About Pawn Shops : Common Mistakes in Pawn Shops

[sharksauto]

Should be called Biggest crooks pawn shop

[karpovonfire]

That is the biggest lie ever!!!

[edcjunkie]

And the reason they don't have to pay you squat is because a thief has no legal basis in the transfer of ownership that occurs in the transaction in which you purchased the stolen item. IE he can't give you the right to ownership when he stole it. Meaning, it's still the OWNER's item and you are not entitled to any money, because the OWNER did not agree to any transfer of ownership in that transaction. Jeez brother, learn the law.

[edcjunkie]

A victim of robbery is not required to pay you squat. Learn the law before you claim to be an expert. If an item is stolen, it is taken into evidence by the police and later returned to the owner.

[picturedean]

My camera was stolen and the police found it at a pawn shop. I had to pay the pawn ticket to get it back. You could beat it in court but the cop told me it was best to pay or the pawn shops will stop reporting stolen items.

[zintosion]

I fought the law and the law won.

[1234eugeneallison]

why the hell do a person hav to pay to get there stuff if it was stolen in thre first place

[batlad]

I get why he wants you to do it this way, but if one of those item reports is sent in and it shows up in a stolen item database, a cop will show up and take it. Once it's processed as evidence, it gets returned to the proper owner. A victim DOES NOT have to pay a single cent to buy back his stuff.

The store does not get reimbursed. Either the store takes the hit, or it comes out of the clerk's paycheck -- their fault for not asking for a paper trail.

[wolfewispr]

i used to hang out in pawn shops to find good deals,most things arent stolen shops but stolen items do go through the pawn shops. if it's an item that the pawn shop owner thinks he can buy low because it's stolen and quickly and make a good profit, they definately will buy it even if they suspect it's stolen.

[wojtuniakfrog]

This guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

[YaBoyBnO]

there are so many stupid videos on youtube i hate it this would be on why take up you tube space

[Stols001]

"we dont like a theif as much as anyone else".....right cuz when u offer them half the price of what its worth and they agree to it cuz they got that shit for free you dont love it

[twst1]

expert village: more like village idiots

[ZombyGenocide1]

@twst1 lmao hahahha

[Glyvxx]

Fucking hot latino.

[ZombyGenocide1]

@Glyvxx Can i show you a good time?

[Redpaw2011]

In Oregon, the police will come, take the item, the pawn shop loses the item, and then the pawn shop files an insurance claim through the state for reimbursement and theft recovery.

All items must have a serial number, and every item purchased is well documented and reported daily.

[nolanjuice84]

FUCK THAT IF I FOUND MY SHIT IN A PAWN SHOP I WOULD JUST TAKE IT BACK..I WOULDNT PAY UM SHIT WHATS ALREADY MINE

[paulspydar]

Did he just say if you find your stolen item in a Pawn Shop you have to pay what they have spent to buy it to get it back! In the UK if you buy something that's stolen you lose it,you don't get your money back,You can not sell something you do not own & you can not own a stolen item,Even if you paid for it.You can though pay the insurance Co` an agreed sum to buy back a recovered item they have paid out on as they are the legal owners,either way you lose whatever you first paid for a stolen item

[QUADZ1LLA]

what a stupid fag!

[LordOfKorriban]

"If such items are located they, in most cases, are returned to victim with or without compensation to pawnbroker depending on local laws. The person who sold or pawned such items is investigated by local law enforcement." Depends where you live i suppose.

[0neofthem]

pawn shops deal exclusively in stolen merchandise

[espnchris]

fag

[BalboaPawnShop]

Ofcourse you gotta pay the pawn shop back for recovering your lost item, you should be happy and hoping it goes to a pawn shop, not only should you pay back the cost you should be rewarding them for finding your item!!!!

image if your item got sold on the streets you would never see it again

thats why local police station will always back up pawn shops we are like a filter for them, if you want your money back you have to prosecute the person who turned it in and the pawn shop has their info!!

