PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A 90-year-old Oregon man has reclaimed a handgun that was stolen from him 40 years ago.
The Oregon State Police says eight rifles, two shotguns and a Remington handgun were stolen from the Clackamas County home of Warren Schafer in October 1970. State troopers took the initial report, but never made an arrest.
A Los Angeles Police Department gang unit alerted Oregon authorities last month that it had recovered the handgun. Schafer got it back Monday in Portland.
The retired dentist noted that one of the stolen rifles was recovered in Las Vegas about a decade ago.
