My thoughts are that he might have form for trying to get attention and the 'Oh look I've found a shotgun' I'll take it to the Police was a shotgun he obtained himself.

Mr Clarke said he had confronted Mr Hart because he thought he had seen him trying to steal something from his pick-up truck.
"I didn't realise he was a DVLA inspector. He might have been a prolific thief," he said.

Seems a bit too eager to do his bit. The whole story reminds me of the ex-soldier who allegedly rescued the cop in Manchester when he fell over and started getting a kicking from some rangers fans.
He got done with wasting Police time a few months later when he made up a story about jumping into a canal to rescue someone, when the Police turned up the person he 'rescued' had run off and all his clothes had miraculously dried.
