Florida Deputy's Duty Sidearm Found, Sold By Criminals Online

From The Truth About Guns, "Florida Deputy’s Sig P320 Sold For $40 On Cash App After Being Found In Restroom." Not only was it found by a member of the public, but it was found by a convicted felon out on probation. The article relates:

    ... Stopping to answer nature’s call at around 5:30 p.m. on a Thursday, the Florida cop shed layers of his gear, including a bulletproof vest and gun belt, before taking the proverbial throne.

    An affidavit reports that the gun slipped unnoticed from his holster at some point during the deed, and it was only after departing to a call that the deputy discovered his firearm was missing, prompting him to rush back to the store as if to handle unfinished business.

I have a hard time believing that it fell out of the deputy's holster because of the various retention features on police duty holsters.
