Bounty

I forgot to mention something BIG in the previous post. George dug up a gun an a helluva lot of ammunition. It was buried under the concrete floor of the shed he ripped up, which makes me think it was used for some kind of killing spree. This is the video he took of his discovery. I particularly enjoyed the soundtrack which I think was just whatever was on the radio at the time.

Anyway, we put the gun in a box and dragged it with us everywhere we went between Thursday and Sunday night, when we finally made it over to Balmain Police Station and handed it in. It was very dramatic walking into the police station with a big box and announcing "We've got a gun" but once the cop eyeballed it he wasn't too worried. We were kind of hoping they would decide to come and excavate the back yard to look for more evidence of crime, thus saving us the hassle of doing it ourselves*.

Sadly this was not to be, but the cop did say that he would do some kind of criminal record search for previous occupants of our address, and then they're probably melt the gun down into some kind of scrap metal.

*By ourselves I obviously mean George.
