Now comes the frustrating part......you don't just "get" your stuff back......you have to wait for the suspects to be tried (our stuff is evidence), then you have to convince the pawn shop owner where they sold our stuff to give it back to us. According to the detective, some will just hand it over, some will offer to sell it to you for what they paid for it. Sounds terribly unjust, but really, the pawn shop paid money for this stuff, so they will be out if they just give it back, and they did comply with the law by holding and reporting all new acquisitions to the police dept. I guess sometimes you have to file suit against them in order to get your things back. We will see.....it will be a while anyway until we can entertain re-acquiring our stuff...the edges will have to wait to get edged.......I'm just thankful all the more that nothing more serious happened with these people........
