Dreamingtree: Whatever you do about calling places (Pawn, LHS, whatever), do it immediately.

I had my car broken into a while back. They took some presents that were in a bag in the back seat, unfortunately, the receipts were there too, and I paid cash.

I didn't hesitate, but by the time I found out about the break-in, and reported it, the character had already gone to the store and got a cash refund on all the stuff he stole. So, he made out much better than trying to fence it through a pawn broker.

Not that he can take it to somewhere and get the full value, but he could do whatever he does immediately and you may never be able to catch the turd.
