Too many 'unknowns' to answer. What type of firearm is it? What is the value of the firearm? During the commission of what type of crime was it stolen? Is the thief prohibitted from 'possessing' a firearm? Etc? Etc?

In what way is the weapon "ILLEGAL?" If the weapon falls under the prohibitions of the Federal Firearms Act you are looking at federal felony offense.
