    As a teenager I was out duck shooting with a mate, his Dad and Uncle. Driving back to town after about 7ks we went around a sharper bend in the road to hear a scraping noise on the roof of the old cortina. Right before seeing mates uncles shotgun fly onto the road and smash to bits. He was a very sad man that evening.

    I guess he wouldn't have wanted it known 'all over town' at the time, so not surprised you may never have heard about it.

    I know a bloke who spent the day hunting ducks around the Duntroon ,Tokarahi Earthquake road area,.
    At the end of the day he piled the dog and ducks and decoys under the black Tonneau cover and into the ute,[leaving breathing room of course, for the woke], put the ammo in the back seat, himself and other gear in the front and drove not slowly home
    He pulled up in Oamaru 30-40 0dd minutes later at a work mates place to give him a brace of ducks , when he got out he quietly took the black shotgun off the cover and placed it into the backseat of the ute and went about his business.

    A mate of mine's father sold his aerial topdressing business many years ago and decided to treat himself to a new Purdey sxs shotgun, flew to the UK for the fitting, paid the deposit and waited 2 years for it to be built. Upon receipt he took it out for a wander round some North Canterbury hills for a blooding. Back at the car he laid it on the roof to change out of his boots. An hour later he was home and couldn't find his gun, so another hour later he found it lying on the side of a shingle road. It went straight back to Purdey for refinishing. He never did that again! That would have been 35 years ago now. The gun is still in the family.

    A hunting party heading out of Thompson's Track were met by their pick up vehicle a couple of kms up the track, one rifle was put to one side while they loaded their gear, of course they drove off and left it behind...a person I know picked it up and dropped off at local police station, the rifle 'user' when they came looking for it was told by me where it was, off to the police station he goes but oops, no license so had to give 'owners' name, double oops "why did you give your rifle to an unlicensed person"...we were told by police that he lost both his license and rifle.