[gunsnflamethrowers]

@BalboaPawnShop i get what you are on about, but say if something valuable was stolen from your house,could have been an ancestor's and it's sold to a pawn shop, you go through the police and the item is found in the pawn shop, would you honestly think it would be reasonable for that person to pay the pawn shop for their item back just because the pawn shop did not do their research, i know it's unlikely but from what i gather you think that person should pay the shop for carelessly buying it?

[pimpc1125]

I'm not 100% on the legality, but there is no way in hell, i would pay them what they have in an item that was stolen from me. It seems it's the pawn shops prerogative to get that fee back from the thief that sold it to them.

[knaxon]

wait he said "you gotta pay us what we have in it." I thought by law they were required to give it back to the person because it was a stolen item? anyone wanna respond to this?

[RetroPCDOS]

@knaxon

If the item in the pawn shop matches the serial number on your police report, the pawn shop must contact the authorities, and provide them with a copy of the identification of the person who pawned the item. Some states require that the pawn shop give you your item back, unfortunately in most states, the pawn shop will only have to offer the item to you for the same price the item was pawned for. After that you will have to seek restitution for reimbursement through the court system.

[FamilyOfMan1975]

Someone needs to tell this guy it's against the law to accept money for stolen merchandise.

[edcjunkie]

Actually, no stupid. You're in possession of stolen property. You have to give me my shit and YOU are out the money. I don't have to pay you anything. Learn the law stupid.

[baseballcatcher08]

what he says it true, but it still happens, my old band director went to a performance and one of her students got her tuba stolen and it was in the pawn shop, so some places sell stollen items

[snarlingrabiddog5150]

He really needs to be up on the laws. Anything stolen and purchased by a Pawn Shop is still the property of the original owner who had it stolen from them. If they contact the Police, tell them its in a pawn shop, have proof of ownership, the POLICE will go into the pawn shop and TAKE THE STOLEN MERCHANDISE and not give the pawn shop a cent. NEVER pay a pawn shop for something stolen that you have proof of ownership. Simply contact the police. This guy is an idiot making that statement.

[Bubbasizer]

better yet how about the pawn shops do their homework and don't buy any stolen shit, this guy seems like a dumbass.

[gougerkiks]

so if you get rob and the guy sells it to a pawn shop you would have to pay them to get your stolen items back?

Thats fucked up

[frenchfriedfrenchmen]

@gougerkiks or you could call the police,they have to take any stolen property and give it back to the owner if they have paperwork

[2066241]

The guy is wrong If the Police find something stolen they will take it back the person dont have to pay anything.

[jinn13]

This is typical rapid sales talk you find in these places that makes no sense and is meant to confuse. It's almost like a timeshare pitch, by the time they are finished your paying them to get out the door.

[len0808]

the pawn shop is out money if they buy stolen goods. they cannot recover any money they put into it. this guy is dead wrong.

[studmuffin234able]

at 1:40 did that guy really say that if a pawn shop buy a stolen product and someone goes in the next day and can prove its theres that they have to pay the pawn shop what they payed into it.

[trab8989]

@studmuffin234able No he didnt say that... You added the next day. Maybe watch it one more time...

[studmuffin234able]

@trab8989 i didn't add anything were were my quotations? i was simply saying that its bull shit that if someone can prove that a pawn shop bought stolen items then the victim should not have to pay what the pawn shop payed into it. its there fault for buying stolen shit and should have to give it back without charging the victim

[trab8989]

@studmuffin234able O ok i understand, if u didnt put it in quotes you never said it. So really neither of us are talking right now since we dont have quotes around our words. Makes sense.

Back to the video, the only way your stuff would be out for sale is if it had sat in the shop on pawn for 30 days (then there is usually a 10 day grace period on top of that). So no it would be impossible to come in the next day after your stuff was stolen and find it out for sale.

