This has not been my experience at all (source: I was burglarized in Salt Lake City, Utah). While looking for my stolen goods at pawn shops, a homeless woman came in with a large backpack. The person working the desk clearly knew her. He asked her? "Who's bag is that marge?", to which she replied "It's yours now". A pawn shops in Salt Lake City are filled with power tools from construction sites and car radios. Their entire business is heavily subsidized by crime. My advice to readers is to write down the serial numbers of all your expensive goods. Pawn shops in Utah do have to check serial numbers against an online database of stolen goods.
