Had two guitars stolen. Just filed police report. Think we know who did it and think it's in a pawn shop. Have serial number of one. Can get the serial number of the other in a few days. Is that all I need?

May be.

I got camera equipment back that way once.

Hope they come home to you and soon.

Got my guitars back today (that was quick). I had the serial number of the Fender. My wife called Rondo Music this morning and got the serial number of the Agile 12-string even though I'd bought it a while ago (thanks Rondo). They turned up at a pawn shop in the next town. The thieves had sold them there. Wife went and got them from the police and I used the Tele at a gig tonight. What a relief!

Glad to hear you got your gear back.

Have the thieves been caught and put behind bars?

Merry Christmas!
Don't forget to hit the Salvation Army bucket, or something similar. You got a MAJOR good karma turn!

nice conclusion!

do pawn shops have any consequences in these cases?

Thanks. Merry Christmas. They know who they're looking for. Don't know if they caught them yet. As for the pawn shop, they said they'll be filing charges against them too.

To complete this, be sure to assist the police and prosecutors in prosecuting the perps by going to court.

They lose the money the gave the person that sold the gear.

Why would they have consequences?

A few weeks ago someone stashed a box of DJ gear in my back yard. I looked them up on the internet and they were quite valuable. The thought of keeping them occurred in my head for a few seconds - but I couldn`t do it. I called the cops and hopefully they`ll get to their rightful owner.