[Scooterpugh]

@studmuffin234able The victim can, does, will get his merchandise back. Although the victim cannot walk right into the shop and say, 'hey, that's mine; it was stolen. I want it.' There are processes to go thru. Believe it or not--- The pawnbroker is now a victim too! It's a risk and part of the business. Everything has a cost. If NOT for many pawnshops, MOST people will never see their stuff again! Pawnbrokers ARE NOT the crooks here. There are some dishonest people regardless!

[paulflan84]

If a stolen item is purchased by a pawn shop here in the UK it is seized by the police and as far as I know the person from whom it was stolen pays nothing. We recover our losses from the thief through the courts. Second video of this guy that is just wrong about everything. Although he is correct in that we uphold the 'Hold for 30 days' rule with great stringency.

[onethatactuallyexist]

This dude is a clown, all he is doing is trying to plug his own pawn shop.

[Howardw007]

This guy is FULL OF SHIT.........you don't have to pay them shit to reclaim YOUR stolen items from them, there is no good title to stolen property.

[BiGorilla420]

fa q

[djcountry1985]

most stolen stuff is in the hands of a crack head or crack dealer

[1618jean]

@buyerofsorts maybe you should get your facts straight because the police CAN NOT just take an item stolen or not. The fastest way to get an item back is to reimburse the pawn broker. If not then the person has to wait for the case to go to court and get a judgment stating that the pawnbroker isn't going to get paid but that can take years.

[VeritasTruthEmet]

so has he been jailed yet for posession of stolen property or was the charge of fraudulent misrepresentation of fact sufficient?

[RTWSonataRTW]

Did he just say that if your item is stolen and found in a pawn shop that you have to pay what they put into it?

What a dumbass.

[LiquidZ2k]

I think he could have worded it better, but I think he was trying to make people file a claim with the police, otherwise they have to assume you are someone trying to get it for free. But yeah the way he said it is how you have it.

[buyerofsorts]

Ha! You're so right man. He thinks hes the expert on pawn shops because he owns one or works in one or whatever but hes DEAD wrong about getting paid for stolen items BEFORE the rightful owner gets it back! So I agree. What a dumbass...

[chadreedfan221]

@RTWSonataRTW id be pissed if i had like a ford gt that i saved for like 8 years and then i had to pay 125k to get it back.most shops around here dont have that much tho

[xalbokingx]

@RTWSonataRTW yes he did so basically if a pawn shop accidently buys a stolen good you think they will give it back to the original owner without paying? Who pays the pawn shop for the stolen item they bought? The police? Yea Right.

[terryfink]

@xalbokingx a little thing called insurance

[studmuffin234able]

@xalbokingx why shouldn't they?? They bought a stolen item. thats just part of the business, pawn shops buy stolen items every day and you think that a victim who has his property stolen from him should have to pay a merchant to get his shit back. You obviously have never had anything stolen from you in your life...

[johnsonfromwisconsin]

@RTWSonataRTW Yes, this guy is incorrect. If you find your stolen item in a Pawn shop, the Shop has no rights to it since it was not sold to them legitimately and they technically never owned it. Some states do allow them to demand some reimbursement for restoration costs of certain items, if any. If they unwittingly buy or accept for pawn a stolen item, they lose the item, and there only recourse for reimbursement is insurance or the culprit.

[12GaugeLosAngeles]

@RTWSonataRTW He did. Good ear...

[SeedleSsDank42]

thats funny cause i found half my house in a pawn shop a couple days after it was robbed.. Don't move to Phoenix Arizona

[buyerofsorts]

Really? What did you do about that?

[CantStopWontStop818]

@buyerofsorts I'm going to rob you

[SeedleSsDank42]

couldn't do shit i called the cops they came and "LOOKED"??,, and i almost tore off the head of the owner for trying to sell me back my shit luckily this was before ps3 and plazma's so the most money they got was off jewwlery

[trab8989]

@SeedleSsDank42 Should have shot u in the face for acting stupid...

