Gentlemen and Ladies, I need your help.
My Mom and Dad discovered four guns stashed under the bed in my old room. No idea how they got there. And they have about an acre and a half, with two additional buildings, so they officially live in a "remote compound." Plus, they're religious and vote third-party.
Naturally, I called CNN and local PD on those whack-jobs.
Just kidding on the last part. We went over to see my folks, tonight, and the first thing Dad says to me is something about "You left your guns under the bed." Now, I'm NOT the kind of person who has so many guns that he forgets about a few extras he left someplace.* So I adamantly denied having left any. This got my Dad all flustered and he kept insisting they were mine. I can't blame him. Where else would they come from? So, being a bit confused at this point myself, I kept demanding to see the weapons, and he kept going on about how they had to be mine.
Finally, we went in to see what he was talking about. They were under my bed, with an old foam mattress laying on top of them. One Marlin Mod. 60W, .22 LR, with gold-colored trigger. In good shape. One rusty Marlin "Glenfield"? Mod. 60, also .22LR. One Marlin 336 .30-30, the kind of gun my dad has always wanted. Also in pretty good shape, with pistol grip, no checkering. One nice, glossy Mossberg 500AT with C-Lect choke. Pretty nice. Never seen them before in my life, nor owned any Marlins or Mossbergs.
At first we thought they must have belonged to my sister's ex. But after we ruled him out, Dad seems to remember somebody asking him if they could leave their guns with him. But he doesn't seem to recall who.
Any idea how we could find the owner? I'm hoping he's never found. Actually, I'm wishing I had just said, "Oh, I've been looking for those. Thanks." Dad needs some guns, and I could always use more.
*And I hate all of you who are.
