Too good to be true?

I have a pawn shop a few miles from my home. It is just a dingy old place. They have recently aquired some REALLY high end audio equipment, $6-7000 worth of speakers and amps. This guy doesn't know a woofer from his elbow. Is there a place I can go and run the serial #'s somewhere and find out if this stuff has been stolen from someone? For that matter, buying on a site like e-bay? How do you know what your getting isn't someone elses loss?

At least in Pittsburgh, there is a Pawn Shop division for the police and they specialize in this stuff.

Just curious what brands are we talking about? You might want to do as suggested, check with the manufacturer if possible, or even post a notice here and at AA giving details just in case anyone has been ripped off. Or you could just buy the gear if the deal is good, take it home, and live happily ever after. But given the fact that you've bothered to post this leads me to beleive that you'll endeavour to get to the bottom of it if possible. Good luck!

Darn Elizabeth,
You beat me to that remark! Hey, if we STEAL (and then fence) a really big TRUCK, we could do the whole FAMILY!
To heck with free-market capitalism. I like THIS approach to stimulating the economy MUCH better!
Now if we could just get EVERYONE doing it, think of all the positive benefits!
Hmmmm.....could this lend itself to NetWork Marketing?
