He was stupid enough to wear the damn thing out in

of the IQ standards for that force.

Well, he's a detective, so he had it under his jacket. But
his jacket was open. And, he is a detective, so he's a bit
smarter than the average cop. I'd guess an IQ of about
85.

but I've lived here a long
time and know some people. I made a phone call, and the next day I got
a call from the detective telling me that the Browning had mysteriously
turned up.

Heh. It's nice to have friends.

Yes. In this case it was the Sheriff's father.
