Well... Crap.

The ATF doesn't care. This is not a federal crime. They'll refer you to your local PD. And it's not "petty theft". It's burglary. It's a felony (or perhaps multiple felonies depending on circumstances).

The evil x who stole my guns was charged and convicted of federal crimes for stealing guns. The judge asked the ATF prosecutor why it was a federal crime. She basically said since the guns crossed state lines for me to purchase (but never left the state after being stolen) it was a federal crime.

All guns recovered at pawn shops since they checked serial numbers.
