You have every right to legitimately try to find a stolen firearm, regardless of its value. I know that the knowledge that something I owned was out on the street would bother me, even if I protected myself with a stolen goods report.

I had a slotted German occupation Browning HP stolen out of the gun shop it was consigned to! They realized it when I asked why it was no longer on display and they could not find a sales record. I gave them an hour to find it. When that time was up they asked me to be patient and give them a couple of days to ask employees who were not on duty then about the gun....NO WAY!
I called the police right then from my cell and had them do a stolen property report on the spot. The gun shop was angry, but who cares? The gun never did turn up.

A police report of the incident which would clinch your case would be ideal. I would contact the DC police and see if you can get copies of the records.
