Quoted from CrazyLevi:Good call! I doubt that a pawn shop owner has in his possession any guns, and has probably never dealt with irate customers either, and likely has no understanding of his legal rights. So your plan should probably go off without a hitch.
Your ability to read and follow a thread is astounding.
Quoted from LynnInDenver:n fact, try to get a lawyer soon enough that they can be present alongside the sheriff when you attempt to get the machines released so that you can show you mean business. And be prepared to ask, right there, that the sheriff file charges of them trafficking in stolen goods, and show you're absolutely prepared to file a civil suit right alongside the criminal charges.
Basically, show it's going to be cheaper in time (and possibly money) to just give the machines back to you.
If the pawn shop owner thinks it will be in his best interest to pull a gun or make threats to the rightful property owner, his lawyer, and the sheriff he will not be in business long.
