but they said no. ( scientific wild-assed guess)

    Did he ever ask the dept. holding it why it would take 2 to 4 weeks to get it back? There could be a logical reason, the evidence officer is on vacation for one. I suggest he talk to the chief and asked for an explanation before running to an attorney.

    Evidence, was a crime committed? Oh yeah, the cop stealing the firearm.

    Was a receipt issued by the *confiscating cop*? If not, yes, he violated law, and was stealing it.
