Home robbery - firearms stolen
unfy:
Apparently the Marlin 22 rifle showed up at a pawn shop here in Bellevue, NE.
Now - interestingly enough - I apparently am going to have to pay the pawn shop for what they have into the gun. That's a bit confusing ... it's stolen property, etc.... wtf...
Anyway, if it's in decent shape and the pawn shop doesn't want much for it, it'll come home with me.
If anything, it'd be a conversation piece ?
They tracked down the guy that sold it to the pawn shop, got him before a judge - claims he didn't know it was stolen property and that's the end of it for that story. Oh well.
2 down!

Seems weird to me that you would have to pay the pawn shop for your own rifle. You'd think any dealer buying a used gun would be expected to make sure it was not listed as stolen. Can a dealer sell a gun he knows is reported as stolen?

See, that's my understanding as it is everywhere (varies by state it seems). So I'm confused about this.
Now if he's not asking much, I'll pay it as a 'thank you'. Good faith and all that.

Oh yes.

that is so the pawn shops are not out money , you have to buy it for the same $ amount they paid
now if they can find out who sold it to the pawn shop you may get closer to finding out who stole it ..
