It's safe to say just about everyone has lost something in a move, but a Pennsylvania man's loss has eyebrows raised.

Pennsylvania State Police say they are investigating what started as a gun-owner thinking he was just forgetful turning into a stolen weapon complaint.

Troopers say a 49-year-old Telford, Pennsylvania man was moving last month and thought he had misplaced his pistol and shotgun, but now thinks they were stolen.
