Siruis's wand appears at roughly the same time that Sirius's home
appears. I speculate that when Sirius went to prison, his personal
belongings were returned to his family. When Sirius went back to his
house, he found his wand.

A few weak points to this theory, but I still think it is workable.
One question might be, why would his parents keep his wand if they
hated him? Could be they just threw everything into a draw or a trunk
and forgot about it; simple didn't want to deal with it.

I could also be that Sirius had more than one wands. There are already
hints in the book that people do have more than one wand in their
lifetime. Example, Ron used Charlie's old wand.

Just a thought.
