I have referred to a pawn shop in earlier Posts. I will guess that many of the readers of this Blog have never been inside a pawn shop. Maybe you will agree with me, after reading this Post, it is a very sad place.
WHY PEOPLE PAWN ITEMS?
1. Temporary Cash Need---In spite of high comparative interest, it is a quick, no-credit check way to get some much needed cash for legitimate reasons.
2. Dump Stolen Items---Police regularly check pawn shops for reported stolen property. A smart thief goes some distance from the local area to dump their items.
3. Cash for Drugs and/or Gambling---This is a major motivator for people in Oklahoma to pawn or sell outright important and expensive
items.
Here's the part that really affects me----children and other family members anxiously await, in the car, the return of the person pawning an item.