[SiliconSam428]

@SeedleSsDank42 Houses don't get robbed, houses get burglarized.

[olstar18]

@SeedleSsDank42 Did you inform the police.

[TheChrxnic]

@SeedleSsDank42 that happend to my teache 2 years ago in mesa

[Samososomo]

Wait a minute. He basically says at 1:35 that if someone steals your property and sells it to a pawn shop, you have to pay the shop whatever they paid for items to get your property back. The shop was the recipiant of a stolen item and could have made a profit on it. However, if the item needs to be returned to its rightful owner, then the owner has to pay to get his item back?

This seems to leave the pawn shop free of any liability whatsoever!

[cbass5511]

Wrong. If the cops have proof that it is your item (seriel number so on) they will take it from the pawn shop and return it too you. Pawn shops are RELUCTANT to take stolen items because of the possability of losing out. These people that think pawn shops buy tons of stolen items is completey wrong and shows their ignorance in this matter.

[OldSkaterGuy]

pawnshop people suck ass!

[cbass5511]

LOL black people don't hunt like rednecks don't think.

[CollegeLoheart]

White people are inferior

[jpsnay420]

Sorry darky but history proves you are wrong!

[CollegeLoheart]

How? you red neck lol!

[Meleemaker]

@CollegeLoheart your not racists....come on dont give him crap...he hates all people equally

[CollegeLoheart]

Dude, that guy was talking shit about black people, so I had to retaliate. Sorry.

[victorvalenzuela87]

cbass5511. If you don't live in an hacienda, ranch, plantation, etc. You DON'T NEED a shotgun for home protection.

[Meleemaker]

@victorvalenzuela87 Thats what you think, but im doing to make sure I keep my future wife and kids safe. If my wife is my current GF im not stopping at anything to keep her safe, or potentially our kids.

[logic497]

it's funny how many racist people are such as evanquinn07 fuck you bitch

[taylander2010]

someon took my dads rolix wach and sold it to a paun shop. we got the rolix back but somone tok the cristals out of the rolix

[EvanQuinn07]

If you found something in a pawn shop and you could prove it was stolen from you, I wouldn't think you'd have to pay the pawn shop to get it back, I'd go to the police and have them confiscate it, if they would

[TheHarleyhillbilly]

You are correct I had a small Pawn shop in Tennessee in the late 1990's and the person got his property back and didn't have to "buy" it back the ass hole that pawned it had to give me my money back not the guy it got stolen from. What a bunch of bull shit this guy is full of shit !

[tpcrb]

Get some fine chix behind the counters and start a TV show like Pawn Stars.

[shatros]

Now to be fair, since seeing this video and since some people have come rather adamantly to the defence of pawn shops, last weekend I went to one in New Hamphsire with a friend. Just out of curiosity, I wanted to see what would happen if I took some jewelry there. I took them a pair of Tiffany & Co. gold cufflinks that I purchased at the Tiffany store in Boston.

[shatros]

How many pawn shops do I need to visit before I find an honest one? I don't know and honestly don't care. While my experience with pawn shops is admittedly limited, still 100% of that experience has been with dishonest pawn shops. And no, I did not travel all the way to New Hampshire just to prove a point to one person on Youtbube, I was out Christmas shopping with friends and we walked by one, it was spur of the moment. But it did confirm what I have been saying all along.

[shatros]

They offered me $50 (I paid $1000) and when I asked about paperwork the owner said none was needed and that he was not concerned about where I got them. He said I had an honest face.

