Edit: never mind, just realized you're worried I or someone else is trying to sell stolen goods and will abuse such a list that way, sigh...
- cwillu 8y agoBecause thrift store criminals spend _so_ much time reading deeply nested comment threads on hackernews...
- bryanrasmussen 8y agomaybe the response would take 20 minutes to write.
- mseebach 8y agoThen spend the 20 minutes, or don't. Writing "the answer to your question exists" isn't a meaningful contribution.
- bryanrasmussen 8y agoare you mad at me suggesting that they didn't write it down because they thought it would take them too long to write? At any rate they didn't just say the information exists, they also said it was basic pawn shop training, so I googled "pawn shop detect stolen goods" the top answer was from quora https://www.quora.com/How-do-pawnbrokers-verify-that-the-item-pawned-is-not-stolen https://www.quora.com/How-do-pawnbrokers-verify-that-the-ite... and there was something from a blog of somebody called the blog nerd which is a little difficult reading because of all the SEO keyword optimization he seems to have done https://www.pawnnerd.com/how-do-pawn-shops-track-stolen-items/ https://www.pawnnerd.com/how-do-pawn-shops-track-stolen-item... there seemed to be a reasonable number of other informative links.
