Alright. Who's gonna own up to being that absent minded? Looks like a pretty well tricked out piece to me. Maybe they were on the way to the SHOT show. Did they have any other luggage in the trunk? Also, despite the posters words, this looks like the trunk not the back seat of said rental. Or maybe in that area it's just part of the rental package. How come this stuff never happens to me?

I never saw anything! The check in guys at the car rental place must have taken it. I didn’t see a damned thing!

The sight is an EOTECH® EXPS2-2 w/G33 MAGNIFIER. About $900 new.

I hope they didnt find the hi-cap magazines that go with it. They are illegal in some places.

Shouldn’t be to hard to find the owner and return his property.

I would seek to get the property back to the individual who last rented the car. My communication with the rental agency would be:

“I may — or may not — have found something neat that the last renter left in the car. Please give them my phone number.”

If the agency asked me what it was, I would decline to identify it, but I would hint it was only a minor little personal trinket. “”Nothing too special. Just something personal they might like to have back.”

Then when the person called, I would ask him to identify the item. Then I would return it to him or her. This is a very expensive piece of machinery — I would sure like it back if I lost one.

Very, very doubtful: about as likely as finding a dead body in the back seat. Too bad it’s not a bazooka, though.

You must send it to me so that I can track down the rightful owners.

There is no freaking way someone is going to leave that AR in car with knowing it’s missing. This has to be a joke.

Generally speaking, private individuals who are true firearms enthusiasts spending bid bucks on a rig like that, are seldom the ones who lose track of them. You can bet that rig was paid for and supplied by you and me. Somewhere out there a fed is, ahem, “passing” bricks right now, wondering how she’s going to explain it all away. Seen it happen. More than once.

It doesn’t appear to be an air soft either.

The person who left the gun isn’t repsonsible enough to keep it in my opinion.

You are ALWAYS supposed to be aware of the location of your weapon.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet rig, man!!!

Tell ya what I’d do.

I’d take it for a quick test drive at the range. Then clean it really well. Then call the rental car company to find out the owner’s contact info. Then take it to them. (I think I used, “then,” way too many times. LOL!)

You may even get a small reward for the return of said item.

“My friend and her mom just rented a car at the Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood airport”

I’ll alert the media.
