[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 2143818, member: 27991"] I wouldn't buy it back either. I would be on the Police and DA. I would be calling the pawn shop. I would contact the local news media. I would be contacting state congressman. Change can happen. Don't think so? What about the last 5 yrs? What is coming? Speak up now or enjoy what comes. In Texas, the pawn shops were some of my regular shopping stops. In Okla, don't, won't go, not going to be part of the problem and support legalized theft. While living in Texas, we had a break-in. Thief was identified (a family 'friend?' who knew we would be gone that weekend), but could not be found by police. I filed police report. I found my property in pawn shop and called police and waited for them to arrive, identified property with original police report in hand. They confiscated item, photographed, and returned to me on the spot. Pawn shop supplied police with video of 'suspect' pawning items. A few days later, I spotted him going into a bar. Called police, waited for them to show up. Made sure he saw me as they 'cuffed and stuffed' him. Testified in court, even though his Mom asked me to let it slide. He served time and then had his wages garnished to pay me restitution. Justice served. The Detective on the case told me the Police weren't working the case more actively because they figured since he was a 'family friend', I wouldn't follow through with charges. [/QUOTE]
