There is a form they make sellers fill out and you must provide a picture ID in most cases. The pawn shop then must send that form to the local police department who then files it so that they can track the items if needed.
Pawning stolen property is a crime. All pawnbrokers in America work closely in concert with their local police departments via the Automated Pawn System (aps) so if you pawn stolen merchandise you will most likely get caught, arrested, and locked in prison.
Stolen bikes are typically sold on online marketplaces, at pawn shops, and in underground markets.
Most pawn shops have to make a list of all items pawned, the models numbers and the serial numbers. Those lists are collected by the local Police Depts and the information checked against stolen equipment reports. The shop will learn later if they have a stolen pawned item.
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.
Stolen bikes are typically sold on online marketplaces, social media platforms, pawn shops, and at flea markets.

No, despite the public perception. For a pawn shop to pawn or sell firearms, they must have a Federal Firearms license. When buying a gun from a pawn shop, you will complete the same paperwork, police background check, etc, as if you were buying from a gun store. Criminals obtain their guns mainly by stealing them. I enjoy shopping in pawn shops, and occasionally you find good bargains there. PS- as far as pawn shops selling stolen goods- they are regulated by the police, you will need ID to pawn or sell an item there. Pawned items are checked by the police against a list of items reported stolen.
