FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Less than 1% of all pawned or purchased goods are even suspected of being stolen. Thieves are a pawn broker’s worst enemy, and we work closely with law enforcement to catch and prosecute these predators. A customer must provide positive identification to complete any transaction. This information, along with a detailed description of the goods and serial numbers, if issued, decreases the likelihood that thief would bring stolen merchandise to a pawn shop. Pawnbrokers are trained to look for signs of suspicious persons and signs of stolen property, working to avoid costly mistakes. It is not in the best interest of a pawn shop to accept any suspicious merchandise. If merchandise is found to be stolen, the police can seize it. The pawn shop is then at a financial loss. We at Mission City Pawn Shop Inc., having been in business for over 25 years, work on lines established by our municipality and local law enforcement. There may always be something that may slip through the system and, if discovered, we will definitely honour the transaction. You can buy with confidence from Mission City Pawn Shop Inc.
