Gun stolen from Houston police turns up after 8 years in Corpus Christi traffic stop

No details on how the gun was stolen in the first place.

When police were in the area, they noticed a white Chrysler 300 that failed to signal a turn, leading officers to conduct a traffic stop, officials said.

See what happens when you don't use your turn signals?

I can just hear the driver now " not my gun man" "I don't know how it got in my car" " somebody else must have left it there"

They're like dustbunnies and French fries, they just gather under the seat if you don't clean out the car once in awhile.

Back in the mid to late '70s I was in my First Sergeant's office when a phone call came in. It seemed that one of the drug dogs alerted on stems and seeds in another squadron member's car as he came through the gate.

At the end of the phone call, he explained to me that the same thing had happened to this guy a couple of months before. The guy had just bought the car and claimed that stuff must've been left by the previous owner (a civilian). He had gone to bat for the guy and arranged for the cops to let the guy to clean the car & have the dog go through it as many times as necessary until they no longer alerted.

In a way, I felt sorry for that guy. That First Shirt was actually a really cool guy, willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. However, if you got caught lying to him, life as you know it came to an end.

I never heard what happened to him, but I know he at least got the boot.

Maybe he bought the car from an HPD officer 9 years earlier?
