As I understand it, the law generally protects innocent buyers; I'm not sure if there's a specific statue relating to pawn shops. What I remember for sure was being PO'd that I'd have to buy back my stuff from a pawn shop. (My stuff got stolen over 20 years ago from my parents' home, so I wasn't directly involved in a lot of it--plus, it had no sentimental value, so I just took the insurance payout. My mom and dad weren't in the same boat; a lot of the stuff they lost did have sentimental value, and my dad was doubleplusunhappy when he had to buy back their stuff. And I still hate thieves, the useless load of bastards.)I don't know the answer to this but I do know that a "special" set of laws or enforcement that apply only to Pawn shops is unfair.
Should <they>, as an innocent buyer, be out both the item and <their> hard-earned money?
