Title: Acorn
Post by: rogwar on September 21, 2009, 04:06:18 PM: We sure have had a bumper crop this year of the big ones. The smaller acorn trees had hardly anything. The funny thing is this tree is right over where I park my truck. When you start off in the morning one almost thinks something is broken on the vehicle with them rattling around on the roof.

Took this pic with a fairly nice Sony camera I bought recently at a pawn shop for fifty bucks. Funny thing is there were no cables, accessories, or anything but just the camera. They had 4 Garmin Nuvis there as well without any mounting hardware or cables...lol.

Post by: sluggish on September 21, 2009, 08:29:08 PM: I'm confused as to why someone would pawn their GPS unit without the mount or plug... Wouldn't it be worth a lot more with those essential items?

Post by: allaire on September 21, 2009, 08:36:52 PM: Well maybe cause it wasn't their GPS units.

They probably stole it and they didn't have time to grab the rest of it.

Post by: allaire on September 21, 2009, 09:18:21 PM: Yeah and if you believe that I've got a sandbox in death valley that i would like to sell you. Pawn shops are one of the first places that get checked for stolen goods.

Which is exactly why they don't buy stolen stuff.

Post by: Shuffler on September 22, 2009, 02:54:12 PM: Unfortunately they have no way of telling if most stuff is stolen.

There is no way to track a stereo or tools.

One of my old roommates had his bike stolen off of our front porch. He found a bike matching his on eBay advertised by a local pawn shop. He went to the shop and (with the help of a police report) matched the numbers and got his bike back. Its a risk for the pawn shop to buy from people but most people cannot prove without a doubt that a stolen item is actually theirs.