[videowatcher765]

hahaha, pawn shop owners are the most awful fuks on earth, i mean think about it they offer you jack squat for your valuable items, mark em up 4x and sell em, oh ur ring costs a 1000 i can loan you 50, then he sells it for 200 in a week, hey if its stolen who cares it sold, bascially just a way of turning stolen merchandise into cash easily

[shatros]

I completely agree. I swore I would never go in one but my friend had pawned some things and I went in with her when she made a payment. she pawned $5000 worth of jewelry, got a $500 loan which she is paying $150 a week on for 12 weeks. basically they are all just a bunch of theives.

[TheHarleyhillbilly]

Damn thats $1800 dollars for $500 I don't know where you live but 22% a month is max they can charge in Tenn. also if she is paying $150 a week that is a declining balance loan which pawn brokers are not licensed to do in most states I would check into that. She should have went to a bank or at least a loan company like a credit union pay back on $500 would be something like $800 which is still high but it's far from $1800.

[EvanQuinn07]

I had a shotgun stolen from me years ago, I reported it, later on a cop called and said they had it at the station, the nigger that stole it pawned it in a pawn shop, I got it back, didn't cost me anything

[TheHarleyhillbilly]

Thats great news!! Always keep a list of all your serial numbers and if your stuff get stolen turn the numbers into the police they put them in NCIC and if someone pawns or sells it they get caught, and you get your stuff back.

[BonerPirate]

@EvanQuinn07 surprised the shop even bought it in the first place. I'd be suspicious if some dumb nigger came into my shop with a shotgun. I'd guess it was either A: Stolen. B: Used in a crime.

I don't see too many black folks hunting so there is no logical reason they'd have a shotgun unless for the two reasons stated above.

[EvanQuinn07]

yea, I was really surprised when the cop called, and that was months after it'd been stolen from me, of course, no nigger is going to have a nice shotgun(Rem, 870 Wingmaster), niggers don't hunt

[cbass5511]

yea your right, nobody ever buys guns for protection of their home or work....*eyes rolled*....

[BonerPirate]

A shotgun is not a gun that people buy for home protection. Let alone spend $500+ dollars on a nice one only to store it under the bed in the happenstance that somebody decides to break in. There are cheaper fire arms more suited for home/personal protection than hauling a big old shot gun around.

Thus, a slim to no chance a black person would have one unless it was stolen or used in a crime. Do you happen to know a bunch of black folk that spend their weekends hunting outdoors? *eyesroll*

[cbass5511]

Actually 1- my father kept a shotgun for home protection, it was his fathers and he gave it to him to use for that.

2- yes I know a black man and son who live near me (western new york) that hunt more than anyone else I know.

The real fact of the matter is your racist, and most likely live near Alabama.

[BonerPirate]

I live in Chicago and i'm from Rochester New York. Probably not far from where ever you are from.

Your dad didn't purchase the gun for home protection he inherited it, i'd be willing to bet if he were to go buy a gun for home protection it wouldn't be an expensive shotgun. Thus your point is invalid that some black person may have purchased it for home protection.

[cbass5511]

Or the black person inherited it as well. Or found someone or knew someone selling one cheap? My point is making inferences on someones race a very dumb thing to do. Period.

[BonerPirate]

@cbass5511 Maybe.... if you're a BUTTFUCKER.

[Meleemaker]

@BonerPirate most shotguns are not that expensive and can be purches for 400 dollars for a smaller 20 ga which will put anyone in their place

[BonerPirate]

@Meleemaker yes but we were talking about a 870 Wingmaster 12 ga. New those things run above $500.

[cbass5511]

Thats like me saying "Do you know any white people that...." It just doesn't work no matter how much you think it does.

[BonerPirate]

I also, keep a shotgun in my house, I would use it for home protection sure, but I spent a lot of money on it to go hunting. If I were not a hunter i'd have better spent my cash on a pistol. Your points are completely invalid as they pertain to EvanQuinn07's story. Call me a bigot if you want, but those two reasons are the most likely ones an inner city african american would own a shot gun. That isn't racist, its simple reasoning. Blacks are small demographic hunting, so are city people. THINK

[GuitarGare]

not EVERYWHERE is your first comment correct.

