Best Answer

Pawn shops are a legitimate business, and tightly regulated under state and Federal Laws. To pawn anything, you will have to provide them with your ID. If a firearm has been reported to the police as stolen, information on that gun will be entered in the NCIC computer system. When you sell that stolen gun to the pawn shop, and they enter it into their inventory, the computer system recognizes it as a stolen firearm. You get visited by the police who arrest you for possession of stolen property.

Was a police report filed when the item was stolen? Did it have any identifying marks? If so, you should be able to get it back. However, hiring a lawyer may be more expensive than buying it back from the pawn shop. Depending on your state the pawn shop can claim they bought the merchandise in "good faith" and are protected. If so you will have to hire a lawyer or pony up the cash for the property.
