It is always a good idea to have photographs of valuable items in case of theft or fire. The pawn shops in Maryland have to hold items for 30 days. Usually robbery and burglary detectives make frequent checks at the pawn shops to compare the items that were brought to the pawnshop and compare the pawned items and the stolen items. If items that are in the pawn shop can be linked to the stolen items the items are returned to the victim (S) without charge. The pawn shop takes the loss. This gives the pawn shop great incentive to get excellent ID and refuse to take items they believe to be suspicious. I really would hate to see a person victimized twice.
