Yes, depending on the make and how old it is.
Majority of the time, you'll get caught if it is stolen. Here in Canada, the police check pawn shops weekly for electronics that have been reported stolen. So if the computer has been reported to the police as stolen, and you sell/pawn a stolen computer, then ya I'd expect them to find out. If it is a stolen machine then whether or not it's been reported as a stolen computer really depends on the previous owner. Example: if the owner is a person who knows almost nothing about computers and they only have one to use for internet research and email etc. Then obviously that was a big deal to that owner, they used it for important things. Also for some reason a working computer to someone who knows nothing about them could be worth a lot of money in their mind. Even if its a p2/32MB SDRAM, and a 4GB HDD, if it works then it could be worth whatever they bought it for in their mind, when really it's only worth about 40$

Basically you take something you own to the pawn shop. They give you money for you're item and a ticket and also tell you a time limit.
