<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kountryken, post: 24702900, member: 89798&quot;]Chris, I think you&#039;ve been given some bad information. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the law in Florida reference pawn brokers: </p><p><a href="https://www.floridatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/12/17/dont-pay-your-own-stolen-property-pawn-shop-opinion/8908429002/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.floridatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/12/17/dont-pay-your-own-stolen-property-pawn-shop-opinion/8908429002/" rel="nofollow">https://www.floridatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/12/17/dont-pay-your-own-stolen-property-pawn-shop-opinion/8908429002/</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;A Court can return property to the rightful owner — you — without you having to pay for it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Sections 78.01, and 539.001(15), Florida Statutes, enables you to recover your property from a pawn shop without paying for it. But you must follow the proper steps. You may have to go through small claims court, but if you do it right the pawn shop will not only have to return your property, but will have to pay any court costs and lawyer fees you incur.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t copy the whole article, but you can get your property back without having to &quot;buy it back&quot;. There are steps to follow, but it&#039;s very straight forward. When you find your property, call the police to the pawn shop. They can seize the property as evidence (this is, of course, the best and easiest way for you) and the court will award it to you when the case is finished. Or, at the least you can have them put a &quot;hold&quot; on the property if the police doesn&#039;t seize it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps. But, of course, you&#039;ve got to find the property and the pawn shop.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
