If they are already the owners of the gun can't the police just send it to them in the mail just like sending your gun off to a smith to have work done to it?

I'd venture to guess that the police department doesn't make it a habit of shipping anything. Legality of it aside, I don't see them taking the necessary steps to ship it.

First thing, as others have said, determine WHO holds the property. If they were in an accident on the interstate/highway, then it is likely that the State Patrol has the firearm, not the local PD.
If CSP has it, you could likely initiate contact at your local CSP barracks for info on how to best proceed.
If, in fact, the Limon PD has it, give them a call ((719) 775-9211)to find out what your options are.
If everyone you call plays dumb, file a stolen firearm report ASAP, as stated above (and it may not hurt to let that intention slip, when talking to any/all agencies you contact).

Not likely in today's political climate. May require a BGC, since it's been more than 72hrs. Don't know what precedent has been set, regarding "police hold" (for lack of a better term) of lawfully owned firearms not used in the commision of a crime. There is a thread about this situation happening in Fort Collins, but I don't recall how that panned out, and I'm too lazy to search it for a link. It IS Saturday morning, after all.

You're busy watching cartoons, aren't you?

After enough harassment from the courts and local news station, the FCPD had to return the firearms through an FFL, with back groung checks of course.

I wouldn't call it "busy".

To the OP:

If you end up driving to Limon to pick up the firearm, stop in at the Ace Hardware and the Big R. R is usually good for some reasonably priced 22lr, and the Ace has a decent gun counter and reloading supplies.

Oops...I let the cat out of the bag.
