That is, indeed, a strong possibility. Col.- hope that if there is collusion between dishonest UPS employees regarding their planned heist of your fine rifle, and their plans to possibly unload it and convert it into a cash situation. I'd suggest watching the small time gun shows and estate auctions in the general area where it "disappeared"..Most crooks are both stupid and greedy, that could lead to their downfall. I surely hope that you recover that rifle, and that the bad guy(s) ending up in prison for a long, long time. RWTF
