1964 Stolen Gun From P.G. Turns Up In San Jose

Would the landlord at 17 Mile Drive Village steal a gun?

A Smith & Wesson .38-caliber Chief’s Special discovered in the SUV of a convicted felon arrested in San Jose last month for a suspected DUI crash had been stolen from a Pacific Grove man almost a half-century ago, according to police.

“He purchased the handgun in Southern California in 1963 after he had just gotten out of the Marine Corps, and he was living in Pacific Grove, renting a house near the old trailer park on 17 Mile Drive, in 1964,” he said. The gun was stolen, and he suspected the landlord.
