When he was 18, he was moving out of his parent's house. He had his AK in his car when he stopped by a friend's house for a few hours. It was stolen.
Our local Sheriff's Office contacted him yesterday and told him they had received his gun. He went to pick it up this morning. Apparently the guy who stole it dumped it in the woods not far from there. Another person happened along and found it. It had been sold twice and was on its way to a gun show in Ocala (about an hour to an hour and a half south) when somebody ran the serial numbers (there are registries where you can search these numbers). They found it was registered as stolen and contacted the police who returned it to him.
It was the first firearm he ever bought and he is happy to have it back. He said there was a little surface rust on it but he cleaned it up and had happened to order new AK furniture that is now going on this one.
Very nice that this story turned out this way and it reminded me I need to keep a good storage of the Serial number of my CZ
