Years ago I had a similar pawn shop experience. Stolen merchandise, weeks go by police found nothing. My wife and I went to pawn shops looking (we never shop in one). Sure enough there it was! Wife waits while I go get the box. Serial numbers matched perfectly!
Now...hindsite is 20-20. Today, I'd take MY merchandise out the store. It's mine, verified by serial numbers, witnessed. Let them call the cops...I'm retrieving my stuff I paid for!
Instead...dummy me...I paid pawn ticket!
Several trips to court, #@$$# never shows up. Finally investigator calls me..."I don't have to go to court, he was arrested and charged". I never got pawn money back, and judge made guy pay me restitution.
$1,200 merchandise, restitution was set at $10 a month!!!!!
In the end I got a total of $120 since he got NO jail time and one year probation. After the year, guy moves, no forwarding address.
People wonder why there's so much crime? It's lucrative!

Forgot to add...that $1,200 was my total loss since most things I never recovered.
