I'm asking in here to see if I can get a response before I call an attorney... I'm fuming mad that this could happen, I wondered if you guys had any insight.
A good friend of mine just had her house broken into by someone she knows. The guy took a bunch of stuff, basically all he could carry, to the pawn store and got him some cash for a fix.
The police said the best course of action would be to ask him for the pawn tickets, buy their stuff back and then pursue him in civil court...
What?
I'm confused... how can this be? Does my friend have any other recourse? How can they not arrest this POS, get her stuff back from the pwan shop and have the shop be out of pocket? Are they not in fact handling stolen goods?
She and her husband live paycheck to paycheck, and, since they have no way of getting their stuff back, and it's Christmas an all, I'll probably end up getting it out for them... are they just being fed BS by the cops who don't want to fill out reports on a crackhead pawning stuff, or are they really just screwed?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
