They should be outlawed. The SELLER must show ID, but the BUYER remains anonymous. Stolen property (the REALLY nice stuff, like jewelry and coins) is taken by the owners, for pennies on the dollar and the police, looking to recover that property, run into a dead end. You can bet your life that when a skanky crack head shows up with a $15,000 ring, they'll give her a $100 and take it home to their girlfriend. And say "Sorry, we don't know who bought it". And they know damn well that crackhead didn't own that ring, or the OTHER pieces of jewelry/coins that she shows up weekly to "sell" to them. Felony accessory to theft. NONE of them claim to be suspicious at all when people who obviously have no means show up with thousands of dollars in property EVERY WEEK(!??).
My husband had a tool stolen off the job and the thief took it to the pawn shop to sell it. It had my husband's business name and phone number right on the case. The tool was brand new and they could tell something was up. After questioning the guy, they called the police, and then my husband. Great job, Crazy Louie's!
Kinda hard to put your name and phone number on a diamond ring or a coin. They are accessories to crime and one of the few places where they can turn stolen property into heroin. Trust me --- the police would have got that tool back if even if crazy louie never said a word. Who thinks that some kid rolling in there with a bag full of diamonds, tanzanite, rubies, gold, and sapphires OWNED that much jewelry? And next week they come in with 300 CD's of movies (all theirs, of course, of course). And next week show up with some rifles? And the following week show up with MORE jewelry? Because YOU had a clearly marked item returned doesn't let them off the hook for what they do. Get real.
Sound's like the gang at crazy Louie's! 2 cents on the dollar, take it or leave it.....
