The pawn shop owner will not refund my friend's money because he claims that the police told him that he didn't have to. This might be legally correct, but from a moral and business standpoint, wrong, wrong, wrong.
I guess anyone considering buying anything from a pawn shop should take a "stolen until proven otherwise" attitude about the merchandise and ask themselves if they want to be "robbed" of the purchase price and the item purchased, should it turn out to have been stolen property.
I think that the Tilton pawnshop made a very poor decision in not refunding my friend's money.
