No, what I mean is the PD typically marks the evidence (being the gun) with the case and evidence number. Friend of mine had his gun stolen and used in a A.R. and they ground the side and etched it.

Ooooh Nooo, leave her as made! I carried mine and had well over 5000 round through it in 15+ years with no problems other than a broken trigger spring early on that Glock fixed FOC (a problem they were aware of and had fixed), and later a slide stop spring I tweaked by running a rag up the mag well then pulling on - I paid ~$20 to have that replaced locally. Othern' that, they're good to go as is!
By the by - I've run four matches with my new one so far, coming in one of the top three positions in the first three matches w/between 10 and 16 shooters - 9th of 27 for score last time, but 2nd for time. With another match here in a few hours, I'll try and slow it back down a notch. Good, solid guns right out of the box...

That's a crazy story. Glad she returned home safe.
No where in my post did I state they were stolen from my friend.
Here is a clearer breakdown....
I was really good friends with the family and they gave me his gun collection after he died. We used to go shooting most every weekend and they figured he would of wanted me to have them. When I picked up the guns I saw the Glocks were missing. Since they were still registered to myself, I informed the police that they were not in my friends possession and possibly lost....but not stolen. If he did sell them I wanted to make sure the police had record that I didn't have them any more to be on the safe side.
As for the 15 round clip.....The gun was made when the clip was legal, and since I was the original owner of the 15 round clip it is grandfathered and I can legally own it. I have many AR15, AK, Glock and others clips that are linked to firearms I have owned or own.
BTW, My brother in law is a Federal Agent and he has verified that most of what I have is legal
its not a clip its a magazine.
LOL really? i call it the bullet holder? no just kidding but that is an amazing story, i would frame the gun with a picture of my friend and find it a nice spot in the living room, it sure has some history

Is it a clip or a magazine?
I have been shooting firearms since the mid 1970's, and clips and magazines have always been an interchangeable description. Language changes with time....unless someone is a word ****

I have to admit, I cringed every time I saw clip instead of magazine. 
Congrats on getting your pistol back. I used to dislike the Glocks, until I was issued one for my previous job. Now I'm the proud owner of a 26, and I'm very tempted to trade off my P99 toward a 19.

My last word on the use of "clip"
From Merriam Webster
clip
noun
1: any of various devices that grip, clasp, or hook
2: a device to hold cartridges for charging the magazines of some rifles; also : a magazine from which ammunition is fed into the chamber of a firearm

From NRA-ILA firearms glossary:
CLIP
A device for holding a group of cartridges. Semantic wars have been fought over the word, with some insisting it is not a synonym for "detachable magazine." For 80 years, however, it has been so used by manufacturers and the military. There is no argument that it can also mean a separate device for holding and transferring a group of cartridges to a fixed or detachable magazine or as a device inserted with cartridges into the mechanism of a firearm becoming, in effect, part of that mechanism.
This is one of those where it might not be the most correct word for it, but it is understood to be that and even appears as part of the definition commonly accepted. There are other ones though that are completely incorrect, for instance I have a coworker that anytime somebody asks to use a "podium" he corrects them saying it's actually a "lectern". He's absolutely correct. It doesn't change the fact that 90% of people don't know that and in all likely couldn't care less, so every time he corrects somebody, he just sounds like an ass.
Congrats on getting the 19 back, always cool to hear stories about the journeys theyve been on.

I guess i am missing something here, so bear with me. If you sold the handgun/s, then they would HAVE to be registered under the new owner, immediately, by law, right, ? I just don't understand. Even back in the 70's, here in NY---NOT NYC, when a handgun was sold, it had to be registered under the new owner & the new owner HAD to have valid a pistol permit, or you could not sell it to them & they could not be in possesion of it. If that did happen, then both the seller & the buyer had committed a felony. I thought CA laws were even more strict than ours ????

Prior to 2000 you could sell a handgun to an individual that was over 21 and it was their responsibility to register it in their name. After 2000 a person would have to do the sale through an FFL dealer and the new owner would have to fill out the same paperwork same as if they were purchasing a new firearm. Gun laws in CA were pretty relaxed prior to the 1990's.

"High Capacity" Magazines are 100% legal to possess in California. It is illegal to buy, sell, transfer, offer, trade, import, lend, give, etc... a normal capacity magazine within CA. There is no law that says you cannot own one.