I'm in Canada. Different story.

I am looking for a channel that shows pawn shop inventory, where two guys go into a pawn shop with a camera, (because the exchange between the owner and the camera guys would be quick, funny and heated), plus the public would be able to have a look at where their stolen stuff might be.

The name of the City has to be part of the video. This will kill home thefts ahead of useless local constabularies.

[everythingeco]

Just a useful bit of info. eBay and craigslist far exceed any group of pawnshops for stolen inventory. Pawn shops are just an easy target thanks to the image Hollywood painted.

[GuitarGare]

What you say about hollywood maybe true, but in MY neighborhood, I know better.

When pawn shops started showing up here, in London, Ontario, thefts started happening more than ever before. Then insurance rates went up.

[shatros]

This is exactly what I am talking about. The agent who sold me my renter's insurance policy told me that the first place I should look is all the local pawn shops.

[shatros]

Neither the existence nor proliferation of other venues for selling stolen property deminishes the crimes that pawn shops commit. Your logic is the same as "since other people commit murder then the person who punched you in the face didn't do anything wrong" It is illogical and irelevant.

[pabloz1]

I really could give a crap weather they deal in stolen stuff or not. Our government along with banks and corporations steal billions every year.

[shatros]

Now I am going to give advice far more valuable than this video. Photograph everything of value that you own. If possible, mark everything with a secret identification code in a hidden place that thieves will not likely notice. write it all down in a journal. Get good locks, a good alarm system, good insurance, and never step foot in a pawn shop except to look for your stolen property.

[shatros]

...then I did the smart thing. I went around to all the pawn shops in my area. The third one had ALL my stuff. I contacted police and they came down. I had my photos and book of identification codes. we matched up every item stolen. This was 2 days after the break in not 30 days. The cops never mentioned to me any 30 day waiting period. But they did charge the owner with more than 100 counts of receiving stolen property.

[shatros]

The pawn shop owner was told by police that if they told them who sold the stuff to them they would reduce the charges. He said he had no record of the purchase. So now he is in prison convicted of about 30+ counts (prosecuter counted the coin collection as one item rather than list coins as individual counts). I got my stuff back. A few months ago I attended his parole hearing. They denied him parole. He is going to do at least another 3 years for a tot of 7 so far.

[shatros]

perhaps there are states that regulate pawn shops more than others. And of course not every business owner follows the law. One should NEVER assume that just because there are laws regulating pawn shops that the shop owners obey those laws. As for me, I would never do business with a pawn shop. They typically pay 1-10% of an items value and you have no absolute guaranty that things you buy are not stolen.

[shatros]

um yeah right. a few years ago my home was burlarized. They took power tools, electronics, a camera, coins, jewelry and other valuables. The police told me I was not likely every going to see any of it ever again. I was smart enough to have photographed everything and engraved an identification code into everything except the coins and jewelry. then...

[2005H2]

The police are in my pawn store once a week for three minutes to pick up pawn tickets that we've written that week. Other than that, the police cars are in the lot because they are killing time, looking at guns, buying their spouses more jewelry, etc. Rarely are they ever here to confiscate stolen merchandise. Out of every 2000 loans, I may get 1 item that turns up stolen from years ago. Often they don't prosecute and I don't worry about it... we want it to go back to the rightful owner.

[shatros]

If you are telling the truth, then you are a rare exception. My conversations with law enforcement tell me that the opposite is true. I have been informed by them that not a day goes by that someone does not sell stolen property at a pawn shop and there are not THAT many pawn shops in my area. In fact not that many years ago one town in my state got so fed up they attempted to shut them down as criminal enterprises.

[shatros]

I know that some laws were passed not long ago to regulate pawn shops in my state but they dont seem to have much teeth. The cops who responded to my call when I found my stuff in a pawn shop told me that probably half the stuff in a pawn shop are stolen but they cant do anything unless someone points out their stuff to them.

