Maybe the thief turned it in anonymously. No self-respecting thug wants a gun 'with a douchebag on it'.

I once worked at a maximum security prison, and one morning one of the guards left his rifle in the open bed of his pick up truck in the parking lot.

U.S. Attorney's Office, not U.S. Attorney General's Office. The AG's office is a state organization, unless you are talking about the AG of the U.S., which you are not. Yes, it's nitpicking but facts are often important in journalism. :-) Also, the fact that the FBI has to go to the U.S. Attorney's Office and petition a judge for a court order to get records for ITS OWN PHONE should be a clue that the people who say the FBI can get anyone's phone records at any time really don't know what they are talking about.

"those people can smell a gun like its fresh fried Popeye's chicken." Shut the fuck up! Those people, you must mean whites because I seen whites flood a Popeye's and KFC in minutes. Fried chicken is universal bitch! Come with a better analogy next time.

it was probably a hipster that did it. They probably smelled the cellphone and the gun was a plus.

this sort of thing happens once or twice a year. there's so many law enforcement personnel here, especially downtown manhattan. I remember at a bar in tribeca I heard some agents talking shop and saw a glimpse of his hardware. they were talking loudly about qualifications ragging on one guy, probably at FLETC.
