The crooked pawn shops usually sit on it for quite a while befor playing with it.I had a 3000 dollar bycicle stolen and it appeared 6 months later out in the front of a less than reputable 2cnd hand store.He had tried to change the apearence some and you could tell it had been out in the rain.they are required to take a photo copy of the pearsons i.d.The photo copy was of a 40 year old lady named martia CROOK.Of course false but not store owners fault.Because I had Reported it stolen and kept my case number I was able to get it back.I also got to go t court and testify against him later and put him out of buisness.
