You always need to be careful with "free" guns. You never know where they come from or what is attached to it.
You might have given the owner of the pistol some token payment, say, a dollar, and gotten a bill of sale for it.
Not sure you want to go down this road or not, but you could keep checking back weekely and see if the PD will eventually pass you the weapon. If not, you could check and see if they have an Internal Affairs section to help "find" the pistol. As a last resort, you could use the receipt to report the weapon as stolen, and see how long it takes the person possessing it to return it.
Best of luck.
