Yeah, that's not reasonable for a PD to do. It shouldn't take years to get a firearm back, once the case disposition is final.I understand needing it for a trial, and it doesn't take YEARS to get ballistic evidence for it.
But trials aside, whenever a firearm goes into the system in Indianapolis for ANY reason, EVEN when they have no need for it anymore, it STILL can take years to get it back if ever.
THAT'S WHAT I MEAN BY THEFT.
