This morning I discovered my mother’s jewelry box has been stolen from my bedroom…at first I thought my son took it and then lied to me, so I tore his room apart. Finally I called the police and because it is burglary the Sheriff came and took the report. I told him that while I was waiting I spoke with my brother and he suggested I look around some pawn shops in the area. I offered the Sheriff my sketches I had been drawing since this morning, and also offered a list of the items I am fully knowing were in there. He declined both. What do I do now? Are pawn shops obligated to turn over items that are in a suspected case of burglary? Who do they turn them over to? If I discover something in a pawn shop do I tell the shop keeper or call the police? Anyone have any thoughts on where I go from here? Tomorrow is Monday and I plan on being on the search for most of the day…near as I can tell it has been gone for about 3-4 days.
Thanks for any hlep you have to offer.

If not your best bet would be to have a picture of the item if possible when you are going, and a detailed list of the contents that were in it when you go on your pawn shop hunt. Seeing as how jewelery was involved the items if they have been pawned would most likely be in the back in safe keeping until the time noted on the pawn ticket (date) has been reached and the items then become property of the pawn shop. If they were sold outright to a dealer you may actually see the items when you go on the hunt. If you have any reciepts for the items with a description of the item on it take that with you also, or it’s going to turn into a he said/ she said situation should you find them , as anybody could walk into a pawn shop and say, “That’s the ring, etc that was stolen” I want it back”. seeing as you don’t have proof of ownership, I’m afraid the law would lean to the side of the person/shop in possession of the item.

if you see any items at a pawn shop, call the police.
