Once in a great while reason does prevail. Several years ago, I walked in the door of the indoor range where I shoot to find a fairly large (as in "huge") gun safe sitting on the stair landing right inside the door. I asked the owner if he had just bought out an estate or something. Turned out a customer had had a restraining order placed against him that prevented him from having access to his firearms. The customer lived in the same municipality that the range is located in, and the local PD uses that range for training so they knew the owner. They agreed to allow the entire safe to be stored at the range rather than move all the guns into the police evidence room.
In reality, the PD was probably very happy NOT to have to accept responsibility for storing a large number of probably expensive firearms.
About eight months later I went to the range one day and the safe was gone.
