Edit, Here's a scenario..... A person is showing a relative a few of their firearms from a large collection and the relative puts a pistol in their coat when the owner goes to another room to get something and doesn't notice that it's missing until the Police ask about it when they are at the home for an unrelated reason. Yes, it's unlikely- but you would think that it's also unlikely that Law Enforcement would lose track of machine guns- but obviously it does happen.

You mean “unlikely” just the way I described the scenario in my previous post? Usually the police will get the “oh it must have been stolen” after the firearm is recovered in a search warrant.
But there have been incidents (not like you described) but where a son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter involved in criminal activity have taken a gun without the owners knowledge, but it is not the norm.
To be realistic police issue firearms are rarely stolen and if they are it makes national news. What do you think they are trying to hide?
