Home robbery - firearms stolen
RageTherapy:
I can't believe they made you pay to get your gun back. That's a load of bull. That can't possibly be the law.

Depends on the county here in NE.
In Douglas, the OPD would have confiscated the firearm from the pawn shop and returned it to me.
In Sarpy, it's up to me to go get the firearm from the pawn shop and reimburse them what they had into it.
Lets say the police take it and return it to me. The pawn shop just got screwed out of the money they paid for the gun. The pawn shop did NOTHING wrong.
Lets say I have to go reimburse the pawn shop for the gun. I just got screwed by having to pay for what was already rightfully mine. I've done NOTHING wrong.
In either situation, someone gets screwed. I can see both sides of the fence, whatever.

Pawn shops know that there is a real possibility that the goods peddled to them are stolen. I think that they should be prepared to give up anything that is PROVEN stolen to stay within the law. If they lose property that they buy because it was found to be stolen, they have greater interest in staying honest.
How does someone pawn a firearm with a stolen serial number anyway?
If you went in and "stole" your firearm back, how could you be convicted?
How could a business owner sell you back what he knows is yours with a clear conscious?
I wonder if several people contacted the business with questions such as these if they would be compelled to do what everyone knows would be the right thing.
