We work with area police.....you are ignorant on how pawn shops work, we help fight crime. In the last 12 months we have helped arrest 3 area burglars.
Oh, I know a lot more than I am letting on. There is a reason why you work with the police
In areas of high "drug traffic" or where drugs like heroin and crack are prolific, pawn shops are the go to for getting rid of stolen goods for money so that they can buy a hit.
3 area burglars, huh? That is a low number.
Due to the rocketing heroin addiction rates, many people who have been kicked out of their parents homes pawn off their parents---property, saws, jewelry, china, electronics, etc. Some families don't want to deal with it, and put the kids in rehab, and write it off as a loss. Others don't.
Then you have the boyfriends or girlfriends doing the same thing.
And you also have people who steal frozen steaks and shrimp and try to pawn that off.
