Thread: Thieves strike again

I have a policeman friend who says a lot of pawn shop owners are notoriously crooked. He said they know of one who may pay $10, but tells the owner he paid $100. That's why I put that in my previous post. He also said that pawn shop owners are supposed to list serial numbers of items they buy so if it is stolen, it'll pop up on a country-wide stolen item list that police put out. He said some pawn shop owners purposely change serial numbers around so they won't pop up...........like if it's 12345.......they'll put in 12435.

So basically, they're victimizing the victim of the theft again by not helping. Anything for a $.

That's a shame. They are as bad as the thieves!
