Probably the one and only crime seine where there will be no need for the police to test for fingerprints and DNA.

Still is. If thats a real Sig its a premium weapon. All that sand and dirt will wash right out. A little oil, a fresh clip, copper jacketed ammo and away you go.

Maybe August last year the police confiscated a bunch of guns from some Chinese baddies. Iirc they were all Sigs with their boxes, but there was one more box than gun. Could be it.

It was reported here but I can't find it. Possibly related to a kidnapping, I can't remember

I'm not so sure about that, it could have been in that salty sludge for months.

Yeah true that. It would have to be looked at before firing, for sure. But its well over a thousand dollar weapon and worth putting the effort and a few bucks into it. I'd buy it as is if the price were right but as mentioned it might be formerly a baddies and the cops will have to keep it.
