    Guy steals guns from Museums for years

    Finally gets found out and spends one day in jail as punishment. (He's old and sick now)

    Thomas Gavin stole more than a dozen historic firearms from museums along the East Coast in the '60s and '70s. They sat in a barn on his estate unnoticed and largely unmissed for nearly 50 years.

          If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?
