What would it look like if you had your gun stolen and pc plod came round for details and you couldn’t even give them a serial number ! not very professional ! So they wouldn’t have anything to begin to trace it ! Or even prove you had it for insurance purposes . Go on just jot the numbers down you know it makes sense ��
you do know that some airguns don't have serial numbers ? so how would logging the details help if it was stolen?

i have logged my mountain bike serial number for insurance purposes but i did not log where it came from and i never logged the details of who i sold any to in the past .once is sold its not my problem .

yes i have the serial numbers of all my guns but i did not log their serial numbers as i bought them from people i know



when i worked in the mountain bike shop we took the names of people that traded bikes in . some came up as stolen and the addresses we were given were real but the people did not live there .

would you ask for proof of address from the guy you buy your rifle off in tescos car park and they had no car and walked there ?

if you think its fine then do so . but i bet not all thieves selling items give their real details.

you just have to look at the lengths the graham brothers have went to scam people .fake addresses ,fake names and so on.


just remember , not all people tell the truth
