http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/21/elvis. ... index.html I'm guessing that it wasn't some gang banger who wanted to get hold of a Nine real quick like. Heck, the king might have returned to claim his property
Follow-up Apparently the thief ditched the gun in a port-a-potty at Graceland, or accidently dropped it in there when trying to better conceal it, because it was found in the muck of the porta-potty by a worker later. The worker took it home, intending to keep it (he thought it was just another semi-auto pistol, nothing special), when he heard the news about the theft. So he returned it. I'm proud of the man. I'd like to shake his hand! (Well, considering what he does for a living and where he recovered the gun from... MAYBE NOT!)
