[QUOTE="Buzzgun, post: 2144023, member: 4715"] Let me tell you a little story about pawn shops and theft. A couple of years ago, in April, my house was burglarized, we called TCSO and made a report. On August 1st, I found one of the items listed on Ebay, the seller was a local pawn shop. I went to the shop and talked to the owner privately and explained that the item was stolen. He was VERY cooperative. He told me about the daily reporting rule and told me he could not give me the name of who pawned the item, but he would certainly give it to TCSO if I would have them call or stop by. He said TCSO could enter the name in the system and look at every item this person had pawned and could possibly find other items that had been taken from me. I left the shop and went straight to TCSO and spoke with a detective. He pulled the burglary report, confirmed that the item was listed and told me he would contact the pawn shop. I called back a few weeks later and asked for a status on the item and the case. The detective informed me that he had never even gone to the shop to pick up the item!! That is the last I heard about the case. I was not happy, I gave them a great lead in the case and they didn't even take the time to go by the pawn shop. Also seemed like they tried to make it as difficult as possible to amend the report when we found additional items missing. We tried to go the TCSO and give them the list of additional items and they wouldn't take it, they said we had to call the deputy and have him come back out to add the items to the list. The total loss on the burglary of my house was $22,000.......wonder how many other places the same people ripped off while the sheriff's office had info that could have prevented it?? [/QUOTE]
