Quoted from Mbecker:It ain’t right but it’s a hell of a lot better than being out a full game. The methheads will end up getting caught eventually.
That's the best you can hope for in most of these cases. Glad thieves only got $300 and owner got their game back in the end. Not sure you can really blame the pawn shop, though. How would they really know it was stolen? They, like most people, probably had no idea what a pin like that is worth. If this was put up for sale on Craigslist or something for cheap, everyone would be racing over with cash in hand to get it.
