The pawn shop can recover their invested money from me, instead of the thief, that is the way the law is here. There have been a number of accusations against this pawnshop recently, perhaps the detective sees a fencing charge coming up, which would change things. The primary thing I want changed is the current possessor of my bike return it to me, all other outcomes look like someone is getting a beating.