[everythingeco]

He is telling the truth. You had a bad experience with a shady business owner and now you're running around YT and shouting from mountain tops "Pawn Shops are crooks".

We see about 1.....ONE..."1" stolen item a year....ONE. Many cops hang out there as well. ATF and FBI are also in if they do gun sales.

Your experience shrouds your perception of an honest business. Pay your bill and you don't even loose anything. What is so horrible about that? Sorry you got robbed, but not pawn shops fault.

[shatros]

Pay my bill????

I found MY stolen stuff in the pawn shop! They were fencing it all! That is all the experience I need. And this is NOT just MY experience. The officer who took my report told me that in HIS experience, ALL pawn shops are dishonest and the cops have been trying to shut them all down for years. As for paying bills, What the hell does paying my bills have to do with some one breaking into my home and stealing my stuff and selling it to a pawn shop????

[everythingeco]

#1 "Pay your bill" means your pawn loan bill and you won't loose items on a hassle free loan. #2 Even the guy in this Video addresses the ignorance of many cops. Being a cop doesn't mean they know anything about pawn shops. #3A black guy cut me off this morning....does that mean they're all bad? That's your reasoning.

[everythingeco]

It's painfully obvious that you didn't secure your home enough to keep from getting robbed. When you did get robbed they never found the guy, so they got the pawn shop owner. You just need someone to direct your anger at.

And another thing, no one has been trying to shut down pawn shops. That's ridiculous. Payday and title loan shops, yes, pawn, no. You aren't as informed as you think you are, just over emotional and a tad ignorant on this topic.

[shatros]

If you mean that I did not expend millions of dollars to protect thousands of dollars worth of posessions you are correct. At the time I lived in an apartment in a secure building with ADT security and alarms on all units. I lived on the third floor and had a very expensive set of locks on my steel door. They gained entry by defeating the security system.

[shatros]

what would you have sugested I do differently? The police told me I did nothing incorrect. When I asked how to make my place more secure they sugested I relocate to a city that had high rise apartments. But none of this is really relevant since I did not invite the burglar to break into my home. You must be one of those ignorant assholes who is convinced that every victim of a crime is the person really at fault, I bet you also want to do away with police and prisons and let all criminals go

[shatros]

And NO I do not JUST need someone to direct my anger at. FYI receiving stolen goods is a felony in all 50 states. Yes you are correct that the more blame rests with the actual burglar but some blame rests with the pawn shop owner because, as the detective told me, if the pawn shop was not there in the first place, the burglar would not have had a ready place to take his loot and would have been less likely to steal my stuff.

[shatros]

When a police detective tells me that this problem has been common in my city for years and that his department has been actively trying to shut them all down for years do you think I am going to believe him or someone on youtube defending criminals? I don't know what a payday or title loan shop is, neither of those two things are listed in my state's yellow pages, do either go by another name?

in australia if a pawn shop recieves any stolen goods and they have no way to prove where it came from they can get all thier stock confescated also there a great place to buy cheap electric guitars

[ezymoneypawnshop]

in NYS dose not matter i ID every one and police take itanyway ,,, how can you tell if the item was or is stolen?

[AJHcorolla]

you cant

[stang661]

Finger prints and photos? They have a good idea much of the stuff is hot. The police here know the law on pawn shops. I see Their cars are in their parking lots 3 or 4 days a week.

[ccmurphree]

All pawn shops should take photos and the fingerprints of the persons who comes in to pawn. Fingerprints alone would discourage thieves.

[calebisaacson]

they take finger prints

[ezymoneypawnshop]

what we do in NY is copy the ID ,,,, in that case no one will come to pawn shop to brow or sell

[1800company]

It's true. I know the law and pawn shops are highly regulated. They must file police reports the items on which they loan and those which they buy. It may or may not be a place to get top dollar but if someone needs money to buy food or pay for rent it's a convenient place to get money quickly. WalMart isn't going to buy your old guitar.

