The ``topological'' scattering of a quantized test particle in the locally flat conical geometry of a localized source in \(2+1\)-dimensional gravity is analyzed. Wave functions and scattering amplitudes are obtained and compared with those recently found in a different approach by 't Hooft. The propagator [heat kernel] is also determined.
