Assuming the information I have been given is true (and I sincerely believe it is), the disappearance of these guns was much more than a matter of loss or theft/burglary; this instance involved a conspiracy to defraud the insurance company by filing a false claim. And as this incidence took place almost 30 years ago, the parties originally involved may no longer be living? And if they are not, the party/parties who consigned the guns for auction may have purchased them convinced they were legitimate; and if so, I feel badly for them. On the other hand, if the parties originally involved in this scam placed these guns at auction believing that events surrounding their alleged disappearance had been forgotten thru the passage time; and now find themselves under investigation as a result of the confiscation of these guns, for those individuals I have no sympathy.
