[QUOTE="SoonerStatePawn, post: 1825694, member: 11104"] It differs city to city. It is illegal to knowingly purchase stolen merchandise. When we either purchase or loan on merchandise you are signing your name and stating how long you have owned the merchandise. If you pawn something stolen it is a Felony for each item regardless of value, false declaration to a pawnbroker is a very serious offense. Pawning a stolen item will land you in more trouble than breaking into a car or house. We also report all items we take in to the Police Dept every night via email. It's all inputed into a database where if it's reported stolen, it will be found. The pawnbroker is also a victim and out the money we gave for the merchandise. In Oklahoma City, if an item is found to be stolen it is put on hold. When dealing with OCPD they never ask the victim to pay the pawnbroker. We put the item on hold, and a detective will pick it up as evidence. Most of the time, the detective will release the items to the victim when charges have been filed. Moore is the only city we've dealt with that tells the victim to pay the pawnbroker to get their stuff back. If your stuff is ever stolen, you don't have to pay the pawnbroker. Let the City press charges, you will get your merchandise back, and the pawnbroker will get restitution years down the road. Oklahoma City will normally have your merchandise back within a month.
