Say what??? How you would ever reach that conclusion with the two lousy sentences in that article is beyond my comprehension.

People lose all types of stuff on a daily basis.

The news article is extrememly vague, "lost" could be stolen for all we know so I think its a tad early to toss the guy in drug rehab.

it's entirely possible that he's not a drunk, a druggie, or completely retarded. i haven't lost a gun myself...yet. but i have a bad habit of "misplacing" my things.

I read the article three times looking for clues, lost is not stolen,I could be wrong but, but !!! It's vague, still makes me cringe though !

A guy I know lost his handgun.
A Kel-Tec P32, to be exact.

He reported it missing, then months later, when going through some things, he discovered it. He had moved, and at some point, the tiny pistol got placed/packed with items it should not have been with.

He called the police and let them know they could update their paperwork.

How about the veteran Easton cop that goes in the bathroom to take a dump while having lunch at the Lone Star in Wilson. Lays his weapon on the toilet paper dispenser and forgets it. By the time he remembers, it`s gone.
I spent half the day looking for stuff I just had.

The article put the gun's owner in a bad light.
I have seen an off duty cop loose a PPK on a ride at an amusment park. He did not know it until the ride attendant held it up and ask if it belonged to someone.
Personaly, I have never lost a gun. I did loose a good Swiss Army knife on a hike when I was aout 10.