[justin11201985]

All you douche bags that dont know what you are talking about let me clear it up.A pawn shop is not a place to try and get top dollar for items.Its a business that you go to get a small loan(that a bank wont do) YOUR NOT GOING TO GET what you paid for it RETAIL. ITS A PAWN (LOAN) can't you get that threw all of your thick skulls. Less then 10% of items that come threw a pawn shop are stolen and 95% of stolen items that come in are FAMILY OR EMPLOYEE related you ass whipes!

[TheHarleyhillbilly]

Thank God someone who knows what the hell he is talking about!!!!!

[IceTTom]

I bet you jack off to PawnStars - feg

[ten8goa]

Pawn shops are a rip off. They give u nothing for your stuff then sell shit at inflated prices

[virualdl]

Its a business you fucktard. If you don't want to sell your stuff off at a lower price, find your own buyer. They also act as a service for people who need cash fast, but can come up with the money to buy back their items later.

[valdobhs]

Is this law for every state in the u.s.

[1stPlaceDirector]

Hello, is that right what he says near the end, when he says the person that got their stuff ripped off has to pay the pawn shop whatever they have in it, to get it back? That should be the pawn shop's loss and a cost of doing business for them. They need to have a negative incentive to keep them from buying stolen items, otherwise if they get caught, all they have to do is break even. And that's if you catch them before your item leaves their store. Then its gone for good.

I am a musical instrument repairman....i used to do repairs for a pawn shop about 20 years ago (in massachusetts). I stopped doing work for them because about half the instruments had altered serial numbers....for example "3s" changed to "8s" and "1s" changed to "7s"

[Krkrkillr]

This wetback has been no help at all..WTF?

[a1pawnbrokers]

Well Said!!!

[Yourmomsbuttfeltgood]

Check YOUR attitude, you fuckin faggot!

[MissTKnox1]

You show your class nicely Sniper, anyway, you do NOT have to buy you &*^# back. The pawnbroker goes to court WITH you and testifies FOR the state against the thief. Then all items are returned to the rightful owner. ANYONE pawning/selling in a pawnshop signs a contract stating that the item is theirs to pawn/sell, is not rented, has no encumbances, etc.... Check out eBay's and Craigslist's policies on the subject.

[Sniperman1964]

Fuck that, Im not paying you for my shit back... You take the loss, not me!!!

[inkey2]

to sniperman: actually the pawn broker loves it if you don't "take your shit back". They just sell it for a high profit

[Sniperman1964]

No, you missed what I was talking about!!!

I mean if someone breaks into my house and steals my jewls,then go's to the local pawn shop and sales them..Im not gonna pay the pawn shop for my stuff that got stolen from me, Im gonna have the police and my lawyer get it back free of charge!!! WATCH FROM 1:20 !!!

[inkey2]

to sniper: wow.....you are right....i didn't catch that. Is that legal?

[millgiass]

Damn right! You cant extort money outta people. If they were suckered in to buying things from a theif they need to get their money back from the thief not the victim of said theft.

[IceTTom]

Uhh... FAIL

[Misanthropy83]

lol has anyone ever seen their stuff in a pawn shop?

[Jake199415]

Ya my mom did. She had a 5 carrit ring stollen from her that had her name ingraved on the back of it. She found it at the pawn shop. The owner happley gave the ring back to her, and the person who pawned it got arrested.

[redrocker49er]

Bravo for you-This ought to be sent in to the

National Pawnbrokers Association. Well put and to the point. It is true, most law enforcement don't know "pawn law" as defined by each state. Because of each state's regulations most people don't pawn stolen items here because of the "paper trail" that is required. Great Video!!

[Ganbareg]

Good advice bud.

[gizzel345]

I was alway curious about how it worked.

He admits they fence things. Unknowingly but still it "happens" great series.
