A deacon walked into his church and noticed a very lumpy rug near the front door. He lifted up the rug, found a brown AK-47 rifle — and immediately called police. "I checked the weapon to make sure it was safe and no rounds were with the weapon," an officer wrote. A computer check revealed the AK-47 was NOT stolen ... but it's unclear who owns it. The weapon is worth about $500.
Flaky father: Around 8:30 a.m., a woman found a semi-automatic gun in her neighborhood about a half-mile from Bolton Elementary School. Because of the high volume of children walking to school, she picked up the gun to take it home and call police. While walking home, she spotted an Atlanta Police patrol car and gave the gun to the officer. "I retrieved the weapon from her and did one last patrol round through the neighborhood to look for suspicious activity before heading to police precinct to turn the weapon in," the officer wrote. While the officer was driving around, a 42-year-old man flagged him down. He said earlier, he was in a hurry to get his children to school that morning, so he put his pistol on the roof of his car while strapping in his kids. In his haste, he drove away, leaving his pistol on the car roof. The man said he retraced his path, looking for his gun, but it was gone — so he called 911. The officer confirmed the man's story — and asked him to describe the weapon and serial number. It all checked out, so the cop gave him back his gun. "No charges were made due to [the man's] diligence in attempting to recover his weapon and then immediately reporting it to police," the officer wrote. That's right, no charges for leaving a gun on the roof of your car, while driving your kids to school.
