Legal Question in Business Law in Kansas

I own a pawnshop in Kansas. Two years ago we pawned a gun and soon found out it was reported stolen. The girl who pawned it was the girlfriend of the man who reported it stolen, since then they both skipped town. The sheriffs dept. says they cant give it back to us they are going to have to sell it at their auction. Even though we paid for it once. Do I have any legal right to the weapon?

Any attorney will say the only person who has a legal right to stolen property is the true owner of the property. Consult with an attorney in your area for specifics.
