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.

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.
