ok you guys will never believe this one.

story goes 20yrs ago i was 18 and had some lawyer bills i had to pay i did not have a job at that time so I had to take my luger that my dad gave me to the pawn shop and pawn it. I got $250 for it and 3 weeks later I went back to get it out of pawn to my surprise the guy said he never gave me money for the luger and the ticket I had was not his even after I got the police involved it was determined that I lied and was trying to get something for free from the pawn shop so I lost my gun. fast forward to last yr. I never did tell my dad what happened to the luger he just assumed I still had it. well 2 weeks before I lost my dad to cancer I told him the story and he forgave me. the day before he died he gave me a note and told me not to read it until he was gone we lost him the next day and I looked at the note it was his bucket list of guns to me. the first gun he wrote 1. your luger...haha
fast fwd to this week ever since I lost mine I always am on the look out for lugers I replied to the gun above and talked to the guy through about 10 emails I meet up with him today and he was a C&R guy so he asked for my DL to record in his log I gave it to him and he took a double look and then asked my if that was really my name and I said yes then he showed me when and where he bought the gun it was 1/5/92 from the pawn shop I lost mine then he pulled a piece of paper out of the holster... see when I pawned mine I wanted to make sure It didn't get switched so I put my name and phone number on a piece of paper and placed it under the grip. Well the piece of paper he pulled out had my name on it my gun found me after 20yrs I still can't believe this happened all I know is my dad is looking down at me right now laughing
