The difference is that bad cops aren't just jerks. They're jerks with the power that can f**k up the rest of your life big time. Even a little screw up by them can cost you big bucks and life disruption. That's why I think they need to be held to a higher standard of performance and ethics than most other people.
We had something similar happen a few years back. 4 very high dollar rifles stolen, recovered, held, tried to auction them til we got it stopped. then they sat on it for almost 2 years.
no movement no nothing.
I finally got in touch with my congressperson. (they have local offices all over), explained the deal, the guy said "write the office a letter, I'll handle it"
1 week later, the PD who had them was falling all over themselves to get them returned.
Get thee to your congressperson's office. Demand the return of your guns or money in lieu.
It will happen.

Yeah, start calling representative and such. File a report for it being stolen maybe......?![]()
