FrogAssassin 6 Posted March 14, 2014 My wife's cousins house was broken into and a bunch of jewelry pawned at 2 local shops nearby. They caught the thief and got some of jewelry and items back. Get this, They have Id'd the stuff that they pawned, it is at the pawn shop, and SHE HAS TO PAY THE PAWN TO GET IT BACK. Evidently there was a law passed that the cops just cant take it back into evidence and return it to the owner. She has to pay for it. She isnt sure yet if she has to pay the interest on it. How up is that. Paying for lawyer Losing money having to go to court to say, Yes thats my stuff, Then having to pay for your own back that was stolen. All the while this piece of has a free attorney, food stamp ranger who doesnt have to pay for . Man this country is getting more focked up by the minute.

BiPolarBear 476 Posted March 14, 2014 I heard a story like this about a guy who had his musical instruments stolen and had to buy them back from the pawn shop. Just doesn't make sense to me. What happened to slapping the pawn shop with a receiving stolen property charge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,560 Posted March 14, 2014 The law is unbelievably stupid. How did prove it's her stuff? Receipts? photos? descriptions to police? How did the cops catch the crook? Did the pawn shop help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
